How to make a website for a building contractor

People who want to build a house or add a floor look for a thekedar they can trust with money for months. Before calling they want to see houses you have built, your rate per square foot with or without material, and how you take payment stage by stage. A website with that answers sends them to your WhatsApp for a meeting.

What people look for on a building contractor website

Work you take: new houses, extra floors, shops, renovation, boundary walls
Rates per square foot: labour only, and with material, and what each includes
The stages of work and the payment due at each stage
Houses and buildings you have finished, with the locality and year
That you work from your client's drawings by an architect or engineer
The materials you use by type and grade, and how the owner can check them
Your office address, GST number if you have one, and the areas you work in

The pages your website needs

Home: The work you take, the areas, years in the trade and a WhatsApp button to discuss a plot
Services: New houses, extra floors, shops and renovation, each with what you handle and what the owner arranges
Rates and stages: Labour-only and with-material rates per sq ft, what is included, and the payment at each stage from foundation to finishing
Our projects: Finished and running sites with photos, locality, floors and year
Contact: Office address, GST number if you have one, timings, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

House construction and extra floors in Indore

Labour contract from ₹420 per sq ft, or with material from ₹1,750 per sq ft. We build from your architect's drawings, with payment at each finished stage.

Malviya Constructions has built houses and floors in Vijay Nagar, Sudama Nagar and Rau since 2005. We follow the drawings your architect or engineer gives, show you every stage before asking for the next payment, and keep a register of cement and steel on site that you can check.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

Tips for a building contractor website

Say plainly that you build from drawings by the owner's architect or engineer; don't give structural advice on the website.
Explain what your labour-only and with-material rates include, item by item; that is the question every owner asks.
List payment stages with what must be finished before each, so owners feel in control of their money.
Photograph each site at every stage; running sites show more than finished photos alone.
Show your GST number if you have one, and keep claims about materials to type and grade you really use.
Add your office to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile, and link the website there.

Good to know

Owners can't upload drawings, get an instant estimate or pay on the website; they WhatsApp or call you. To track labour, material and stage payments across sites, a building contractor's app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should a contractor's website show the rate per square foot?

Yes, both labour-only and with-material if you offer them, with what each includes. Say the final estimate follows the drawings.

Can I explain foundation or column sizes on the website?

Leave structural details to the owner's architect or engineer. Say you build from their drawings and supervise the work to them.

Should I show running sites or only finished houses?

Both help. Running sites with stage photos show how you work; finished houses show the result.

How do I show my payment stages?

List each stage and what is finished before payment, such as plinth complete or first slab cast. Owners prefer knowing this before the meeting.

Can owners send me their plans through the website?

They tap WhatsApp on any page and send the plan or plot photos in the chat. The website itself can't take uploads.

Will plot owners in my city find my website?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your areas and services set out for search engines. Where they appear is Google's decision.
