Construction in Senegal does not sell from a business card
Diamniadio, Lac Rose, VDN, Mbour, Saly: construction sites are booming. But to land a contract — private owner, developer, government, international donor — your credibility is checked online before the first meeting.
Clients systematically Google your company. If they find nothing, or worse, an amateur site, you are out of the race. Here is how a construction website must be built to win.
The 4 pillars of a converting construction site
1. Flawless project portfolio
Every project = a detailed case:
- Before/during/after photos (drone recommended)
- Precise location (neighborhood, city)
- Surface, budget range, duration
- Type: villa, apartment block, road, rehabilitation, shell
- Owner testimonial (short, authentic)
A portfolio of 15 well-presented builds beats 50 partner logos.
2. "Technical capacity" page
Major buyers (government, BOAD, AFD, World Bank, developers) verify:
- Accreditation and category (building, roads, water)
- Equipment fleet (excavators, mixers, cranes, trucks)
- Team (engineers, site managers, foremen)
- Certifications (ISO, local qualification)
- Turnover and financial capacity
3. Structured quote request
A construction form does not ask "your message". It asks:
- Project type (new build, rehabilitation, extension)
- Location
- Estimated surface
- Approximate budget (ranges)
- Desired timeline
- Optional plans upload
With that, you filter serious leads in 2 minutes.
4. Institutional references and visual signature

- "Roads and sanitation Dakar"
- "Certified general contractor Senegal"
- "House construction quote Mbour"
- "Building rehabilitation Plateau"
A polished Google Business Profile in Dakar generates 20 to 40 qualified calls per month.
The diaspora builds back home
More than 60% of new villas in Saly, Ngaparou, Somone are funded by Senegalese in Europe. Your site must:
- Explain a remote process (weekly photos, video calls, reports)
- Offer secure tranche payments
- Display a visible decennial warranty
