The verdict in three sentences
For a construction inspection body, the website mainly exists to get shortlisted by developers and public clients when they build their list of firms to invite. A budget of EUR 11,000 to 21,000 excl. VAT funds a site with 6 branch pages optimised for local SEO, an inspection request form with drawings attached and service sheets (structural, fire safety, accessibility). Delivered in 8 to 10 weeks, it targets 15 to 25 enquiries per month.
What the client is really looking for
A programme manager at a Dublin developer or a procurement officer at a county council does not want a slogan. They want to know whether you cover their county, which services you deliver (structural inspection, fire safety certification support, Disability Access Certificate support, BCAR assigned certifier support, energy), your accreditation, how fast the first report is issued and who the local contact is. For public tenders, they also check references on schools, social housing and public buildings.
The site must organise this by branch and by service, with a direct path to the request form.
| Site block | Value for the prospect | Indicative 2026 budget (excl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 branch pages (Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Sligo) | Find the branch and local contact | EUR 2,400 to 4,200 |
| Service sheets (structural, fire, access, BCAR, energy) | Understand the regulatory scope | EUR 1,800 to 3,500 |
| Inspection request form + drawings (50 MB) | Send a workable file | EUR 1,500 to 3,200 |
| Filterable references (public, housing, industry) | Reassure a public buyer | EUR 1,200 to 2,800 |
| Accreditation, insurance, methods page | Documents required in tenders | EUR 600 to 1,300 |
| Engineer recruitment area | Fill hard-to-hire roles | EUR 800 to 1,800 |
| Design, build, technical SEO | Fast, solid foundation | EUR 2,700 to 4,200 |
Packages, timelines and running costs
The main variable is the depth of the request form and the volume of references. A 6-branch body with 40 to 70 staff usually fits the middle package.
| Package | Scope | Price excl. VAT | Timeline | Maintenance / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local | 15 pages, 6 branches, simple form | EUR 11,000 to 13,500 | 8 weeks | EUR 90 to 110 |
| Regional | 25 pages, service sheets, drawings upload | EUR 14,500 to 17,500 | 9 weeks | EUR 110 to 140 |
| Network | 35 pages, filterable references, CRM | EUR 18,000 to 21,000 | 10 weeks | EUR 140 to 170 |
| Option: CRM connector (HubSpot, Pipedrive) | Leads tracked per branch | EUR 1,200 to 2,500 | +1 week | included |
| Option: 6 optimised Google Business Profiles | Local Maps visibility | EUR 900 to 1,600 | 2 weeks | n/a |
| Option: 4 technical articles per quarter | Regulatory SEO (Part B, Part M, BCAR) | EUR 1,400 to 2,400/quarter | ongoing | n/a |
Attached drawings require secure storage: encrypted files, access links expiring after 30 days and automatic notification of the relevant branch. That is what turns a contact form into an inspection request you can price within 48 h.
Multi-branch local SEO
Each branch needs a unique page: team, areas covered, local references, address and opening hours. Duplicate pages where only the town name changes are ignored by Google. Plan 600 to 900 genuine words per branch and 3 illustrated references. On queries like "building inspection Galway" or "BCAR certifier Cork", competition remains moderate and reaching page one in 4 to 8 months is realistic.

Niamh, regional director of an inspection body in Dublin, picks the Regional package at EUR 16,000 excl. VAT, plus EUR 130 per month for maintenance, about EUR 17,560 in year one. The site brings 18 enquiries per month, 30% of them from local searches. At a 20% conversion rate and an average assignment of EUR 7,500, that is roughly 43 assignments a year, nearly EUR 324,000 in revenue. Even if only a quarter of those assignments is attributable to the new site, the contribution is EUR 81,000, more than four times the investment.
FAQ
