Engineering Consultancy Website in Berlin: Case Studies, Credentials and 2026 Cost

The verdict in three sentences

For an engineering consultancy bidding on public and private contracts, the website first serves to reassure a client or lead architect in under two minutes, between reading the bid and making the shortlist. A realistic 2026 budget is 6,000 to 14,000 EUR excl. VAT, a decisive share of which goes to structuring 20 to 40 project case studies filterable by building type, value and scope. Plan 6 to 8 weeks, provided photos, client references and credentials are gathered before kick-off.

What really weighs in a bid shortlist

The managing partner of a 35-engineer building services and structural consultancy usually sees the same problem: case studies sit in bid PDFs, scattered and never up to date. Yet a public buyer hesitating between three consortia checks websites to confirm experience on comparable projects. The site should therefore follow the logic of a technical proposal.

The filter by building type (housing, offices, healthcare, education, industry) and by construction value is the most useful feature: it lets an architect find your last five schools above 3 million euros in one click.

2026 budget: three website levels

Recurring maintenance and hosting cost 60 to 180 EUR excl. VAT per month. A photo shoot of 4 to 6 completed buildings adds 800 to 1,500 EUR and often makes the difference against site photos taken on a phone.

Recruitment, the website's second job

In 2026 an experienced building services engineer commands roughly 45,000 to 55,000 EUR gross a year in southwest France and somewhat more in Berlin (order of magnitude), and hiring through a recruiter costs 15 to 20% of that salary. A careers page showing projects, BIM tools and career progression reduces reliance on recruiters. Add a short application form and job postings structured for Google for Jobs.

Mini case study

Philippe, managing partner of a 35-engineer building services and structural consultancy in Toulouse, picks the standard level at 10,000 EUR excl. VAT, plus 1,200 EUR of photography. He answers 60 tenders a year with an 18% success rate, about 11 contracts. If better-presented case studies add 2 points to the success rate, he wins one more contract a year. With average fees of 45,000 EUR and a 20% margin, the gain is 9,000 EUR a year. If he also avoids one recruiter-led hire (about 8,500 EUR), the website pays for itself in under a year. The same arithmetic applies to a Berlin firm of similar size.

FAQ

Can we publish the construction value of our projects?

Generally yes, since awarded public contracts are published. For private clients, ask for consent or show a range, such as 2 to 5 million euros.

How many case studies do we need at launch?

Twenty well-documented entries are enough to start, prioritising the building types you target. Then add 1 to 2 entries a month, about 30 minutes of CMS input each.

Should qualification certificates be downloadable?

It is recommended: a buyer checking a qualification saves time. Update the PDFs at each renewal, typically every 4 years with an annual review for OPQIBI.

Can the website generate case study sheets for our bids?

Yes, a PDF export per entry or per selection costs 800 to 1,500 EUR excl. VAT as an option and avoids maintaining two separate reference databases.

Is six to eight weeks realistic?

Yes if content is ready. In practice, collecting photos and project data often adds 2 to 3 weeks.
