The verdict in three sentences
For a commercial real estate advisory in Dublin, the website has to prove market knowledge (Docklands offices, M50 logistics, Grafton Street retail), real, up-to-date listings and credible published research. A local agency typically quotes a 2026 ballpark of 12,000 to 35,000 EUR for this kind of site, while Kolonell's fixed grid runs from 2,700 EUR (Starter) to 8,200 EUR (Premium), with a project manager reachable in your time zone. The gap is real, but it only works in your favour if your scope fits a presentation and lead generation site, without a portal or heavy integration.
What a commercial real estate advisory website costs in Dublin in 2026
Typical local agency quotes and public agency rate pages point to the following ranges. They are ballpark figures, to be checked against your own quotes.
| Provider | Indicative range (2026 ballpark) | Usual timeline | What you generally get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dublin freelancer | 3,000 to 8,000 EUR | 4 to 8 weeks | Adapted theme, little content strategy |
| Local web agency | 12,000 to 25,000 EUR | 8 to 12 weeks | Custom design, CMS, local support |
| Premium Dublin agency | 30,000 to 70,000 EUR | 3 to 5 months | Brand workshop, UX research, integrations |
| Kolonell Starter | 2,700 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Polished presentation site, native English copy |
| Kolonell Growth | 4,500 EUR | 3 to 4 weeks | Richer structure: sectors, listings, research |
| Kolonell Premium | 8,200 EUR | 4 to 6 weeks | Multilingual tier, languages set in the quote |
Every Kolonell tier includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English or French copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (4 to 6 for Premium) and 3 months of support. Client-only areas, investor portals and integrations with your CRM or listings database are on quote. Tier details are on the international offer page.
What a commercial real estate advisory website must prove
A corporate real estate director looking for 4,000 m² of offices, a landlord wanting to let a warehouse in Ballycoolin or an investor assessing an income-producing asset do not read your site like a homebuyer. Within minutes they check that you know their segment. The pages they expect:
- One page per service line: tenant representation, landlord leasing, investment, valuation and advisory, asset management.
- One page per segment: offices, logistics and industrial, retail, alternatives (data centres, student accommodation) if you genuinely cover them.
- Listings, only real ones with a mandate, removed as soon as they are no longer available.
- Quarterly market reports, downloadable, dated and with methodology.
- The team, with areas of expertise and direct contact details.
- Transactions, only where they are public and the client has agreed.
On obligations, property services providers in Ireland fall under a licensing regime run by the Property Services Regulatory Authority. Forms and tracking tools must comply with the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, supervised by the Data Protection Commission, and the European Accessibility Act raises expectations on digital accessibility. Have your adviser review these points. This is not legal advice.
Hidden costs and the three-year total
The build price is only part of the bill. Here is a three-year projection for a Growth-type site, with market assumptions clearly labelled.
| Item | Dublin local agency | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Website build | 18,000 EUR (ballpark) | 4,500 EUR |
| Property and team photography | 1,500 to 3,000 EUR (third party) | 1,500 to 3,000 EUR (third party) |
| Any translations | Third party, by volume | Third party, or Premium tier |
| Compliance review by your adviser | Variable, to budget | Variable, to budget |
| Maintenance after delivery | 150 to 400 EUR / month (market assumption) | On quote after the 3 included months |
| CRM or listings feed integration | Often 3,000 to 10,000 EUR | On quote |
With maintenance at 250 EUR a month (market assumption) and 2,000 EUR of photography, the local agency comes to 18,000 + 2,000 + 9,000 = 29,000 EUR over 36 months. For Kolonell, the total will depend on the maintenance quote after the 3 included months; the build alone is a quarter of the local agency's.
When a local agency is the better choice
To be fair: a Dublin agency makes sense if you need repeated in-person workshops with several partners, an investor portal holding sensitive data, a deep integration with your listings tool or a full brand programme. In those cases the premium buys proximity and scope. Kolonell built the website of Orven Properties, a real estate company in Dubai, entirely remotely; this model works well for a clear scope, less so for a project that needs weekly on-site meetings.

Questions to ask any provider: who writes the segment pages? How are listings updated and removed? Who owns the code and the domain? What does a change cost after the support period?
Mini case study
Illustrative example: Liffey Quay Advisory, a nine-adviser firm focused on offices and logistics. Quotes received: a local agency at 22,000 EUR, Kolonell Growth at 4,500 EUR, plus 2,500 EUR of photography in both cases. Build gap: 22,000 - 4,500 = 17,500 EUR. If the firm reinvests 6,000 EUR of that gap in producing four quarterly market reports, it still keeps 11,500 EUR, and it has content its clients actually read.
FAQ
Is the 2,700 EUR Starter tier enough for an advisory firm?
It suits a firm of two to four advisers that wants a credible presence and a contact form. Once you publish regular listings and reports, Growth at 4,500 EUR is a better fit.
Can the site be in English and Irish, or English and French?
Yes, that is the role of the Premium tier at 8,200 EUR, the multilingual tier. Languages are set in the quote.
Can we connect our listings from our property CRM?
It is possible, but integrations are on quote because they depend on the tool and its API. On the local market, expect 3,000 to 10,000 EUR for this kind of work.
How long does it take to go live?
Between 3 and 4 weeks for Starter and Growth, 4 to 6 weeks for Premium, provided content and photos arrive on schedule.
What happens after the 3 months of support?
Maintenance is offered on quote based on the volume of updates. You remain free to hand it to another provider.
Let's scope your project. A Growth site at 4,500 EUR, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks with segment pages and market reports, covers most Dublin advisory firms. See the international offer or request a free quote: detailed reply within 48 hours.
