Structural Engineering Office Website for Projects and Hiring: Dublin Cost (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

For a Dublin structural engineering office with 24 engineers, a serious website costs EUR 9,000 to 18,000 excl. VAT in 2026 and ships in 7 to 10 weeks. Its value comes from two levers: filterable project references that reassure clients and a careers page connected to an ATS that lowers the cost of every hire. A single engineer hired directly instead of through an agency often pays back half the project.

What the website must prove to clients

A developer, a local authority or an approved housing body checking your website before a tender looks for three things: projects comparable to theirs, technical competence (Eurocodes and Irish National Annexes, BIM, retrofit, timber frame) and delivery capacity. With 300 projects a year, you have the material. The problem is usually presentation: a 2019 brochure PDF and a photo gallery without context.

The right architecture relies on 40 structured reference pages: typology (residential, education, bridges, industrial), material (reinforced concrete, steel, timber), scope (concept to detailed design, survey, strengthening), construction value and year. Filters let a client find your 6 timber-frame schools in 10 seconds.

The careers page, the main profitability lever

The market for structural engineers remains tight in Ireland: profiles with 3 to 8 years of experience get several approaches a week. A recruitment agency charges 15 to 20% of the annual gross salary. For a senior engineer on EUR 60,000, that means EUR 9,000 to 12,000 per hire.

An effective careers page shows what candidates want to know: project types, software (Robot, Tekla, Revit), hybrid work, path to chartership with Engineers Ireland, salary ranges. Connected to an ATS (Teamtailor, Workable, Recruitee), it centralises applications and builds a talent pool.

Typical 7 to 10 week schedule

Weeks 1 and 2 cover the scoping workshop and the reference inventory. Weeks 3 to 5 cover design and the reference template. Weeks 6 to 8 are for development, the ATS connector and entering the 40 projects. Weeks 9 and 10 are reserved for testing, technical SEO and launch. The critical point is content collection: plan for one internal person 2 hours a week to validate the pages.

Mini case study

Ciara, managing director of a concrete and steel design office in Dublin, plans 4 engineer hires in 2026. She invests EUR 14,000 excl. VAT in the website, plus EUR 1,500 a year of maintenance. Without a careers site, she used an agency for 3 roles out of 4, about 3 × 10,500 = EUR 31,500. With the careers page and ATS, she hires 2 directly and only one through an agency: 10,500 + 2 × 1,000 = EUR 12,500. The saving reaches EUR 19,000 in year one, covering the investment, not counting the 2 tenders won thanks to the reference pages.

FAQ

How much does a structural engineering office website cost in 2026?

Budget EUR 9,000 to 18,000 excl. VAT depending on the number of references and the ATS integration. Maintenance adds EUR 90 to 160 per month.

Should construction values appear on reference pages?

Yes, as a range (for example EUR 2 to 5 million). Clients often filter by project size, and 70% of the most viewed pages mention one.

Which ATS should we connect to the careers page?

For 24 engineers, Teamtailor or Workable are enough, at EUR 100 to 300 per month. The connector costs EUR 1,500 to 3,500 depending on depth.

Can we manage the reference pages ourselves?

Yes, with a simple back office: one page takes about 20 minutes. A 2-hour training session is included at handover.

Does the website really help win public tenders?

It does not replace the technical submission, but it strengthens it: a link to 6 comparable references makes your bid more credible during evaluation on eTenders.
