Built for the phone in your pocket

Be the first firm they call

Somebody needs a roof, a rewire or a whole house built. They search, they open two or three sites on their phone, and they call whichever one answers their question fastest. We build the site that wins that thirty seconds: quick to load, easy to call, and honest about the work you actually do.

Four jobs, four demos

Get found, make an impression, and answer while you are on site

A construction site is a bad place to take a sales call, and the people looking for you are searching at nine at night. These are the four jobs your website should be doing in the meantime. The first three show a real client of ours, Starlit Homes in London, and the fourth is a sample assistant.

Get named when somebody asks an AI who to build with

More people start with a question typed into ChatGPT than called a builder they found in a directory. The answer names two or three firms and says why. Getting into it takes the thing you already have and rarely write down: what you build, where you build it, and what you do differently. Starlit publish their airtightness standard and their tested result on every home, which is exactly the kind of specific, checkable detail an answer can quote.

Illustration, showing our client Starlit Homes. Every fact in the answer is published on their own site. The answer itself is an example of the shape a good one takes, rather than a ranking we have measured.

Turn up at the top when they search your trade and their town

Most construction searches are a job and a place: custom home builder London, roofer in Barrie, basement rewire near me. Today the top of that page is usually a directory selling your competitors leads about you. We give Google a real page for each service and each area you cover, so the result they tap is yours and the call comes to your phone rather than through a middleman.

Open with the work moving

You get about four seconds before somebody decides whether you build to the standard they want. A photo grid rarely carries that. A short film of a finished house does it immediately, and most builders already have the footage sitting on a phone or a drone card. Below is the front page we built for Starlit Homes in London, running their own film behind the first thing you read.

Answer the questions at nine at night, then hand over a real lead

Do you build in my area, what does it cost a square foot, how long is the wait. You answer these all week from a truck. An assistant on your own site answers them the moment somebody is deciding, then does the part that matters: it takes their name, their number and their address and passes them to you. You wake up with a lead instead of a missed call.

Hi — ask me anything about building with us. Costs, timelines, areas we cover.

Ask about your build…

Mock-up, using a sample firm rather than a real one — the prices and policies here are illustrative. A real assistant is briefed on your own numbers and sends the enquiry wherever you want it.

What you get

What gets built, and what each piece is there to do

A call button that follows people down the page

One tap, no hunting for a number, no form to fill in first. On a phone it sits at the bottom of the screen the whole way down, because most of your customers would rather ring you than type.

A page for every area you serve

One page per town or neighbourhood, so somebody searching for a roofer in their own suburb finds a page about their own suburb rather than a list of thirty places you cover. Adding a new area later takes a line in a spreadsheet.

A page for every service or model you offer

Kitchens, rewires, re-roofs, or your floor plans and model homes, each with its own page and its own photos. People search for the job they need, not for a company that does everything.

Your Google reviews pulled onto your own site

They update themselves, so the wall of five stars is on your page rather than one click away on somebody else's. New reviews appear without anyone touching the site.

Before-and-after galleries that load fast on a phone

The single most persuasive thing a construction firm owns, sized so it appears immediately on site data rather than after a spinner. Drag the slider, see the difference.

Job-site updates turned into posts without you writing them

Talk through a walkthrough on your phone for a few minutes and it comes back as a written update for the site. That steady trickle of real work is what makes a builder look busy and trusted.

Pricing

What each tier looks like for a construction firm

Pricing is published and sits below what most agencies quote. Each tier is a one-time build, plus an optional monthly plan from $300 that keeps the site running and reports on how people are finding you.

Site

$2,500

Site at $2,500 covers up to 8 pages: home, about, contact, three of your main services, a gallery and a reviews page. It suits a one-or-two-van operation that needs to stop losing calls to a slow, dated site.

Story

$5,000

Story at $5,000 covers up to 15 pages plus the writing and video setup, so job-site walkthroughs become posts and each of your main services gets a proper page with its own photos. It fits an established firm with a crew and a steady flow of work worth showing.

Engine

$9,000

Engine at $9,000 builds 200+ pages at once: every service crossed with every town you cover, plus a page for each model or subdivision. This is the tier that picks up the hundreds of small local searches nobody else has bothered to answer.

Studio

$15,000+

Studio at $15,000 and up is for firms running several brands or divisions, a quote request that has to land in your job management software, or a builder with multiple communities that each need their own site.

Monthly plan (search and AI work included at every tier)

Local$300/mo
Hosting, upkeep, 1 post a month
Growth$700/mo
+ 4 posts a month, rival tracking
Authority$2,000+/mo
+ press, reviews, research

Prices shown exclude applicable taxes.

Proof in the wild

Starlit Homes: a four-page site turned into the reason people call

Starlit Homes build high-performance custom homes in London and southwestern Ontario, tested and engineered well beyond code. Their website was four pages and said almost none of that, which meant a buyer comparing them against a volume builder had nothing to compare except the price.

We rebuilt it into roughly thirty pages: one for every model, one for the building standards they hold themselves to, and a running blog about how the houses are actually made. The things that justify their price are now written down where a buyer reads them, before the first meeting rather than during it.

The same approach runs under Blackstone General Contractors and Zebra Home Cinema. Different trades, same problem: the work is excellent and the website was the weakest thing about the business.

Why us

What comes with a Space & Story build

Speed on a phone is the starting point, not a nice-to-have. Your customers search standing on a job site with one bar of signal.

Adding a new town or a new service takes a line in a spreadsheet, so the site keeps up with where you actually work instead of waiting on a web project.

Getting you named when somebody asks ChatGPT for a builder in your area is included in every monthly plan, and we show you the traffic it brings.

Mahmoud built the booking system that handled roughly a quarter of Canada's daily COVID vaccinations, so the site staying up under load is not the interesting part of the job for us.

Our own site gets 32% of its visitors from AI tools, more than 11,618 visits in a single week. We build your site the same way we built ours.

Free audit

24-page AI search audit, no commitment.

You hand us your web address and we send back a scored report: how fast the site loads on a phone, whether Google and ChatGPT can actually read it, how often they mention you today, and the gap between what you have and what builders and contractors need to show up in 2026. A web address is all we need.
