A commercial contractor’s site launches cleanly when an estimator or facilities manager can scan it in two minutes and decide you belong on the bid list. They look for scale, trades, safety practice and a named way to send plans.
How the launch unfolds
Day 1-2: you send your trades list, project categories and safety summary, and we outline a home page built around a request-for-bid button
Week 1: we write the capabilities and projects pages and confirm each project description is something you can share
Week 2: the safety and process page is finished, the bid form asks for scope, location and timeline, and you test it with a sample request
Launch week: we connect your domain, you check it on a phone and a laptop as an estimator would, and we publish ahead of the next budget cycle
What to gather before you start
- ✓Capabilities by trade — what you self-perform, what you subcontract and the project delivery methods you work under
- ✓Project categories with scope notes — tenant improvements, medical offices, warehouses or retail build-outs, with the type and size of the work described
- ✓Photos you have permission to show — completed spaces, jobsite organization and crews in safety gear, with tenant names left off
- ✓Safety program summary — how you plan a site, run toolbox talks and manage subcontractors, in a few honest paragraphs
- ✓Bid submission checklist — what drawings, schedules and contact details help you respond quickly
The first month after launch
In the first month, add completed-project photos as owners grant permission and refine project descriptions with real scope details. Check that the license wording and safety summary are current. Review the first bid inquiries to see which project types arrive most and give those a fuller page.
Mistakes to avoid at launch
- ✓Showing projects with no scale or scope — an estimator cannot tell whether you handle the size of job they have
- ✓Using homeowner language such as dream spaces — a facilities manager decides within seconds that you are not their vendor
- ✓Making the bid form too long — busy project managers abandon it and send plans by another channel
