What does 2026 construction data tell contractors?
In its bulletin published on 13 March 2026, the Office for National Statistics estimated that construction output in Great Britain fell by 2.0% in the three months to January 2026. This is a historical market-output measure, not a marketing ROI figure or a forecast of your enquiries. Use it as context when planning which project types and buyers to prioritise.

What should a construction website actually do?
Help the right buyer understand your capabilities, trust your delivery and start a useful conversation. Everything else should support that.
Roofers & specialist trades
Explain the systems and jobs you actually take on. Show relevant projects and make an enquiry straightforward on a phone.
Housebuilders & developers
Organise schemes, availability and development information around the buyer journey, with a clear route to the right team.
Building product firms
Help specifiers find applications, technical documents and product information without digging through marketing copy.

Fit-Out & Interiors / 2024
Holborn Studio
Website & launch content for a Central London fit-out specialist
We designed and built a bespoke editorial site engineered around the work itself, full-bleed photography, considered typography, and project films shot across nine completed schemes. The site is fast, accessible, and easy for the team to update.

05 / BEFORE YOU COMMISSION
What should be in your website brief?
Use these questions to define the work, whether you are replacing an existing website or starting fresh.
- 01
Make the offer unmistakable
Name the work you want to win, the buyers you serve and your genuine coverage area. A buyer should not have to decode your business.
- 02
Show evidence, not adjectives
Build project pages around the brief, scope, constraints and finished work. Use approved photography, client comments and relevant accreditations.
- 03
Give every enquiry a clear next step
Put an obvious contact option beside service and project information. Ask for enough detail to qualify the opportunity, without making the first conversation hard.
- 04
Protect what already works
Before replacing a site, record its important pages, enquiries and search visibility. Map old addresses to the right new pages instead of sending everything to the homepage.
- 05
Plan for life after launch
Decide who updates projects and services, what training they need and how you will review enquiries. A website should stay useful after the launch announcement.
