Architects, civil and structural engineers and multidisciplinary consultancies win work on reputation: the projects they have delivered, the clients they have served and the expertise of their people. Increasingly, developers, manufacturers and public bodies check that reputation online before inviting a firm to bid.
We have built websites for architecture and engineering consultancies, and here is what their clients look for.
What clients look for on a consultant’s website
- A strong project portfolio with photographs, scope, location, size and client
- Services by discipline: architecture, structural, MEP, project management, surveying, planning and permits
- Sectors served: industrial, commercial, residential, healthcare, education and infrastructure
- Key people, their qualifications and professional registrations
- Recognisable clients and evidence of repeat work
- Sustainability credentials, such as LEED, BREEAM or Passivhaus experience, where relevant
- A clear way to discuss a new project
Must-have website features
- A filterable portfolio by sector, service and location, with a detail page for each major project.
- Service and sector pages that answer the questions clients actually ask.
- Client logos and testimonials, with permission.
- Team profiles that build confidence in your expertise.
- A careers page to attract architects and engineers in a tight hiring market.
- Fast image loading, because portfolios are image-heavy and visitors judge quality in seconds.
- SEO for searches like “industrial architect Manchester” or “structural engineer Denver”, plus pages in other languages if you work across borders.
Software that helps consultancies deliver
Growing practices juggle many projects, drawings, approvals and invoices at once. Custom software can bring together:
- Project and task tracking with milestones and team assignments
- Drawing and document registers with revision control
- Timesheets and resource allocation across projects
- Fee schedules, milestone billing and outstanding payments
- A secure client portal to share drawings, reports and updates
Builders and contractors you work with may also benefit from a simple daily site progress report app.
