AI website builder for contractors
A general contractor website that shows you can run the whole job
Show real project scope, answer the bid and permit questions up front, and keep requests from homeowners, owners and subs in one place. AI writes it from the general contractor template or your present website.
You see the plan before the rest of your site is built. Nothing goes public until you approve the build.
For owner-led general contracting firms that run residential or light commercial work with their own crews and subcontractors.
At a glance
AI Centery is an AI website builder used for general contractor website design: it writes each page from your project details or your existing site, and nothing goes live until you approve the build.
A builder's site can show a portfolio of your own job photos, give every line of work on your current site a page (up to 24), and gather bid requests in one leads inbox with email alerts.
Start with the general contractor template or your existing site; once the page plan and the home page read like your firm, approve the build.
In a 2026 Houzz survey of its US users, 91% of those who renovated in 2025 hired professionals, and general contractors were the construction professionals hired most often, at 29%.
The Federal Trade Commission tells homeowners that some states limit the down payment a contractor may ask for, and to get a written contract that names the contractor's license number even where the state does not require one.
Why general contractor websites lose bigger projects
Homeowners planning an addition, owners fitting out a space and architects picking a builder all check your site before they call. Here is where most builder sites come up short.
A portfolio with no scope
A photo of a finished house says little about what you managed. Upload framing, rough-in and finished shots for each job and publish the ones that tell the story. Keep your own price sheets, drawings and notes private: AI reads them while writing, and they stay off the public site.
Bid requests scattered everywhere
An addition inquiry, a tenant build-out and a drywall sub asking to bid all show up in different places. Whatever comes through your site's forms ends up in a single leads inbox, each request with its history.
Nobody answers during the pour
A request sent while you are on site still reaches you, because an email arrives for each one. The client gets a confirmation back, so they know the request was received.
A site frozen at the last big job
Plenty of builder sites still lead with a project from years ago. Click on the portfolio page to swap in this spring's addition, change the start window on the home page, and add the county you just started building in, all the same evening.
What your contractor website includes
A construction company website has to answer clients, inspectors and lenders at once. Each part below is worded for a builder who runs crews and manages subs.
The general contractor template
No site yet? The general contractor template lists starter services for new construction, additions, renovations, framing and roofing, ready to rewrite for the work you really take on.
A page for each line of work
Build from your current site and AI writes up every line of work it names, from ground-up homes to tenant build-outs, as a separate page (up to 24).
Update the site from the jobsite
With the editor sized for a phone, a new start date or a fresh portfolio photo goes in from the truck at lunch rather than from the office after dark.
Site walks on your calendar
Clients ask for a walkthrough and you set the date. Flag the request as scheduled and the site walk is added to the Google Calendar you connected.
Reviews from closed-out jobs
Owners often check what past clients wrote on your Google listing, so bring those reviews in, and at closeout send the owner a review request as an email or a link.
Search data for what you build
Search engines get a sitemap of your site and structured data covering your firm, the work you take on and the questions clients ask.
A call button for owners ready to talk
Put your number on file and phone visitors who scroll into your project pages see a call button settle along the foot of their screen, so an owner standing on an empty lot can reach you.
The domain on your trucks
Run the site on the domain already painted on your trucks, signs and bid forms, secured with HTTPS.
General contractor website design, built around the work you do
Choose the general contractor template and the pages and services below are its suggested starting point, ready for your job photos and scope notes. Choose your current site instead, and the plan follows the work that site already names.
From your current website
AI reads your site and writes one page for each service it finds, up to 24.
Reading your site changes nothing on it.
From the template for your trade
The template suggests Home, Portfolio and Contact pages. You see and edit the real page plan before the pages are built.
These services come pre-checked in your setup, ready for your own words:
- New Construction
- Remodeling
- Home Additions
- Renovations
- Roofing
- Framing
How it works
Start your way
Paste your current website and AI reads your services, service areas and contact details.
Or start from the template made for your trade.
Check the plan
See every page AI plans to build. Take out any you do not need before the rest is built.
Approve the build
Nothing is public until you approve the build. Then AI writes the rest of your pages.
Edit and add a domain
Change any word or picture by clicking on it, and connect your own domain when you are ready.
For example: We are a licensed general contractor. We build additions, a few custom homes a year and small commercial build-outs. Our own crew frames and does finish carpentry; we sub out electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing. We pull permits, schedule inspections and bid fixed price or cost-plus. Local architects send us a lot of our work.
What it costs
- Plans from $29 a month
- There is a free plan
- 14-day free trial on paid plans
Building your site with AI uses AI credits, and each plan shows what it includes.

| A page for each service | From your current site, one page per service it finds, up to 24 | Often priced per page | If you build each one yourself |
| Requests from your site | One leads inbox, and an email for each new lead | Often a form that emails you | Depends on the add-ons you choose |
| Changing a page | Click on it and edit | Send a request and wait for it | Edit it yourself |
| The price | Listed on the pricing page | Usually quoted per project | Shown on the builder's pricing page |
| Search basics | A sitemap and search data for your business, added for you | Depends on the package | Some built in, the rest is up to you |
What every general contractor website needs
Advice we would give any builder, on our platform or not. Bigger clients vet a general contractor before the first meeting, and these are the answers they look for.
Project pages with real scope
For each job, give the type, the size, what your crews self-performed and what you subcontracted, with progress shots as well as the finished front. Owners and architects choose builders by comparable work, and scope is what they compare.
License and insurance, spelled out
Where your state or city licenses general contractors, list your license number and classification, and if you carry insurance, say how a client requests a certificate of insurance; commercial owners and lenders ask for one before a contract is signed. Check your state's advertising rules too. California, for example, requires a licensed contractor's number on all advertising, websites included, and does not let licensed contractors say in an ad that they are bonded.
How you bid
Say whether you bid fixed price, cost-plus or both, what your estimate includes and how allowances work. A client comparing several bids needs to know they are comparing the same scope.
Change orders, draws and lien waivers
Explain that change orders are priced and signed before the scope moves and that payments follow a draw schedule tied to progress. If you provide lien waivers as you are paid, say so. Clear money terms up front prevent the hardest conversations later.
Permits and inspections, handled
If you pull permits and schedule inspections, from footings to final, say so. Owners worry about unpermitted work, and so do their lenders and insurers.
A page for subs, suppliers and new hires
Name the trades you hire, how a subcontractor gets on your bid list and what you require, such as a license and proof of insurance. Add your open positions too. Good subs and carpenters are hard to find, and the site can work on that while you build.
Safety and jobsite standards
If you run a safety program, describe it, along with crew training and how you keep a site clean and the neighbors informed. Commercial prequalification asks about safety records such as your EMR, so have the answer ready.
Start dates and the building season
In cold-climate markets, winter is when owners plan and permit their spring starts. Use those months to invite plans and bid requests, and say when your next start window opens.
Questions general contractors ask
What does general contractor website design cost with AI Centery?
Plan prices live on our pricing page. The AI build is paid in AI credits, as is any AI redesign of a section later. AI writes the pages, and you handle later edits yourself, straight on the page.
I have an old site. Do I have to start over?
No. Point AI at the old site and it reads what is already there, the work you do, where you build and how to reach the office, then plans a fresh site. AI gives each line of work it finds a page, up to 24. Nothing changes on the old site, and it keeps serving visitors until you aim your domain at the new one.
Is AI Centery a website builder for contractors or project management software?
A website builder. AI Centery builds and hosts your website and gathers the requests it brings in. Estimating, crew schedules and paying subs stay in the tools you already use.
Can the person who answers our bid requests work in Spanish?
Yes. Set the dashboard, and the alert emails it sends, to Spanish; Arabic and English are the other choices. Whoever handles bids then works in a dashboard they read easily, and the requests still collect in one leads inbox.
Should residential and commercial work have separate pages?
Usually, yes. A homeowner planning an addition wants your process, your warranty and how you protect the house; a property manager fitting out a suite wants schedule, safety record, insurance certificates and references. When you build step by step, the page plan has Add a page, so commercial work can get its own page there; or add one from your list of pages once the site is built.
What credentials do owners expect a general contractor website to show?
Your license number and classification, exactly as issued, where your state or city licenses builders, and your insurance if you carry it, with a way to request a certificate. Treat bonding differently and read your state's advertising rules first: in California, for one, a licensed contractor may not advertise being bonded. Add any of it to a page by clicking where it belongs.
Will a better website win me commercial bids?
No website wins a bid by itself, and we will not promise one will. What a good site does is answer an owner's first questions, show comparable projects and make your license and insurance easy to check before the walkthrough.
Should project pages show size and cost?
Show size, type and schedule on every project, since that is what owners compare. Show cost only as a range, and only with the client's permission. If you held the schedule you set at bid, a line saying so tells an owner more than a gallery of finished fronts.
How do I show work when clients do not want their homes online?
Ask before you post, and get the yes in writing. Leave out house numbers and street views, lead with interiors and framing shots, and describe the project by town and scope instead of by address. Homeowners who see you protect a past client's privacy expect the same for their own house.
What do architects look for on a builder's website?
Projects like theirs, built from someone else's drawings, and signs that you read plans closely: how you price from a set, flag gaps before bid day and handle questions during the build. Name the architects you have worked with only if they agree, and show how you handle preconstruction.
How should my site handle requests for jobs too small for us?
Say plainly what you take on, such as additions, new homes and build-outs, and the kind of work you refer out. A clear line saves your estimator a drive to a bathroom fan replacement, and the homeowner gets a quick no instead of silence.
