Industry Issues

What we keep seeing in this sector

Several common patterns turn up in just about every construction or building materials website that we work on.

The decision happens in a drawing set

By the time a project reaches procurement, the material is already named in the spec. If your product data isn’t where the specifier works (dimensions, weights, BIM files, care documents) you were never in the running.

You represent other people’s brands

Lines get added, territories change, manufacturers refresh their identities. A flat list of logos undersells what you actually carry and is out of date within a year (if not sooner).

The proof is on a phone, not the website

Project work sells project work. Most firms in this channel have thousands of site photos and no structure to present them, so the portfolio never becomes a compelling argument.

The site was built as a point of presence

It exists because a website was expected, not because anyone asked it to generate business. No calls to action, no measurable leads, and content that nobody in-house can easily edit.
Featured Project

Willis

The leading distributor of Corian® across North America, selling through commercial and residential interior designers. We rebuilt the site to showcase the materials properly and added a heavily customized WooCommerce system so designers can order colour samples themselves, putting the product in the specifier’s hands without a phone call.

Our Capabilities

What we build for this sector

The work usually splits between presenting what you carry and proving what you have built. What you need depends on whether you supply the material or install it.

Manufacturer and brand directories

Every line you carry as a proper page, with products, territories, and downloadable line cards.

Sample and literature ordering

Let specifiers request physical samples and printed material without having to wade through a chain of emails.

BIM, CAD, and submittal libraries

Technical files organized by product, so that the specifier can find exactly what they are looking for.

Project galleries

Your work sorted by sector, product, or scale. We’ll ensure it is structured so your portfolio tells the right story.

Dealer and installer locators

Searchable by province or postal code, so a buyer reaches the right branch rather than head office.

Training and event booking

Continuing education and lunch and learn scheduling built into the site rather than run off a spreadsheet.

We represent 50+ manufacturers. Can the site handle that?

Yes, and it should. We rebuilt Herkowski Stickler & Associate’s site specifically to present the depth of every line they carry. Each manufacturer becomes a page your team can update as ranges and territories change.

Can designers order samples through the site?

Yes. We built exactly that for Willis, using a heavily customized WooCommerce setup that handles sample ordering without a full retail checkout.

Can we host BIM files, CAD blocks, and spec documents?

Yes, attached to the products they relate to, so a specifier finds them in context rather than in a downloads folder.

We have thousands of project photos and no captions. Where do we start?

With a shortlist. Twenty well-documented projects beat two hundred unlabelled ones. We will help you work out which jobs are worth the write-up.

Our territory covers several provinces. Can the site reflect that?

Yes. Territory pages, region-specific line cards, and locators that route enquiries to the right branch are all standard work here.

What does a project like this cost?

It depends on the size of your product range and whether the build includes sample ordering or a document library. We will give you a real number after a discovery call rather than a range that may not apply to you.
