Websites for Adelaide home builders and renovators, made by a web design team on Hutt St in the city. Your licence number where clients look for it, finished jobs sorted by area from the beachside suburbs to the Hills, and a quote form that accepts drawings.
An Adelaide client might own a stone-fronted villa in Unley, a 1970s brick house in Tea Tree Gully or a vacant block on a new estate. Whichever it is, they want proof you've worked on houses like theirs, a licence they can check in a minute, and some sign you understand the approvals and insurance before they hand over plans.
A careful client checks a builder's licence on the CBS public register. We show yours with the exact licensed name, plus the registered business name if you trade under one, and link to the register so the client can confirm it's current. Bright Building's, for example, sits at the top of every page: BLD 45463.
South Australia raised its building indemnity insurance threshold on 10 November 2025, so a site or FAQ written before then may still quote the old figure. We keep the wording plain and link to official guidance rather than restating every detail, so the next change is one edit.
If you renovate or extend character houses, give those jobs their own place: a villa with a rear living extension, or a bungalow with a reworked floor plan. If you often work under the Planning and Design Code's Historic Area or Character Area overlays, say so.
Someone in Brighton looks for beachside jobs; someone in Stirling wants to see you've built in the Hills. Grouping projects by area, with the suburb under each set of photos, lets both find relevant work in a few taps on a phone.
Alongside name, suburb and the kind of job, the form can take drawings and photos, ask whether a development application has been lodged through PlanSA, approved or not started, and ask for a budget range and preferred start. You see how ready the client is before you call back.
In South Australia, building work under a contractor's licence has to be overseen by a registered building work supervisor. Naming yours, with a photo and a line on their background, tells a client who'll actually be on site once the contract is signed.
Licensing and advertising. Consumer and Business Services (CBS) licenses building work contractors under the Building Work Contractors Act 1995. SA.GOV.AU's guidance for builders says all signage and advertising for the public must include your name as it appears on the licence, or your registered business name, and your licence number, with every partner's number for a partnership. All building work has to be supervised by a registered building work supervisor: sole traders normally register as one when they apply for the contractor's licence, and companies nominate one. Licences can be checked on the CBS public register, which is where a careful client will go after reading your site.
Building indemnity insurance. Under the Act, domestic building work that needs development approval and costs twenty thousand dollars or more must be covered by building indemnity insurance before work starts. That threshold rose from twelve thousand dollars on 10 November 2025, and the cover protects the owner for defective work, up to a quarter of a million dollars, if the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent. Anything written before that date may still quote the old figure, so if your site mentions insurance, we'd link to the current guidance and keep the line short enough to update in one go.
Planning approvals. Since 19 March 2021, development in South Australia's urban council areas, metropolitan Adelaide included, has been assessed under the state-wide Planning and Design Code, which replaced each council's own development plan, with applications lodged through PlanSA. The Code includes Historic Area and Character Area overlays. A renovation builder who regularly works on houses under those overlays has something specific to tell their owners about planning consent, and it's worth a paragraph of its own.
Dividing up the map. Our builder client, Bright Building & Renovations, splits its area into seven, each with its own page covering the housing found there and what to plan for before work starts: the eastern suburbs (Norwood, Burnside, Magill); Unley, Mitcham and the inner south; the western and beachside suburbs (Henley Beach, Glenelg, West Lakes); the northern suburbs (Prospect, Walkerville, Golden Grove); the southern suburbs (Marion, Hallett Cove, Aberfoyle Park); the Adelaide Hills (Stirling, Mount Barker, Hahndorf); and Victor Harbor and the Fleurieu. A smaller builder can use the same headings on one page and add area pages later.
Working with us. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide. Most projects run by phone and email, which suits builders who spend the day on site, but if you'd rather sit down before you start, that can be arranged.
Both of these are Adelaide businesses. Bright Building is a licensed builder. Simple Engineers designs footings, slabs and retaining walls for homeowners and builders, and its form accepts the same kind of files a builder's quote form needs.
A licensed renovation builder covering metropolitan Adelaide, the Hills and the Fleurieu through to Victor Harbor. Its 30-page site has seven area pages, service pages from bathrooms to knockdown-rebuilds, and planning guides, including one on approvals, licences and insurance in SA. The home page shows its BLD number and ABN with links to check each on the public register.

Yes. SA.GOV.AU's guidance for builders says all advertising for the public must include your licence number and your name as it appears on the licence, or your registered business name, and CBS has said the Building Work Contractors Act 1995 requires both in building ads. We put both on the site with a link to the CBS licence register. For anything about your own obligations beyond that, CBS is the place to check.
Yes. The threshold changed on 10 November 2025, so it's worth checking any page that mentions it. On a site we host, that's a text change on an existing page and covered by the $30 monthly hosting. On a new site, we'll write the line to match the current rules and link to official guidance, so a future change is one edit.
Only where you have real projects and something specific to say, such as character homes in the inner south or sloping blocks in the Hills. Bright Building has seven area pages because it works from the city to Victor Harbor. A builder covering a few neighbouring suburbs is better served by clear headings on one page.
Yes. The form can accept PDFs and photos, so a client can attach a draftsperson's plans, a decision notice or photos of the existing house. You choose the questions it asks, such as whether a development application has been lodged and what budget range they're working to.
A builder working mostly from referrals can start with the one-page site at $399. The 3-page site at $899 gives projects and your approvals and insurance information their own pages. If you do renovations, extensions and new homes across several parts of Adelaide, the 8-page site at $1,499 leaves room for area pages.
No. Most of our projects run by phone and email, so nothing has to wait until you're off site: you send details and photos, we send a draft link, and you reply with changes when it suits you. If you'd like to meet before starting, call 0451 072 412 and we'll arrange it.
Tell us your licence number, the work you take on and the parts of Adelaide you build in, and send some project photos if they're handy. We'll quote first, and you approve the finished draft before paying anything.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
