Written by StudioNope | May 6, 2026 10:21:07 PM

Meridian Build is a HubSpot CMS theme for general contractors, design-build firms, and engineering studios. Warm sand backgrounds, brown accent cards, editorial sans-serif typography, scroll-driven motion. 30 modules and a full page-template set built specifically for the way construction firms present their work.

It is available on the HubSpot Marketplace for $199.99 as a one-time purchase. Live demo at nopethemes.com/meridian-build.

What is in the theme

Every page type a project-driven firm needs on its website is included as a populated, ready-to-customize template. Swap demo content for your real projects, photos, and copy.

17 page templates: Home, Company, Solutions, Expertise, Responsibility, Careers, Contact, Locations, Resources, News, Project (case study), Gallery, three sector landings (Aviation, Commercial, Sport & Leisure), Documentation, Blog Listing, and Blog Post.

2 landing pages: Consultation booking (headerless and footerless, optimized for conversion) and a gated Cost Trends report download.

7 system templates: 404, 500, password prompt, search results, subscription preferences, subscriptions confirmation, backup unsubscribe.

30 modules: heroes, sector cards, project showcase grids, before-and-after sliders, stats counters, testimonials, pillars, services lists, FAQ, blog cards, contact forms, office locations, job listings, plus a full blog stack and a documentation system. Every section on the demo site is a drag-and-drop module.

The construction-specific modules

A few of the modules worth highlighting for a construction firm.

Sector Cards

A header dark card with kicker, headline, body, image, and CTA, plus alternating item rows below for each sector you serve. Drop your aviation, commercial real estate, sport-and-leisure, healthcare, education, and infrastructure work into a single navigable section on the homepage. The three sector landing templates pick up the same item structure for full sector deep-dive pages.

Project Showcase

The Latest Projects module renders your portfolio as a full-bleed bento grid with project name, location, hero image, and case-study link. Numbered project cards with a top-left counter. Dark gradient overlay so titles stay legible over varied photography.

Before / After Slider

Drag-to-compare image slider for renovation projects, infrastructure rebuilds, and site transformations. Five aspect ratio presets, configurable divider and handle, custom labels, full touch support.

Stats Counter

Animated counters with editable prefixes and suffixes. Years on the tools, projects delivered, TRIR safety record, local-hire share, square footage shipped. Sub-labels add the credibility detail recruiters and procurement teams look for. The defaults that ship with Meridian Build read like an actual general contractor introduction (1,400+ projects, 0.41 TRIR, 94% local-hire share, 30 years on the tools).

Office Locations

Multi-region office directory with city, country, address, phone, and direct contact. Dedicated Locations page template plus a homepage Office Locations module. Drop a regional headquarters in five minutes.

Job Listings

Native careers page with category-grouped job listings, side-drawer detail modals, and deep-linkable URLs. Field crews, project managers, BIM coordinators, safety officers — every role on your hiring plan in one searchable place.

How the theme settings work

Every visual decision in Meridian Build flows from theme settings.

  • Eight color tokens cover background, surfaces, text, borders, overlays, and the brown accent
  • Two font pickers (display and body, both sans-serif by default)
  • Layout width, page gutter, and card padding control editorial breathing room
  • Default border radius preset (square, subtle, rounded, soft, generous, custom) sets the shape language for the entire theme in one click
  • CTA shape, hero overlay, and animation toggle are all editable
  • Header and footer modes (default, HubSpot menu, drag-and-drop) let you wire navigation the way your team works

Brand alignment is fifteen minutes of work in HubSpot, not a developer ticket. Change a value once and it updates every page, every module, every state.

Scroll animations

Motion that holds up. IntersectionObserver drives every reveal so HubSpot drag-and-drop modules do not break triggers when content is added or rearranged. Scroll-driven CSS variables morph the header from full-bleed to a floating pill. Word-split headings, count-up stats, parallax hero. Respects prefers-reduced-motion, toggleable in theme settings.

Who Meridian Build is for

  • General contractors and design-build firms. Project case studies, sector landings, locations, careers, blog. A complete marketing site without custom development.
  • Civil and structural engineering studios. Editorial typography signals technical depth. Documentation system handles whitepapers, methodologies, and standards. Resources page for downloadable reports.
  • Architecture and AE practices. Portfolio-first homepage with the Project Showcase grid as the primary conversion surface. Gallery page for image-led storytelling.
  • Infrastructure and specialty trade contractors. Three sector landing templates wired up out of the box. Fork them for healthcare, education, energy, transit, or industrial. Stats counters for safety records, local-hire share, and projects delivered.
  • MEP and trade subcontractors with multi-sector work. Sector cards group your work by client industry. Job listings handle constant trade hiring.

Setup and HubSpot tier

Meridian Build runs on Content Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise. Free CRM accounts without CMS access cannot use custom themes (HubSpot platform limitation, not theme-specific). Setup is the standard HubSpot flow: install from the marketplace, switch your active theme, swap demo content for your real projects, photos, copy, and locations.

The full demo at nopethemes.com/meridian-build has every page template wired up, so you can see every module live and read the documentation before purchasing.
