.construction Domains: An Ending for Building Firms
.construction entered the root zone on 8 November 2013, and the IANA record names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation. That date places it in the first delegation wave of the new generation of domain names and makes it the oldest record in this group. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 11,634 names in the zone, of which 9,415 appear in the zone file.
In building work the domain is often the first reference check: when a client or investor looks the firm up, the page they land on has to show completed projects and the team behind them. The rule follows. Put the firm's name in the root and give your speciality on the page, because firms move between housing, infrastructure and industrial work more often than not. Try candidates with a domain name search.
Building work is tied to a contractor's licence, a trade register entry or chamber membership in most countries, while no such verification is defined on the registry side. Registering this ending gives you no qualification. If you are hiring a contractor, confirm the licence number and register entry with the relevant public authority; if you provide the service, publish those details openly on the page.

.construction Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .construction domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .construction address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .construction domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $6.73 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .construction returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .construction Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Not for registration; no qualification check is defined on the registry side.
Building work, however, depends on a licence and register entry in most countries, and that obligation follows from what you do rather than from the address. The ending is no mark of qualification. Check the state of a name with a domain name search.
-
Yes — its root zone record dates from 8 November 2013, the first delegation wave.
According to the IANA record that puts it a generation ahead of many endings arriving from 2014 onwards. In practice it means a share of good firm names has been in use for a long time. Even so, a zone of 11,634 registrations is not tight, and combinations with a firm name stay open.
-
Completed projects, the team, licence details and contact information.
Give the location, year and scale of reference projects concretely; insurance cover and your approach to site safety also signal that you take the work seriously. A page with a tender form needs an encrypted connection — choose a certificate on the SSL certificate page.
-
One names the work; the other names those who carry it out.
.construction points at the activity itself, the process of building, which is direct for a main contractor. .contractors sits closer to subcontractors and specialist teams taking on a defined package. Running both, one as the corporate site and one as a partner page, is perfectly workable.
-
You begin by requesting the authorisation code from your current registrar.
In building firms the domain has often been registered in the name of an agency or a former employee, so confirm through whois search that the record really belongs to the company before moving it. The lock has to be open and sixty days must have passed since registration. Then continue on the domain transfer page.
-
Most likely yes — at 11,634 registrations the zone counts as small.
That figure comes from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026, with 9,415 names published. Combinations of a firm name with a city remain widely open. If the address will be long, test that it survives being read aloud before you shorten it.
