For builders
Work from homeowners who already know what they want
We do not sell leads. We match homeowners with the verified builder best suited to their brief who services their area and builds their type — and you pay nothing unless they sign with you.
- No up-front cost
- No lead auction
- Matched, not sprayed
- No up-front cost
No membership, no per-lead charge, no minimum spend. A success fee only when a homeowner signs a contract with you.
- No lead auction
We recommend one builder per brief, not six. We do not resell an enquiry and we do not sell enquiry data to anyone.
- Matched, not sprayed
We match on build type, service area and site conditions. You will not get a BAL-40 sloping block if that is not what you do.
- You can say no
We confirm you want the job before the homeowner's details reach you. Declining costs you nothing and does not affect future matches.
What a brief looks like when it reaches you
Six questions, answered before we contact you, and none of them optional:
- Build type — new home, knockdown rebuild, granny flat, extension or reno, acreage or rural, or taking over an unfinished build
- Suburb or postcode — matched against the areas you told us you service, not a radius drawn on a map
- Budget band — from under $300k to over $1.5m, or "not sure yet", which we pass on as exactly that
- Timeframe — ready now, three to six months, six to twelve, or researching
- Land status — owned and titled, under offer or untitled, still looking, or it is their existing home
- What they are actually after — in their own words
Attached to that is what is mapped at the address: council, planning instrument, residential zones, the overlay families that apply and whether bushfire-prone land is mapped there — read from the state's own planning data, the same information on the suburb pages. So the brief tells you whether it is a BAL assessment and a geotech report before you have spoken to anyone.
Then we ask you before they hear from you. You see the brief, you say yes or no, and only then do their details reach you. A no costs nothing and does not affect what we send you next.
Why we can match rather than spray
Because we did the area work before we did the builder work. 325 suburbs across 7 states are mapped to their council, their planning instrument and the constraints mapped in them, under 136 councils — every one read from the state's own data and dated.
That is what "services the area" means here. It is not a postcode list a builder typed in once: if a homeowner in a suburb we have mapped asks for a knockdown rebuild under a heritage overlay, we know that before we decide who to send it to. It is also why we can tell a homeowner honestly that we have nobody for them yet, rather than sending them whoever paid most recently.
How this differs from a lead site
| Pay-per-lead platform | Better Builds | |
|---|---|---|
| When you pay | On receipt of the contact, whether or not it converts | Only when a homeowner signs a contract with you |
| How many builders get it | Typically several, competing on speed of callback | One. We recommend a single builder per brief |
| Whether you can decline | Usually after you have already paid for it | Before the homeowner's details reach you, at no cost |
| What is checked first | Varies; often an ABN and a licence number self-supplied | Licence with the regulator, insurance sighted, solvency re-checked, service area confirmed |
| Paying for placement | Common — featured listings, priority delivery, ad spend | Not available. One rate, no premium tier, nothing to buy |
| Enquiry data | An asset of the platform | Goes to the matched builder and nobody else. Never sold |
The left column describes the pay-per-lead model generally, not any particular platform's current terms — those change, and we are not going to state figures for a competitor we have not verified. Compare it against whatever you are paying for leads now.
What verification requires
We check these before you are listed, and re-check on a schedule. It is the whole product, so it is not negotiable.
- Registered entity name and ABN
- Builder licence number and the regulator that issued it
- Licence class appropriate to the work
- Current public liability insurance
- Home warranty or indemnity cover as your state requires
- The areas you actually service
- Build types you take on, and your typical price band
How to join
Builder questions
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. We charge a success fee only when a homeowner signs a contract with you — the same rate for every builder in the network, payable only once you sign. If they do not sign, you pay nothing.
Do you sell the same enquiry to six builders?
No. A homeowner is matched with the one builder best suited to their brief — someone we have already confirmed services that area and builds that type. There is no auction and no bulk resale.
What do I have to provide to be verified?
Your registered entity and ABN, your builder licence number and the regulator that issued it, evidence of public liability and the warranty or indemnity cover your state requires, and the areas you actually service.
Can I pay for better placement?
No. There is no premium tier and no featured placement. The rate is the same for every builder in the network, so there is nothing to buy.
What happens if my licence lapses?
You come off the network until it is current again. We re-check on a schedule, and the date of the last check is published on your profile.
