All four must pass. There is no partial listing. [See the full vetting process →](https://www.franek.com.au/how-we-vet?hsLang=en-au) - 1 Builder's licence — verified, not self-reported Franek checks the relevant state authority register directly — VBA in Victoria, QBCC in Queensland, NSW Fair Trading in New South Wales, and equivalent bodies in other states. The licence number is displayed on every builder profile so you can verify it yourself. If it lapses, the builder is removed the same day. - 2 Home building insurance — confirmed with the insurer Home building insurance is mandatory for residential projects above the threshold in every state — called Domestic Building Insurance in Victoria, Home Building Compensation in NSW, and Home Warranty Insurance elsewhere. Franek confirms the policy is current and names the insurer on the builder's profile. Most directories do not check. Most do not even ask. - 3 Track record — reviewed, not just rated Franek contacts previous clients. Reviews completed projects. Flags active complaints with the relevant state authority. This is not a star rating from anonymous reviews. It is a verified record. - 4 Financial stability — assessed before listing Builder insolvency is the number one fear for homeowners. Franek reviews financial indicators before any builder joins the network. A builder who is overcommitted or financially stressed does not appear on Franek. Franek vs the usual way ## One introduction. Not a bidding war. Most platforms send your details to three, four, five builders at once. That sounds like choice. In practice, it means five phone calls in 48 hours, five numbers pulled from thin air to win the job, and no way to tell which builder is actually right for your project. | | The usual way | Franek | | --- | --- | --- | | Your details go to | 3–5 builders simultaneously | One builder — yours, exclusively | | Builder vetting | None. Self-reported profiles. | Licence + insurance + references. Independently confirmed. | | Who pays the platform | You pay per lead (or via hidden fees) | The builder pays. Franek is free for homeowners. | | Lead quality | Anyone who fills in a form | Finance in place, land confirmed, timeline within 6 months | | Your experience | Five calls from strangers in 48 hours | One introduction. One conversation. | | What happens if it's wrong | Start over. Repeat. | Franek reviews the situation. Connects you with a verified builder in a nearby postcode where possible. | Your details go to Usual: 3–5 builders simultaneously Franek: One builder — yours, exclusively Vetting Usual: None. Self-reported. Franek: Licence + insurance + references. Independently confirmed. Who pays Usual: You do Franek: The builder pays. Free for homeowners. The Franek standard ## Before any introduction, Franek confirms you are ready. Franek asks about your land, finance, budget, and timeline before making any introduction. Not to be difficult — to make sure the conversation with your builder is a genuine one. Land status Settled, under contract, or a specific block identified. Franek does not introduce homeowners who are still searching for land. Finance Pre-approval in place or funds confirmed. Franek does not make introductions to homeowners still waiting on a bank decision. Timeline Planning to build within six months. Not browsing. Not comparing options for 18 months. Ready to have a serious conversation now. This is why every builder on Franek treats the introduction seriously. They know the homeowner has been through the gate — land confirmed, money in place, timeline real. And it is why Franek can be free for homeowners. Builders pay because the leads are worth paying for. [Tell Franek about your project](https://www.franek.com.au/find-a-builder#lodge-enquiry) Free for homeowners. No obligation. The process ## From suburb to builder in five steps Franek works differently. Not faster — better. One introduction to one verified builder in your area. 1 Enter your suburb Franek confirms whether a verified builder covers your area. If the area is covered, Franek has already confirmed their licence, insurance, and track record. 2 Tell Franek about your project Land, finance, budget, and timeline. Franek confirms your enquiry is ready before making any introduction. This is free — and it is what makes every builder on Franek treat the conversation seriously. 3 Franek confirms your builder Before the introduction, Franek tells you exactly what they've independently confirmed: licence current, insurance in place, track record reviewed. You're not browsing a directory — Franek has done the work. 4 One introduction Franek connects you directly with your builder. One conversation. No auction. No competing quotes from strangers. 5 Build with confidence Your builder knows your suburb, has capacity for your project, and has been independently verified. The rest is between you and them. Before you lodge your project ## Questions homeowners ask Do I have to pay to use Franek? No. Franek is completely free for homeowners — no deposit, no service fee, no obligation. Builders pay a monthly subscription to hold their territory on Franek. That is how the model works: builders pay for qualified, exclusive leads, and homeowners get a verified builder without having to search, compare, or compete. What if there's no builder in my postcode yet? Franek is available Australia-wide. Enter your postcode to confirm coverage in your area. How long does the matching process take? If a verified builder is operating in your postcode and has capacity, Franek can make the introduction within 48 hours of receiving your enquiry. If the builder is at capacity, Franek will let you know and offer a verified alternative in a nearby postcode where possible. Do I have to accept the builder Franek recommends? No. The introduction is a recommendation, not a contract. If the fit is not right, say so. Franek would rather you wait for the right match than proceed with the wrong one. Will I get a fixed-price quote? Franek's builders do not produce fixed-price quotes on limited information — that is how bad numbers get made. After the introduction, your builder will either conduct a paid scope engagement to understand your project properly before pricing, or work on a cost-plus basis where you see every cost and the margin is agreed upfront. Either way, you know what you are paying for and why. Franek One postcode. One builder. One standard.
