Every builder on Franek is licence-confirmed, insurance-verified, and holds an exclusive territory. Enter your suburb — Franek will confirm coverage and connect you.
Free to enquire. No obligation. Your matched builder will be in touch within 24 hours.
Four things are verified before any builder appears on Franek. All four must pass. There is no partial listing.
See the full vetting process →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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

| 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. |
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.
Settled, under contract, or a specific block identified. Franek does not introduce homeowners who are still searching for land.
Pre-approval in place or funds confirmed. Franek does not make introductions to homeowners still waiting on a bank decision.
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.

Franek works differently. Not faster — better. One introduction to one verified builder in your area.
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.
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.
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.
One introduction
Franek connects you directly with your builder. One conversation. No auction. No competing quotes from strangers.
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.
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.
Franek is available Australia-wide. Enter your postcode to confirm coverage in your area.
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.
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.
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.
