We put your practice in front of homeowners and builders planning to build.
A network of trusted industry partners
Choose your side of the build and the page re-tunes: your questions, your numbers, your next step.
Every week, homeowners and builders ask us the same question: do you know a good building designer? We’d rather answer with practices we actually know.
The old way
With BuilderHQ
Everything the network does for your practice. And the one thing it never does: charge you.
Your work, in front of ready clients.
We feature your practice and share your projects across our channels, tagged and credited, so homeowners planning a build discover you.

Melbourne · residential + heritage
Warm referrals, never cold leads.
When a homeowner asks us for a building designer, we introduce one who fits: right style, right area, right stage. A real introduction, never a resold lead.

“Hi Sarah, we’d love to feature Studio North in the network we point homeowners to.”
A referral network only works if practices can trust it. So the rules are written in your favour.
Whenever we feature a project, your practice is credited and tagged. Your drawings and photos stay yours, and nothing is published without your approval.
We only put your practice forward when a project genuinely fits: right type, right area, right budget. A recommendation from us has to mean something, or it means nothing.
No fees, no contracts, no exclusivity, at any point. If the network ever stops earning its place in your week, one email ends it. No notice period, no hard feelings.
We grow when good building designers look good. That’s the whole model.
There’s no open directory to buy into. Register your interest or catch our eye with active, well documented residential work, and we pick up the phone. Nothing is shared until you’ve agreed exactly what we publish and how it’s credited.
Built in Melbourne, for Australia.

“The referrals actually match what we do, so I’m not fielding enquiries for work we’d never take. And they credit us every time, which matters more than people realise.”
