A highly targeted database

This database does not attempt to list every building firm in Australia. The vast majority are too small to be useful for marketing purposes. We only list firms that do new residential or new commercial work – not renovations and extensions. Residential builders have to build a minimum of 5 new homes per year in metro areas or 3 new homes per year in rural areas.

Builders info

Customers ask how we obtain our information about building firms and there are several answers to this. Firstly, we have been collecting contact data on builders for some 6 years so we have gradually built the size of the database as more builders start up in business. Secondly, there’s data mining. There are lots of sites on the Internet that provide some (usually limited) lists of builders for various purposes. If we find the name of firm of builders that we don’t have already on our database, then we phone them.

Our golden rule is – we never list a firm that we have not contacted ourselves.

Even many corporate websites are often out of date so phoning the company is the only way to make sure we get up-to-date information.

We also check out awards lists and read industry publications to pick up names of new firms. It’s an ongoing process but the main push comes over late October to end December when our team of researchers get on the phone to contact every building firm listed in the Directory.

Here's a sample of some the CD database. All CDs are in Excel format.
