The site is free for you.
No charge to use the form, no charge to receive a quote, no premium tier, no "we'll only forward to inspectors if you upgrade".
TRANSPARENCY
How we make money (and why it doesn't change your quote).
Free sites have to be paid for somehow. Here is exactly how the model works. We wrote this page in plain English because the marketplace model is worth explaining honestly.
THE MODEL
In three sentences.
You use the site for free. House Inspection Adelaide is a referral service run by Loudachris Digital Marketing, an Adelaide marketing business. We pass your enquiry to a local business that does the work, and that business may pay us a fee. The inspector sets their own price, and we don't add anything to it.
THE LONGER VERSION
Why lead-matching is a standard part of how trades get customers.
Lead generation is a standard part of how trades and service businesses get customers. Most building inspectors in Adelaide spend money on Google Ads, on directory listings, on local SEO, on van signage, and on referral fees from sites like this one. The cost of acquiring a new customer is something they have already budgeted for. When they quote you a price, that price already includes a contribution toward acquiring you as a customer, whichever path you came through.
A referral fee is one more cost of finding customers, alongside the advertising inspectors already pay for.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR QUOTE
Three things follow from the model.
The inspector sets their own price.
We don't add anything to the inspector's quote.
There's no paid listing.
Inspectors can't pay for a better position on the site. We pass your enquiry to a local inspector who does your type of inspection.
WHAT WE EARN, WHAT WE SPEND ON
The referral fees pay for the cost of running the site.
The referral fees pay for the cost of running the site: domain, hosting, Resend transactional email, GA4 (free tier), the development time it took to build it, and the ongoing time it takes to pass on enquiries and respond to queries. Anything left over is taken as profit by Loudachris Digital Marketing.
We are not VC funded. We are not chasing growth at all costs. The site is a small, honest, slow-and-steady business asset. If it covers its costs and produces a modest profit, that is success.
WHAT WE WILL NOT DO
The lines we don't cross.
These apply to every enquiry. We pass each one to a local inspector who has capacity in your area.
- Sell your details.
- Pass your information to marketing lists.
- Run remarketing pixels or sell ad space to competing services.
- List inspectors who pay extra above other inspectors.
- "Boost" any inspector's chance of getting your lead in exchange for payment.
CHECKING AN INSPECTOR
What to check before you book.
Before you book any inspector, check for a current SA Building Work Contractors Licence, current public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and AS 4349.1 compliant reporting (and AS 4349.3 where applicable).
If you have a concern about an inspector we passed your enquiry to, please let us know.
IF YOU HAVE FEEDBACK
How to flag an inspector.
The simplest way to flag feedback about an inspector is to reply to the email you received from the system when you submitted the form, or use the quote form again and note your feedback in the "anything we should know" box. We read every reply.
