The site is genuinely free for you.
No charge to use the form, no charge to receive quotes, 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, what it costs inspectors, and why it does not affect what you pay. 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. Inspectors in the network pay us a small referral fee when they accept a lead. The fee is an industry-standard cost of doing business that is already in their cost base, so the price they quote you is the same as if you had found them directly.
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.
The referral fee in our model typically sits between $25 and $60 per accepted lead, depending on inspection type and suburb. That is well within the standard cost of acquiring a new customer in the inspection industry. Many inspectors find that leads through our network cost less than running their own Google Ads, which is one reason they sign up.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR QUOTE
Three things follow from the model.
The price you're quoted is the same as if you'd found the inspector directly.
The referral fee is already in the inspector's cost base; no markup is added because you came through us.
Inspectors don't pay to be listed.
The fee is per accepted lead, not per listing. That means inspectors compete on speed of response, quality of quote, and quality of service, not on who paid for visibility.
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 vet inspectors 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.
The integrity stance applies to every lead. Every inspector in the network is treated equally; the lead goes to whoever 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.
INSPECTOR VETTING
What we require of every inspector in the network.
Inspectors who join the network agree to a basic standard of service: a current SA Building Work Contractors Licence, current public liability and professional indemnity insurance, AS 4349.1 compliant reporting (and AS 4349.3 where applicable), responsive quoting within one business day, and respectful handling of consent.
If inspectors do not meet those standards (slow response, poor reporting, unprofessional conduct reported by homeowners), they are removed from the network.
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.
