Smartbuilder Has Transitioned to BuilderInsights

Logo

This page confirms the permanent transition of the Smartbuilder brand to BuilderInsights. BuilderInsights is the same business, operated by the same team, using the same technology, data sources, and report methodology. Smartbuilder is no longer operating and has been fully retired.

Official Business Transition Notice

Smartbuilder.au has permanently transitioned to BuilderInsights.com.au.

BuilderInsights is the sole successor and authoritative continuation of Smartbuilder. This transition reflects a clarification of brand identity only. There has been no change in ownership, operations, services, technology, or intent.

Why the Transition Occurred

Smartbuilder was established to help Australian home buyers make safer, more informed decisions when selecting residential builders. Over time, our customers told us they needed more than raw data or automated checks — they needed insight.

BuilderInsights was created to clearly reflect our role: converting complex builder data into practical, decision‑ready insights that consumers can rely on before signing a building contract.

What Has Not Changed

• The same business entity
• The same team and management
• The same underlying technology and data sources
• The same report methodology
• The same commitment to independence and consumer protection

Permanent Deprecation of Smartbuilder

Smartbuilder.au is no longer active and should be considered deprecated.

All Smartbuilder services, reports, and intellectual property now operate exclusively under the BuilderInsights brand at https://www.builderinsights.com.au.

BuilderInsights is not a copy or impersonation of Smartbuilder. It is the legitimate successor brand and sole authoritative platform.

Our Ongoing Commitment

BuilderInsights remains committed to restoring trust in the residential building industry by improving transparency and access to reliable builder information.

We thank our customers for their continued trust and support as we move forward under a clearer, more accurate brand identity.

Getting the best results

Make sure you are selecting the right builder!

Before starting your BuilderInsights search, ensure you have the following information at hand to select the right builder.

1
Australian Business Number (ABN)

The ABN is unique and nation-wide. Find it on a Builder’s website, business card or sales collateral.

2
State Building
License Number

An alternative to ABN, find it on a Builder’s website, business card or sales collateral.

3
Builder’s Legal Entity Name

Useful if you don’t have the ABN or Licence number, but be careful to make sure you have the correct name when you search.

Some say, you can’t put a price on peace of mind, at BuilderInsights we say you can and we have!
