3. What PrefabHub is and what it is not
3.1 We are an introduction service
PrefabHub is an information and introduction service. Our sole function is to collect your project details and pass them to Builders who may be able to help you, so that those Builders can contact you.
3.2 What we are not
PrefabHub is not:
- a builder, building contractor, manufacturer, supplier or installer
- a registered or licensed building practitioner, architect, engineer, draftsperson, surveyor or building certifier
- a real estate agent, conveyancer or town planner
- a credit provider, credit assistance provider, mortgage broker, finance broker or holder of an Australian Credit Licence
- an insurance broker or holder of an Australian Financial Services Licence
- an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer or representative of any Builder
- a party to any contract you enter into with a Builder
3.3 We do not provide advice
Nothing on the Platform, and nothing we say to you, is:
- building, construction, structural or engineering advice
- planning, permit, zoning or regulatory advice
- financial, credit, mortgage, taxation, insurance or investment advice
- legal advice
Any information on the Platform about prices, timeframes, products, regulations, standards, financing or approvals is general information only. It does not take account of your objectives, situation or needs. You must obtain your own independent professional advice before making any decision.
3.4 We are not involved in your dealings with a Builder
If you engage a Builder, you contract directly with that Builder. PrefabHub:
- is not a party to that contract
- does not negotiate, review, approve, guarantee, supervise or perform any part of it
- has no role in pricing, scope, quality, workmanship, timeframes, warranties, defects, insurance, deposits, progress payments or completion
- has no authority to accept money on a Builder's behalf, and will never ask you to pay a Builder through us
4. Eligibility
To use the Platform you must be at least 18 years old, located in Australia, and legally able to form a binding contract. If you use the Platform on behalf of a business or another person, you warrant you have authority to bind them.
5. Submitting an Enquiry
5.1 What happens when you submit
When you submit an Enquiry:
- We collect the details you provide (see our Privacy Policy).
- We match your Enquiry against Builders based on factors such as location, project type, budget and timeframe.
- We disclose your name, contact details and project details to one or more Builders.
- Those Builders may contact you directly.
5.2 Your consent
By submitting an Enquiry, you expressly consent to:
- us disclosing your personal information to Builders for the purpose of them contacting you; and
- those Builders contacting you by telephone, SMS and email about your Enquiry.
This consent is given for the purposes of the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth) and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and applies even if your telephone number is listed on the Do Not Call Register.
You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us or the relevant Builder. Withdrawal operates from the time we receive it — we cannot recall information already disclosed.
5.3 Your responsibilities
You must:
- provide accurate, current and complete information
- only submit your own details, or details you are authorised to submit
- not submit an Enquiry unless you have a genuine interest in the project described
5.4 We do not guarantee an Introduction
We do not guarantee that any Builder will be matched to your Enquiry, will contact you, will be available in your area, will quote, or will offer terms acceptable to you.
6. About Builders
6.1 Verification
We take reasonable steps to check that Builders hold relevant licences and registrations at the time of onboarding. However, we do not continuously monitor Builders, and we make no representation, warranty or guarantee about any Builder’s:
- current licensing, registration or accreditation status
- solvency or financial standing
- insurance cover, including home warranty or domestic building insurance
- skill, quality of workmanship, conduct, reliability or timeliness
- compliance with the National Construction Code, Australian Standards, or any planning or building approval
- pricing, quotes or estimates
6.2 Do your own checks
Before engaging any Builder, you should independently:
- verify their builder registration or licence with the relevant State or Territory regulator (for example the VBA in Victoria, NSW Fair Trading, or the QBCC in Queensland)
- confirm the required insurance is in place
- obtain and compare multiple written quotes
- have any building contract reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing
- check company details and directorships on ASIC's registers
6.3 Rankings and placement
Where Builders are listed, ranked, featured or ordered on the Platform, that order may be influenced by commercial arrangements, including advertising and subscription fees. It is not a ranking of quality, suitability or value. Where placement is paid, we will identify it as such.
7. Fees and commercial arrangements
7.1 Free for Buyers
The Platform is free for Buyers. We do not charge you to submit an Enquiry or to be introduced to a Builder.
7.2 How we are paid
We are paid by Builders. Depending on the arrangement, this may be a subscription fee, a per-enquiry (per-lead) fee, an advertising fee, or a commission on a project that proceeds.
We disclose this so you understand our commercial interest. It does not change the price you pay a Builder.
7.3 Builder terms
Builders’ commercial terms are set out in a separate agreement between PrefabHub and each Builder if applicable.
8. Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in breach of any law

You warrant you have the right to grant that licence.
10. Third-party links and content

11. Availability

12. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, warranty or remedy you have under the ACL or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
If you are a consumer under the ACL, our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded — including that services will be provided with due care and skill, will be fit for any purpose you made known to us, and will be supplied within a reasonable time.

13.2 We are not liable for Builders

- any contract you enter into with a Builder, or any failure to enter into one
- any building work, product, quote, price, estimate, timeframe or approval
- any dispute between you and a Builder
14. Indemnity
You indemnify us against loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal costs) that we suffer arising directly from:
- your breach of these Terms;
- your unlawful use of the Platform; or
- any false or misleading information you submit.
This indemnity does not apply to the extent the loss was caused or contributed to by our own act, omission, negligence or breach.
15. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Platform at any time and ask us to close any account and cease processing your Enquiry.
We may suspend or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or used the Platform unlawfully. Except where immediate action is needed to prevent harm or comply with the law, we will give you notice and a reasonable opportunity to remedy the breach.
