Our story
We've sat on the client's side of the table.
Vision Leads grew out of our property development company. We've been developing property in Australia for over 20 years, and our team brings 8+ years of marketing and sales experience. Working with contractors on our own projects, we kept seeing the same pattern: excellent builders, no sales process.
So we started Vision Leads: a referral partnership that connects homeowners with registered builders and supports our partners so more good enquiries become real jobs. You only pay us when a job goes ahead.

No sign-up fee, no lead fees and no monthly retainer. We only earn a referral fee when a job we refer goes ahead. Terms are agreed in writing with each partner before any work is referred.
We're not a marketing agency and we don't sell leads. Every lead we refer is exclusive to you, never shared with other builders. If a referral doesn't turn into a job, you don't pay a cent.

Our standard
Every partner is registered or licensed for their trade. No exceptions.
We only partner with contractors who hold the registration or licence their trade requires in Victoria, such as Domestic Builder registration or a plumbing licence with the Building and Plumbing Commission (formerly the VBA). We check before anyone joins, so homeowners can trust who turns up, and good contractors aren't competing with unregistered operators.

Who we partner with
Serious contractors who are hungry to grow.
We want to refer jobs to contractors who are serious about growing their business. That means caring about closing jobs at the best rates, while keeping up quality, professionalism and clear communication with homeowners and our team.
Driven to close
You follow up, back your pricing and care about turning good leads into signed jobs at the best rates.
Quality and professionalism
You turn up on time, do the job properly and leave every homeowner proud to recommend you.
Clear communication
You keep homeowners and our team in the loop from inspection to handover, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Limited partners per area
Only 1–2 partners per trade, per location.
We keep our partner list small so we can focus on finding the best-quality leads that suit you. If you only service the northern suburbs, you get northern suburbs leads.
We're not like lead-gen sites that show the same lead to dozens of tradies in the same industry. If we partner with you, your leads are exclusive to you.
Ready for more jobs?
Exclusive leads, no upfront cost and no monthly retainer. We make money when you make money.
Yes. No joining fee, no lead fees and no monthly retainer. We only earn a referral fee when a job we referred goes ahead.
Are leads shared with other builders?
No. Every lead we refer is exclusive to you. We only work with 1–2 partners per trade in each area, and we match leads to the suburbs you actually service. Unlike lead-gen sites, we never show the same lead to a crowd of tradies to compete on price.
How many partners do you work with?
We keep it small: 1–2 partners per trade, per location. If you service the south-east, you get south-east leads. That way we can focus on the best quality leads for you, instead of spreading the same lead across dozens of tradies like lead-gen sites do.
How does the referral fee work?
The referral fee is a percentage of the total job value. The percentage depends on your trade and is set out in your written partnership agreement before we refer any work. You only pay it on jobs that go ahead.
When is the referral fee payable?
You pay the referral fee as the homeowner pays you, starting with their deposit. Each time a payment comes in, your agreed referral fee on that payment is due to us. You never pay us before the homeowner pays you.
Example: a $40,000 job with a 15% referral fee
• Deposit (5%): client pays $2,000 → $300 due
• Stage 1, site preparation: client pays $8,000 → $1,200 due
• Stage 2, retaining walls & structures: client pays $10,000 → $1,500 due
• Stage 3, paving & hard landscaping: client pays $10,000 → $1,500 due
• Final payment at completion: client pays $10,000 → $1,500 due
Total: client pays $40,000 → $6,000 referral fee
Do I deal with the homeowner directly?
Yes, and we work alongside you. We make money when you make money, so this is a mutual growth partnership. We help book the inspection and help with proposals and follow-ups, and you stay in contact with the homeowner and follow up too. Working together gives every referral the best chance of going ahead.
Why do you only work with registered or licensed contractors?
Homeowners need to know their contractor is properly registered or licensed, and it protects partners from being undercut by unregistered operators. Before anyone joins, we check they hold the registration or licence their trade requires with the Building and Plumbing Commission (formerly the VBA).
Which areas do you cover?
All of Melbourne: north, south, east and west, from the inner suburbs to the outer growth areas.
