About Us
Australia's construction intelligence platform
Design Build Source is a data-first platform for homeowners planning a build or renovation, and the professionals who serve them. We track development applications, suburb intelligence, and connect homeowners with verified architects, builders and designers — no middleman.
Our Mission
Residential construction is the largest financial commitment most Australians will ever make — yet the information landscape is fragmented, opaque, and dominated by lead-generation middlemen who profit from the gap between homeowners and professionals.
We're fixing that. DBS aggregates DA pipeline data, material prices, suburb intelligence, and verified professional profiles into one authoritative platform — so you can build with confidence.
