For Consultants
Lodgepath connects you with builders, architects, and developers who are actively looking for your expertise. Free to list. You control your availability. You only hear from us when there is a genuine project that fits your discipline and location.
Sound familiar?
Your pipeline comes entirely from word of mouth
Referrals are great when they are flowing. But when they dry up there is no reliable way to find new work without spending time you do not have on networking and cold outreach.
You are too busy to market yourself
You did not start your practice to write LinkedIn posts and manage a website. But without visibility, the right clients cannot find you even when they are actively looking.
Enquiries come at the wrong time
When you are at capacity you get flooded. When you have availability nobody knows. There is no simple way to signal to the market that you are open for new work right now.
Simple by design. Built around how consultants actually work.
List your practice for free
Create your profile in minutes. Tell us your discipline, states you cover, specialisations, and your current availability. We review every submission before it goes live.
Set your availability
Toggle your availability at any time — Available now, Within 2 weeks, or Not taking new work. Builders only see consultants who are actually open to new projects. No wasted enquiries.
We send you matched briefs
When a builder or architect submits a project brief that fits your discipline and location, we review it and send it to you directly. You decide whether to take it on. No obligation.
You win the work, we invoice a small referral fee
If the engagement goes ahead, we charge a flat referral fee of $150. No win, no fee. The referral fee is agreed upfront when you list — no surprises.
Free to list, always
There is no monthly fee to have a profile on Lodgepath. You only pay a small flat referral fee when you actually win work through the platform. No upfront cost, no risk.
Qualified enquiries only
Every brief comes from a real builder, architect, or developer with an actual project. We review briefs before passing them on — so you are not wasting time on tyre-kickers or speculative enquiries.
Your contact details stay private
Your email, phone number, and website are never displayed publicly on your profile. All enquiries come through Lodgepath first. You choose which ones to pursue.
You control your availability
Update your status at any time. When you are at capacity, switch to unavailable. When you are ready for new work, switch back on. Builders only see you when you want to be seen.
Verified profiles build trust
Every consultant on Lodgepath is reviewed before their profile goes live. That verification gives builders confidence — and means you are not competing against unqualified operators.
Lodgepath is designed for qualified, experienced consultants in the development approval space.
If your work touches the development approval process in Australia, Lodgepath is built for you. We work with sole practitioners, small practices, and experienced independents across all states and territories.
We believe in being upfront about how we make money.

Early feedback from professionals on the platform.
“I have been in private certification for eleven years and most of my work has always come through word of mouth. Lodgepath sent me two solid briefs in the first month. Straightforward process.”
Private Certifier, NSW
“The availability toggle is the thing I did not know I needed. Being able to signal that I am actually open for work without having to update a website or post on LinkedIn saves me time every week.”
Town Planner, VIC
“I was sceptical at first but the briefs that come through are genuine projects with real timelines. Not speculative enquiries. Worth listing.”
