For independent and regional builders
Let your requirements guide the land search
Lot Buddy is developing a structured external sourcing process for builders who want potential vacant-lot opportunities considered against a documented buy box.
Tell us your requirementsA builder-first approach
Reduce attention spent on obvious mismatches
The aim is not to replace acquisitions expertise or due diligence. It is to make the early sourcing conversation more structured and relevant.
Document the requirement once
Capture the recurring criteria that guide whether a property should enter the builder’s review process.
Research for potential alignment
Use available information to identify possible matches, exclusions and questions that still need answers.
Present information clearly
Provide a concise opportunity summary so the builder can decide whether further investigation is warranted.
The buy-box framework
Define what matters before the search begins
Each builder’s criteria will differ. These categories provide a practical starting point and can be refined as the relationship develops.
Lot profile
Frontage, depth, area, shape, orientation and preferred dwelling types.
Planning context
Available zoning and planning information, overlays and intended use.
Site conditions
Access, slope, vegetation, drainage, services and other visible constraints.
Commercial range
Price expectations, project feasibility limits and transaction preferences.
Deal-breakers
The conditions that should exclude a property before time is spent reviewing it.
Proposed workflow
A disciplined path from requirement to review
Lot Buddy’s role is to support the sourcing and early information process. Suitability and transaction decisions remain with the builder and its advisers.

Clear boundaries
Designed to support judgement, not replace it
A sourced opportunity is a starting point for assessment. It is not a recommendation, valuation, approval or representation that the land is suitable for development.
Information has limitsAvailable records may be incomplete, outdated or require specialist confirmation.
Due diligence remains essentialPlanning, title, servicing, environmental, legal and commercial matters may require independent review.
No automatic commitmentReceiving or reviewing an opportunity does not commit the builder, landowner or Lot Buddy to proceed.
