How we do our research. Independent, rigorous, and close to the industry.

The Pulse Research is an independent research company for Australia’s residential construction industry. We run the surveys, benchmarks and studies that tell builders, suppliers and the wider industry the truth about how home building actually works, and how it’s actually experienced.

WHY US

ACCESS, UNDERSTANDING & tHE STRONGEST INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS

We don’t study this industry from a distance...we live in it. Through The Good Builder we’re connected to a real, engaged audience of Australian builders, trades and the homeowners they build for. That access, and a genuine understanding of how a build runs, is what every piece of our research is built on.

ACCESS

A genuine, engaged panel of Australian builders and the homeowners they build for, reached through The Good Builder.

Industry access most research houses can’t get.

UNDERSTANDING

We know how a build runs; fixed-price contracts, variations, subbies, handovers. Our questions land because we’ve been close to the work, not because a template told us to.

PARTNERS

We work with suppliers, brands and industry bodies who commission and help fund independent reporting.

Our network of partners also give us unprecedented insights.

INDEPENDENCE

We take a holistic view of the industry due to our deep understanding of it.

Our independence also assures you we don't have any other agenda than to improve the industry.

Why Our Data Is Citable & Reliable

Standardised

The same methodology and instrument every time, so the numbers are actually comparable.

3rd Party

Collected and analysed by us, not self-reported by whoever’s being measured avoiding bias and misunderstanding.

Consistent

The same questions over time, so trends are real, not artefacts of a changed survey with inconsistent results.
