Overview
Every number here comes from the QBCC licensed-contractor register, scraped and cross-checked directly — nothing estimated. Specialist licences (pool builders, plumbers, etc.) are excluded from builder rankings; they're tracked separately under Other Licence Holders.

📈 Top 1,500 Builders
Ranked by total build value (All Years) — the exact same ranking as the Builders tab's own Top Builders leaderboard, cut off at 1,500.
🗓️ Latest mid-month scrape report
Real changes found the last time the top 1,500 were individually re-scraped (15th of the month) — separate from the ranking above, which reflects the most recent full/monthly scrape.

⚠️ Every builder's value/jobs here are attributed 100% to their head-office region — QBCC's PDF only publishes company-wide totals per builder, never a per-region split, so there's no authoritative way to divide a statewide builder's activity across the regions they actually build in. Builders with a "🏗 statewide" tag in the leaderboard below have real display-home evidence of building outside their head-office region — open their profile for the verified list.

This is a legal company-registration-status signal from ASIC (Australia's companies regulator) — not a financial-performance or profitability rating. "Deregistered" may be a voluntary wind-up (business sold, restructured or retired), not necessarily financial distress — ASIC's dataset doesn't record the reason.

Filtered to the Hub's "Construction / TPAR" and "Property Development" news categories (data/news.js) — the rest of the Hub's feed (trusts, Div 7A, SMSF, CGT) is about personal/investment tax planning, not a builder's own contractor or development-structure obligations, so it's left out here. General information only, not personal tax advice — check with your accountant before acting.

How to run it
What it scrapes: real properties only, one at a time, in this order — the 43 verified seed addresses first, then this app's own real REA sold-listing pool (3,594 addresses across 38 QLD suburbs), then each page's own "Similar Properties" neighbours. Nothing is invented; an address with no Land Use formula estimate on file is marked N/A — not computed rather than guessed. Per property it captures the RP Data valuation band, bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size, and full sale/listing history, and compares the valuation to this app's own formula estimate for the same address.
The rules it runs under: nightly at 1am, once, unattended, using the count set above (capped at 200); also hard-capped at 60 minutes of actual scraping regardless of count, so it never runs for hours; 4–9s between properties with a longer pause every 20 (not a rapid-fire loop); stops itself outright if RP Data's own bot-detection has flagged it, with a real cooldown before trying again (shown above); logging in is never automated — clicking "Log me in" opens a real, visible Chrome window and waits for Brad to type his own password.
What happens with what it finds: once any one council reaches 30 real comparisons, its Land Use formula starts auto-adjusting from the real gap between formula and RP Data for that council — nothing further to build, it's just waiting on volume.

Building Approvals and Housing Stats moved into Area Explorer 8 Sep 2026 -- every real section they held is there now, merged with the per-area search instead of duplicated as its own tab.
Developers & Tiers
Developer company profiles, and the Tier 1-3 construction-tier database -- two related but separate views.
