We judge Meta on cost per signed contract and give it at least 6 months. ## The Builder Playbook: Lead Magnet, Retargeting, Nurture Lakshane’s Meta playbook for builders runs in three layers. Each does a different job across a decision that takes months. 01### A Lead Magnet for Cold Audiences A cost breakdown, inclusions list or knockdown rebuild checklist on its own landing page. The form asks build address, handover timing and the project, so every download can be qualified. 02### Static and Video Retargeting Ads on your one key service, rotating walkthroughs, client stories, build updates and licence and warranty details. Small audiences keep this layer cheap. 03### A Five-Email Nurture Delivers the guide, shares one insight, shows what working with you is like and answers a real concern. Only the fifth email asks for a 30-minute call. ## Meet the Team Behind Your Builder Meta Ads Lakshane Fonseka built the builder playbook we run on Meta.

Verified 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came to Uprise Digital at the start of the year. We’re a large residential construction company and our pipeline had really started to shrink. We were only halfway through our insurance limit and our architect pipeline had basically dried up so we knew we needed to find the right marketing partner and fast. From the first conversation Lakshane sat down with us and actually explained the strategy. Rather than just throwing us into a direct funnel they took a value first approach to the marketing which made a lot of sense for our industry. They did proper market research put together all our brochures landing pages ad scripts and basically built the entire strategy from the ground up including all the backend and technical side of things. Working with Ben, Hayley and the rest of the team has been seamless honestly. Within a day of going live we were already getting 5 to 6 inquiries a day which was above the benchmarks the Uprise team had even set for us. We’re working toward 8 figure sales goals so there was real money on the line here. But from the strategy right through to the video production team the whole experience has been awesome. Super happy with where things are heading and already seeing the results on the ground. Sultan Baloch - Owner @ KGN Homes Verified 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We’ve been working with Uprise for a little over a month now and already what a huge difference it’s made having the right people on the job! From the get go Lakshane understood what we needed and Ben on the fortnightly meetings has been a huge help in educating us along the way and ensuring we’re on track to achieving our targets. They even built my business a custom landing page, making my Google ads even more effective. Couldn’t recommend them more highly! Josh Caligiuri - Owner @ JC Earthmoving Verified 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was a bit hesitant after getting ghosted by another agency but these guys have been unreal for my demo business. The biggest difference is they actually stay in touch and care about getting you wins. Ben, Lakshane and the team don’t just set stuff up and disappear – they’re always checking in, fixing problems straight away and looking at ways to improve things. Only a few weeks in and I’ve already locked in 2 house demos with a builder, got heaps of other quotes out there too. Leads have been solid and yeah some jobs are 4-12 weeks away but thats just how it goes in this game, at least Im building up work. Theyve sorted everything from the Meta ads to retargeting and when I had issues with emails going to promotions or targeting the wrong areas they fixed it immediately. What makes Uprise different – if they dont hear from me they message me first, not the other way around. This is just the start and keen to see where it goes. Would definitely recommend if you want an agency that actually cares. Anthony - Owner @ DemoSpec Verified 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Working with Uprise has been a refreshing change from our past experiences with marketing agencies. From the beginning, the team took the time to understand our products, target audience, and what actually drives enquiries in our industry. That level of attention made all the difference. They’ve helped refine our advertising strategy and improve our content across multiple platforms, leading to a clear increase in both leads and engagement. Communication is consistent, transparent, and genuinely collaborative – something we hadn’t experienced before. We’ve been with Uprise since around February, and the results speak for themselves. It’s great to finally work with a team that delivers on what they promise and brings real value to our business. Highly recommend. Cameron Violet - Superior Panel Verified 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have been working with the Uprise Digital team now for 3 months. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Very easy and seamless. Coming in to online advertising with quite a reluctant attitude, we have not only seen great success with more opportunities coming in via the ads but also we have found more opportunities coming in across all areas of the business. We have been extremely surprised with how powerful the right Ad plan can be.

Josh Poor - Founder @ The Wallsmiths ## Facebook Ads for Builders Questions, Answered Do Facebook ads work for builders? Yes, for builds people decide on slowly, such as custom homes, knockdown rebuilds, display homes and granny flats. They suit urgent jobs less, because those buyers search Google and call the same afternoon. How much should a builder spend on Facebook ads? Most builders start at $2,000 to $6,000 a month in ad spend. Give it at least 6 months before judging it on contracts. What is a good cost per lead for a builder on Meta? It depends on what you ask for. In KGN Homes’ campaign, guide downloads cost $19 on Meta and consultation enquiries $170. Cost per signed contract is the number that matters. Do builder ads fall under Meta’s housing special ad category in Australia? Not by requirement. Meta’s housing restrictions apply to advertisers in the US, or reaching the US, Canada or Europe. Advertisers elsewhere can opt in or out. Meta’s rules against discrimination apply everywhere. Should we use instant forms or a landing page? For custom homes and knockdowns we prefer a landing page with a multi-step form. Instant forms bring more leads at lower quality, and a poor lead wastes your estimator’s time. Will Facebook ads replace architect referrals? Keep your referrals. They’re still the best leads. Meta builds a second pipeline alongside them, and it’s one you own. Should we run Facebook or Instagram ads? Both, from one Meta campaign. Letting Meta choose placements usually costs less. If you want reels and finished-home tours to lead, see our Instagram ads for builders service. ## Related Guides and Research [https://uprisedigital.com.au/blog/facebook-ads-for-builders/](https://uprisedigital.com.au/blog/facebook-ads-for-builders/) ### [Facebook Ads for Builders: How to Fill Your Pipeline Without Architect Referrals](https://uprisedigital.com.au/blog/facebook-ads-for-builders/) September 30, 2026 One Melbourne builder spent $40,000 on Meta ads and signed 3 contracts worth more than $5 million.
