Builders who scan · Gold Coast, Queensland

Building knowledge first. Technology second.

ScanBuild1 was started by people who build, to give builders, owners, insurers and property teams a record of what was actually built, and a licensed opinion on what it shows.

01 · Why ScanBuild1 exists

Every build hides its own evidence. We keep it.

On every job we've worked on, the same thing happens: the slab buries the services, the linings hide the frame, and months later someone needs to know what's behind the wall. Photos rarely answer it.

So we built a business around two things we know well: building, and capturing buildings accurately. We scan the stages that matter, organise them into a record people can actually use, and because we're a fully licensed QBCC building inspection service, we can tell you what it shows.

02 · The people

Two founders. One standard.
