QBCC-licensed building inspectors · 3D construction capture · Gold Coast
Every stage disappears under the next. Capture it while you can.
The slab buries the services. The linings hide the frame. ScanBuild1 captures each stage in interactive 3D, and as a fully licensed QBCC building inspection service, we can tell you what it shows.
01 · Six windows
Know where every main was laid.
Sewer, stormwater, water and power go in before anything else, then get backfilled. Capture the trenches open and every connection stays findable.

The slab, before it's poured over.
Reinforcement, penetrations, in-slab plumbing and conduits, measured in place. Once the concrete goes down, this is the only way to see them again.
Window open · closes at the pourCapture this stage →
Every stud, pipe, cable and duct.
Plumbing, electrical and air-conditioning run through the open frame. Every run is captured in place, before insulation and linings close it in.
Window open · closes at insulationCapture this stage →
The last look inside the walls.
Insulation's in, sheets are arriving. This is the capture builders reach for years later, when someone needs to drill, renovate or chase a leak.

The walls close. The record doesn't.
The finished home, handed over, with every earlier stage still inside it. Open the record and look behind any wall without lifting a tool.

Inspected by people who build.

Past early adoption. Before saturation.

10 · Questions
Straight answers.
More detail on each service page.
Do you do building inspections?
Yes. ScanBuild1 is a fully licensed QBCC building inspection service. A standard residential inspection with a written report is $750, GST inclusive, with the option to capture the whole building in 3D. A capture records what is visible; an inspection is a licensed professional assessment and report.
Can you show work after it has been covered?
No. A capture only records what can be seen at the time. That's why the windows matter: book before linings go up or concrete is poured.
Can we start partway through a build?
Yes. We start from the next open window. Earlier stages that weren't captured are shown as not recorded, so the record stays honest.
Where do you work?
We're based on the Gold Coast with standard coverage across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Northern Rivers, regular trips to Sydney, and capture trips by booking to Melbourne, Adelaide, Cairns, Townsville and Auckland.
Is the online estimate a quote?
No. It's an indicative estimate. We confirm scope, access and timing before anything is booked.
