BuildaScan
Digital Site Intelligence for sites that need more than eyesight alone.
High-resolution imaging, thermal intelligence, full site mapping, 3D modelling, and AI-assisted defect detection delivered as one module inside the BuildaCheck ecosystem.
Integrated into the BuildaCheck evidence workflow
Why It Matters
See more. Know more. Prove more.
BuildaScan captures roofs, facades, boundaries, terrain, moisture, and defect signals, then turns that evidence into regulator-aligned reporting that fits builders, insurers, owners, and dispute workflows.

Workflow
Built to capture, analyse, verify, and report without breaking context.
Capture
BuildaCheck inspections and BuildaScan multi-sensor capture gather site condition, compliance context, and spatial evidence.
Analyse
AI-assisted review, point-cloud processing, and standards-aligned inspection interpretation convert raw data into usable intelligence.
Verify
Deviation maps, progress layers, QA checks, and compliance observations validate what is happening on site.
Report
BuildaCheck's report engine consolidates evidence into a defensible output for clients, disputes, claims, and handover.

FAQ
Common Digital Site Intelligence questions.
Is site mapping included?
Yes. Full site mapping with orthomosaic and terrain modelling is included as standard in the core DSI offer.
Do I need a BuildaCheck inspection first?
No. BuildaScan can be booked as a standalone service, but it integrates directly into the BuildaCheck reporting workflow when both are used together.
Is this safe for roofs and high-risk areas?
Yes. BuildaScan reduces ladder work and roof access requirements by using drone-based capture and remote intelligence workflows.
Is the data regulator-aligned?
Yes. The workflow is positioned around NCC, relevant Australian Standards, and insurer or VCAT-ready evidence structures.
