Visibuild was founded by Melbourne-area builder Damien Quinn, who spent over 15 years managing complex projects—such as twin 60‑story buildings with hundreds of contractors—before realizing that no existing software could effectively support real-time quality assurance on large construction sites [theaustralian.com.au].
The Challenge
On high-stakes builds like data centers—with dozens of supervisors and thousands of inspections—traditional methods (meetings, calls, paper logs) simply didn’t provide the speed or accuracy needed.
“It was incredibly hard to manage… 30 meetings a week, hundreds of phone calls, dealing with 20 supervisors plus all the lead hands…” — Damien Quinn [theaustralian.com.au].
The Solution
After months of searching for a suitable tool, Quinn built a mobile-first platform to digitize quality checks in the field. Data is captured live via mobile devices and synced instantly to dashboards for supervisors, owners, and stakeholders [theaustralian.com.au].
Results & Growth
- 700+ projects tracked within a few years, with over 1,800 companies onboarded [proptechbuzz.com].
- Used on more than 50% of data-center builds in Australia [theaustralian.com.au].
- Substantially reduced rework, errors, and administrative effort—cutting defect costs by as much as 50% in some cases.
“Visibuild’s mission is to set a new standard for quality assurance in the construction industry… Our platform fosters cultural change throughout the supply chain.” — Damien Quinn [proptechbuzz.com]
Why It Matters
This case shows how domain expertise combined with internal development can fill critical gaps—creating a tool that not only solves field challenges but quickly becomes an industry standard in its niche.
