What we set out to build
Queensland pool safety compliance is a recurring, regulated, unavoidable job. The founder wanted both sides of it: the inspection service, and the tooling that makes an inspector's week manageable.
What was built
- A pool inspection service for Queensland compliance
- A remote inspection application, so a proportion of the work does not require a site visit
- An inspector organiser app: jobs, certificates, reminders and evidence in one place, built for someone working out of a vehicle
What it achieves
- Targets a market where the demand is created by regulation rather than by marketing
- The inspector app is the same automation thesis as the rest of the studio, applied to a trade that currently runs on paper and memory
The stack
In design, mobile-first, evidence capture.
Common questions
How was this built?
This was built through Colabs, our sister company. A founder brought the idea and the domain knowledge, Colabs brought the team, the founder funded the build with a monthly subscription, and they hold equity in the company that resulted. We label every case study, because a studio that publishes its prices and argues the other side of its own comparisons has to be equally precise about its own portfolio.
What state is it in?
In progress. We state that plainly rather than describing everything as production: several things here are deliberately gated, and the reason is usually evidence rather than a missing feature.
Can you build something like this for us?
That is the point of publishing it. The same patterns are in the catalogue at published prices, and you can scope your own version on the plain-English page without contacting us first.
Where to next
If something here is close to what you need, the same patterns are in the catalogue at published prices, or you can describe your version in plain English and get it scoped and priced without talking to anyone.
