Our journey

As an industry, property and construction suffers from low productivity and a shortage of new talent. But, through the digitisation of built assets and digital construction, we are now seeing inefficient working and outdated practices become a thing of the past.

In 2018, our five founders created ScanTech Digital; a business centered on innovation and efficiency. Our aim? To help you use technology to avoid duplication, improve records, deliver quality…

…and usher in a new era.
