TIB721 Know What’s Behind the Wall With Construct Scans

 

Imagine knowing exactly where every pipe, cable and stud sits inside a wall before the plaster ever goes up. Construct Scans founder Luke Donegan is making that possible with 3D LiDAR scanning, giving builders and homeowners a measurable record of a build that lasts long after the walls are closed. A former architectural photographer and Army combat engineer, Luke shares how a builder’s folder of over a thousand site photos sparked the idea, and how a Marketplace listing and a nudge from his wife turned it into a business. Nic and Luke talked about what scanning can and cannot see, how the records protect against costly rework, warranty claims and defect disputes, and why homeowners, renovators and property managers could all benefit. They also get into the realities of launching a niche service, from marketing something nobody is searching for to keeping up with fast moving technology and finding a better balance between work and family.
