Why VA
Software Empowering Building Certifiers
Our software empowers building certifiers and surveyors across Australia to simplify the building approval process.
Since 1998, we have been deeply involved in the building certification industry, working closely with key stakeholders like surveyors, engineers, architects, and town planners to gain firsthand knowledge of the building approval process.
With this experience, we developed software to simplify and streamline the process, which we continue to refine through collaboration and testing. Our goal is to provide building certifiers and surveyors across Australia with a comprehensive software solution that meets regulatory standards and improves efficiency.
We remain committed to improving and adapting to evolving industry requirements while delivering valuable savings to the building certification industry.

"VA supports all the aspects of our business from the assessment and inspection stages, processing of council applications, document generation, invoicing and ordering requirements as well emailing. VA also provides clear and accurate checking processes for our staff and allows easy tracking of a job’s progress."
Chris Easton
Director
The great plus with VA is that it is paperless! Everything is electronic from the signing of documents to onsite inspections with tablets, we do not keep any hard copy files and we use a lot less paper. VA has made the entire permit process far more efficient. I would highly recommend VA!
Tim Anderson
Director
"Imagine every piece of building legislation you operate under built into a software program. That’s VA. After using VA for 14 years, I wouldn’t choose anything else."
Gareth Martin
Director and Building Certifier
“SMS is working very well, we receive about 3 to 4 telephone calls each day to reschedule inspections from the SMS. We have noticed the reduction in inspections being cancelled on the day, which is making our inspectors more profitable.
John Reeve
Director

Visual Approvals provides easier access to each file, it’s easy to create reports, electronic filing with the councils is easy, it’s easy to do QLeave and QBCC returns, it has many searchable fields making it quick and easy to find and retrieve information.”
