Every credential a builder, architect, or developer needs — in one tap

Whether you're attending a builder briefing, networking at an HIA or MBA event, or meeting an architect on a new residential development, one tap opens your full profile — RBS registration, building class scope, permit authority status, sector experience, and enquiry form — so builders choose you before they call the council.

🏛️

RBS registration number

Display your Registered Building Surveyor (RBS) registration number and class. Your RBS registration is the legal authority to issue building permits, conduct mandatory inspections, and issue occupancy certificates under the Building Act in your state — the credential that makes you a permit authority. Builders and developers must appoint a registered building surveyor before lodging a building permit application, so your RBS registration on your profile is the first thing every builder checks before making contact.

📋

Building class scope and specialties

List your scope — residential Class 1 and 2 buildings, commercial Class 5–9 buildings, industrial Class 7 and 8, mixed-use, retail, aged care, volumetric modular construction, pool barriers and permits, or fire safety engineering reports. Builders and developers with specific project types find you immediately when your profile makes your scope and experience clear — you're shortlisted before the permit application clock starts.

📅

Permit enquiry and booking form

Link your website enquiry form, Calendly booking page, or practice management intake. Builders and owner-builders submit their project details and timeline directly from the tap — you capture the lead at peak intent, whether that's at a builder briefing, a project handover event, or a conversation on site where the planning permit has just been issued and the building permit clock is ticking.

🏗️

Commercial and multi-residential surveying

Commercial developers, apartment developers, and aged care providers need an RBS with commercial and multi-residential scope — the building complexity, fire safety requirements, and NCC compliance checks are beyond residential surveyors. Display your commercial building class scope. Developers and architects searching for a commercial-capable RBS find you immediately when your profile makes your Class 5–9 or Class 2 multi-residential experience clear.

🤝

Architect, engineer, and planner referral network

Architects, town planners, civil engineers, and developers all need to appoint a building surveyor at the permit stage. Swap ZapCards at every project kickoff and industry event. When their client asks "do you know a good building surveyor?" your RBS registration, scope, and enquiry form are one tap away — the professional referral that wins the appointment before the builder calls the council permit authority.

Built for every building surveyor setting

Residential volume builders and project home companies

Volume builders construct hundreds of homes per year across multiple estates — they need a building surveyor who can handle their permit pipeline efficiently, knows their standard construction types, and turns around permits without delay. These are high-volume, long-term relationships. Tap your ZapCard at HIA and MBA events and at building industry briefings. Your RBS registration, Class 1 residential scope, and enquiry form are in every volume builder's procurement manager's phone — the introduction that leads to an annual panel appointment.

Commercial and industrial development

Commercial developers building offices, retail centres, warehouses, and industrial facilities need a building surveyor with the correct class scope and fire safety experience. The NCC compliance complexity for Class 5–9 buildings — fire compartmentation, egress calculations, accessibility, and essential safety measures — requires an RBS with commercial depth. Tap your ZapCard at Property Council, UDIA, and civil industry events. Your commercial class scope and fire safety experience are in every commercial developer's phone.

Multi-residential and apartment developments

Apartment developers face the most complex NCC compliance requirements of any building class — Class 2 multi-residential buildings require fire compartmentation, smoke hazard management, accessibility compliance (DDA), and energy efficiency (NatHERS) assessment. Tap your ZapCard at property developer events and architect briefings. Your Class 2 multi-residential experience and compliance expertise are in every apartment developer's phone — the RBS appointment that manages compliance risk from permit to occupancy certificate.

Owner-builders and custom home projects

Owner-builders are legally required to appoint an independent building surveyor in most Australian states — they can't use the council permit authority for their own projects. Custom home builders and owner-builders need an RBS they can trust to guide them through the permit, inspection, and occupancy certificate process without delays. Your ZapCard at builders' shows, owner-builder seminars, and community events puts your RBS credentials and enquiry form in their hands at the exact moment they're choosing their surveyor.

Swimming pool barrier inspections and permits

Pool barrier compliance is a high-volume, high-frequency service — pool builders, pool renovators, property owners selling homes with pools, and councils all need barrier inspections and compliance certificates. Your ZapCard at pool industry events, real estate offices, and conveyancing firms puts your pool barrier inspection service in every pool builder's and real estate agent's phone — the fast-turnaround referral service that generates consistent recurring revenue.

Architect and town planner referral network

Architects and town planners work with building surveyors on every project — they refer building surveyor appointments as standard. Swap ZapCards at AIA, Planning Institute, and RAIA events. Your RBS registration, class scope, and turnaround capability are in every architect's and planner's phone — the professional relationship that turns every planning permit into a building permit appointment.

Frequently asked questions

How does ZapCard work for building surveyors?

Tap your ZapCard against any smartphone (iPhone or Android). The recipient's phone opens your building surveyor profile — RBS registration, class scope, specialties, enquiry form, and contact — instantly, with no app needed on their end. You control what's on your profile and can update it any time from your dashboard.

Does the recipient need an app to receive my contact?

No. Any modern iPhone (XS or later) or Android phone with NFC enabled can receive your card with no app required. The tap opens your profile in the phone's default browser.

What if the phone's NFC is off or the phone is old?

Every ZapCard also has a QR code on the back. Scan the code to open the same profile — no NFC needed. Works on any smartphone with a camera.

Can I show my RBS registration number on my profile?

Yes. Display your RBS registration number and class. Builders can verify your registration against the state building practitioners register (VBA in Victoria, QBCC in Queensland, etc.) — the transparency that confirms your permit authority status and eliminates the compliance question before it's asked.

Is my data private and Privacy Act protected?

Yes. All ZapCard profile data is private — never sold or shared. Compliant with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

What if I lose my card?

Order a replacement at the standard price. Your profile transfers to the new card instantly — no re-setup required.
