Proptech Australia

On 19 August 2026, founders and leaders behind some of Australia's most-awarded proptech companies came together for one hour to answer an all-important question: what does it take to build a proptech that wins?

BuildBuddy is a case study in what happens when that wall is approached from the inside — not by outsiders, but by an operator running one of the country's larger residential builders who set out to compete with his own business model.

The Australian proptech sector is no stranger to consolidation. Over the past decade, the market has cycled through fragmentation — agencies accumulating point solutions across CRM, property management, leasing, and websites — and is now swinging back toward the appeal of integrated, full-stack platforms. Reapit's experience navigating this cycle offers one of the most instructive case studies currently available to the sector.
