what is Dwello

We built the guidance we wish we'd had at every open home.

Dwello is an Australian web app that helps home buyers get more from every open home. Take photos as you walk through and Dwello creates an easy to understand report on what looks off, how serious it might be and a rough cost estimate to resolve it. Every report is saved to your My Properties dashboard, so you can organise, review and compare properties afterwards.

The founders

Two brothers. One building inspector, one entrepreneur.

Drew knows what's behind the walls. Jamie knows how to get that knowledge into your pocket.

Drew Woods

Co-founder · Building inspector

Drew is a professional building inspector with 12 years in the field. He's seen firsthand how well explained property knowledge brings clarity and reassurance to people. That's where the idea for Dwello came from, wanting to make that information accessible to as many people as possible earlier on in the buying process.

Why we started

Two paths; one destination.

Everyone wants a safe, comfortable place to call home but not everyone knows how to spot potential issues and feel confident they are buying the right house for the right price.

Through years of building inspections, Drew has helped thousands of people understand exactly what they are buying. He knows the value of having property knowledge and has seen time and again the clarity it gives people to make the right decision.

Jamie also witnessed the power of property knowledge whilst working with a buyer's advocate. The way they noticed things during open homes, knew what questions to ask and what needed to be investigated further. It made decision making easier and the entire process less overwhelming.

When Drew spoke of wanting to use the power of AI to get this information to people earlier, Jamie really connected with the idea of helping empower people to make more educated property decisions. And so began the journey to build Dwello...

What we stand for

Built around the buyer.

Honest about limits

Dwello only sees what's in your photos. Every report says so and tells you when it's time to book a professional.

Easy to understand

No jargon, no scare tactics. You get an overview of what was seen, how serious it might be and what it could cost to resolve.

Your home, your call

We point you to the right professionals when you want one. Who you hire, and what you buy, is up to you.

F.A.Q.

Common questions about Dwello.

Does Dwello replace a building and pest inspection?

No. Dwello is an organisational, comparison and awareness tool, not an inspection. It helps you walk into the room knowing what to look for, what to ask and who to call next then lets you review and compare properties later. Before you buy, always engage a professional building inspector.

How does Dwello work?

Walk through a home and take photos as you go. Dwello uses AI to assess what you submitted, gives you an easy-to-read report, including how serious it might be and roughly what it could cost to resolve.

What can Dwello see?

Only what is in your photos. Every report says so, and tells you when it is time to book a professional.

How is Dwello different from a standard AI platform?

Dwello's AI has been tested against hundreds of real reports. Drew, a professional building inspector, has reviewed each test report to refine Dwello's output against what he would flag on site. Accuracy and clarity are high priority.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Dwello runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to download. For frequent use, you can use our handy 'save to home screen' feature to add a website shortcut icon on your home screen.

Take Dwello with you. It runs in your phone's browser, so there's nothing to download.
