Our Story

In 2020, owners of a rope access company in Sydney, Abbie Widin and Melinda Johnson embarked on a transformative journey. They wanted to change the way the façade was accessed and interacted with.

Their vision was recognized and supported by the NSW Government's Physical Sciences Fund in 2021.

With backing from global real estate titans and partnerships with premier facade engineering firms, they built more than just an innovative solution.
Defy-Hi has built a transformative workflow to help property owners manage façade risk.

Defy-Hi has prioritized understanding the industry's data interaction needs, ensuring practicality met innovation.

Their venture now stands as the standard for future-focused digital facade capture and analysis.

This helps property owners manage risk across complex portfolios.
