About
With a commitment to quality customer service, thorough analysis and efficient, high-quality reporting – ScopeGeo is at the forefront of changing the way construction material is created and tested.
ScopeGeo is the brainchild of Carissa and Thomas, former study-mates in geology at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). After years working in external consulting firms, they were eager to cultivate their own practice that would intersect their expertise with respective interests.
