The Evolution of what the industry needs.
In 2013 QDEF was rebranded as QaPad and in 2023 we have come full-circle back to QDEF after so many in the industry told us how much they loved the old brand.
Homebuilders have been using QDEF since 1998 to efficiently deliver high quality homes and manage their post-closing deficiencies.
Lou Lanaro developed the first version of QDEF in the late 1980s to help him in his role as a Director of Customer Service at a large Homebuilder. The product was refined and then offered to builders as a Windows-based Software in 1998.
In 2016, the business was continued by Lou’s son, Nick Lanaro. Nick has a broad background in Construction, software development, and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.
