The seed of BuiltSmart Interactive was planted in 1997 when a group of IT professionals formed BuiltSmart Software. Based in Geelong, BuiltSmart Software specialised in providing web and software development services to small businesses, helping them to build appropriate solutions that addressed true business needs. The business grew to employ several more staff and in July 2000 was incorporated as a company and became BuiltSmart Interactive.

After defeating a hostile corporate acquisition from the now defunct Challenge Advertising group in 2001, BuiltSmart changed its management structure, secured a pool of new technical, graphic design and project management resources and expanded its operations to include service offerings in Melbourne, Colac and Warnambool. As its client base expanded and its reputation for creating and supporting robust software solutions grew, BuiltSmart Interactive moved its principal base of operations from Geelong to Melbourne in 2002 in order to drive and support the continued growth of the company. While still providing managed web site and software solutions through the BuiltSmart Software brand, the company also began offering on-site consulting services through its new consulting arm, Calico Consulting.

In 2001-02 the company also began to work with larger corporate clients including Bristol Myers-Squibb Pharmaceuticals, Monash University, RMIT University, La Trobe University, Intertextual, and the South West Alliance of Rural Healthcare (SWARH). These clients, while bringing larger projects to the table, were treated with the same respect and skill that had initially given BuiltSmart its commercial success, with a result that to date a number of successful projects have been deployed on these sites.

Today, BuiltSmart is based in Blackburn, in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs, and employs a number of permanent and contract staff. With renewed focus on the provision of 'best fit' IT solutions for its customers, BuiltSmart offers consulting and technical services, from architecture to implementation, across a wide range of current and legacy skill sets. The company has maintained an excellent reputation for delivering solutions which meet or exceed the business needs of its customers and continues to pursue ongoing and mutually productive relationships with its clients.
