Software for construction and real estate
Project cost control, procurement, subcontractor management and asset registers — for businesses where margin leaks quietly across dozens of sites.
Construction and property businesses run many concurrent projects with thin margins, long payment chains and heavy documentation obligations. The margin does not disappear in one large event; it leaks quietly through unapproved variations, subcontractor claims nobody reconciled, and materials ordered twice because two sites could not see each other's stock.
The software that fixes this is unglamorous: a requisition that checks the project budget before it is raised, a variation that cannot be executed without approval at the right level, a subcontractor bill reconciled against measured work, and a document trail that satisfies both the client and the regulator. We build that layer.
The failure modes
we keep meeting.
- 01
Cost control arrives too late
Committed cost is known weeks after the commitment. By the time the report shows an overrun, the money is already spent and the variation is unarguable.
- 02
Variations and claims go untracked
Scope changes agreed verbally on site, subcontractor claims against them, and no single record tying instruction to approval to payment. This is where disputes originate.
- 03
Procurement fragmented across sites
Each site buys independently, so volume leverage is lost, stock sits unused on one project while another orders the same item, and rate agreements go unenforced.
- 04
Compliance documentation by hand
Safety records, inspection certificates, insurance, licences and subcontractor compliance documents tracked in spreadsheets, expiring unnoticed until they are needed.
Products, not
capabilities.
Each of these is a system we can build from scratch and scale to your size. Everything here works without training a model — where AI is involved it is a hosted model reading a document or answering a question, not a black box.
- Custom Software01
Project cost control
Budget, committed cost and actuals in one place per cost code, updated as commitments are made rather than after invoicing — so an overrun is visible while it can still be argued about.
- Procurement & ERP02
Procurement and subcontractor management
Central requisition and approval with project budget checks, rate agreements enforced across sites, and subcontractor bills verified against measured work and the BOQ.
- Mobile Apps03
Site daily progress reporting app
DPR entries, photographs, labour and plant deployment and material receipts captured on a phone at the site, offline, and assembled into the report the client contract requires.
- Asset Management04
Plant and equipment register
Ownership, custody and location of plant across sites, hire versus own decisions with the numbers behind them, maintenance schedules, and utilisation reporting per machine.
- Custom Software05
Compliance and document expiry tracker
Safety records, inspection certificates, insurance, licences and subcontractor compliance documents, with expiry surfaced weeks ahead instead of on the day it stops work.
- Applied AI & LLM06
Drawing and RFI search
Ask a question across project drawings, specifications, RFIs and correspondence and get an answer with the source document cited, instead of three people searching a shared drive.
The work, and where it sits.

Sector specifics.
Can this integrate with our accounting package?
Yes, and it should. Commitments, accruals and subcontractor payments belong in the ledger. We build the integration with reconciliation reporting so project cost and financial cost agree rather than being argued about monthly.
Will site teams actually use a mobile app?
Only if it works without signal and takes seconds. We build offline-first with queued sync, and we design the capture flow around what someone can realistically do wearing gloves on a site — which is the difference between adoption and abandonment.
