Software development for builders and contractors

Contractors, developers and building-material suppliers come to us with the same three problems: site progress is reported by phone; material orders are duplicated across sites; quotes are produced in Word and lost. An app that ships and stays running.

What builders and contractors usually need

  • Site progress with photos and sign-off
  • Material requisition across sites
  • Quote builder with approval

Questions your buyers ask assistants

These are the queries where you should be the answer. Each one needs a page that answers it in the first paragraph, carries an author and a date, and is reachable by AI crawlers.

  • [service] contractor in [city]
  • cost to build [type] in [country]
  • [material] supplier [city]

What we would ship first

  • Product engineeringCustomer-facing platforms built to be handed over, with tests and documentation that survive us.
  • Mobile appsReact Native and Expo apps on Android and iOS, with the store listings, crash reporting and release pipeline in place.
  • Multi-tenant SaaSTenant isolation, billing, roles and the admin panel you need to run it. We have shipped four of our own.
  • Internal toolsThe unglamorous systems that replace eleven spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group.

How the engagement runs

  • Scoping sprint. Two weeks. We map the workflows, the data and the risks, and hand you a plan with a fixed price for phase one.
  • Build. Weekly demos on a staging URL. Nothing is described in a slide that could be shown in a browser.
  • Launch. Release pipeline, monitoring, store listings and a written runbook before the first real user.
  • Run. A monthly retainer covers on-call, dependency updates and the small changes every live product needs.

Software we already run for this sector

  • Inventorini. Cartons and loose pieces, counted the way a godown counts them.

Questions people ask

Have you worked with builders and contractors before?
Our own products serve this sector directly, and the scoping sprint is designed to learn your process in two weeks rather than assume it.
Do you take over existing codebases?
Yes. The scoping sprint starts with a written assessment of what is there, what we would keep and what we would replace.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts are created under your organisation.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. React Native and Expo for Android and iOS. Our own Aqua Core OS app is on Google Play.
