Software built around the work
Custom App Development
We build custom web apps for businesses that can’t find the right tech stack, or that want to replace several apps that don’t talk to each other with one they can rely on.

One app in place of many
Many businesses end up paying for several apps that don’t talk to each other, because no single product fits the way they work. The costs add up, and so does the time spent moving information between them.
A custom app condenses that into one system you can rely on. You can have it modified whenever you want, you have more control over how it works, and hosting it usually costs much less than all those subscriptions combined.
- One app in place of several that don’t connect
- Usually much cheaper to host than the apps it replaces
- Modified whenever you want
- More control over how it works
What we build
The working parts of a custom app
Client portals
A private place for each client to follow progress, work through checklists, find their documents and files, and see payments or inspection results.
Scheduling and online booking
Crew and shift schedules, recurring tasks, and booking calendars that prevent double-bookings and sync both ways with Google Calendar.
CRM and enquiry pipelines
Enquiry forms that feed a CRM, and a drag-and-drop pipeline that carries each job from first contact through to delivery.
AI built in
We can build your preferred AI into the app to create automations, engage with your clients, or do just about anything you can imagine.
Task tracking and sign-offs
Work tracked from on time through late and missed, attendance recorded as people arrive, and safety sign-offs in the crew’s own language.
White-label platforms
Multi-company platforms where each business gets its own domain, branding and email identity, with data kept separate at the database level.
The process
How a custom app project works
Understand the work
We start with how your business runs today: who does what, where the time goes, and what the current tools can’t do.
Design the system
We ask for apps you like as inspiration, then map out the screens and send you proofs to approve before deep development starts.
Build and test
The app is built in stages, with working versions for you and your team to try along the way.
Launch and improve
Once it’s live, we keep improving it. Ongoing support is billed monthly for a set number of hours, agreed during your consultation.
FAQ
Common questions
The questions that come up before most app projects. If yours isn’t here, ask.
Ask us directlyHow much does a custom app cost?
Cost varies with each project and its scope of work. Tell us what you need and we’ll put together a quote for your project.
How long does a project take?
Anywhere from one week to six months, depending on the scope of work.
Do you build mobile apps too?
We build web apps primarily. Mobile apps are available at an additional charge.
Will we see the design before you build it?
Yes. You get proofs to review before deep development starts. We’ll also ask you for apps you like, to use as inspiration.
Can you build AI into the app?
Yes. We can build your preferred AI into the app to create automations, engage with your clients, or anything else you can imagine.
Is there support after launch?
Yes. Ongoing support is billed monthly for a set number of hours, which we discuss during your consultation.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. The client owns the code and the data.
Who hosts the app after launch?
That’s up to you. We can host it, or you can host it yourself.
Can it connect to the tools we already use?
Yes, as long as the tool has an API. If it doesn’t, we can’t connect to it. Integrations are an additional charge, because the data has to be mapped properly between the two systems.
have a product in mind?
Tell us how your business runs today and where the current tools fall short. We’ll tell you plainly whether a custom app is the right fix.
