// Custom Software & Bespoke IT Solutions
If it doesn't exist, we build it.
This is what I'm known for. When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, I design and build solutions around the way your business actually works, dashboards, customer portals, booking systems, purpose-built hardware/software combos, building and environmental monitoring.
And because I build it, I can support it for life. Documented and owned by you, no vendor hostage situations, no licence ransom three years in.
- Custom business applications and internal tools
- Customer portals, booking and workflow systems
- Purpose-built hardware/software combinations
- E-commerce and web systems built for your processes
- Solutions documented and owned by you
// Lean now, migratable later
Build lean. Architect so growth is a migration, not a rebuild.
Here's how I actually approach a custom build: start with the lean option, but design it so that when you outgrow it, you migrate rather than throw it away and start again. Those are two different things. A cheap build that has to be scrapped the moment you get busy isn't cheap, it's a deposit on a second project. So I keep the data clean, the parts separable, and the growth path in mind from day one, even when we're only shipping the small version first.
The other half of the doctrine: I write bespoke code only for the genuinely unique logic, the thing no product on the market does the way your business does it, like a pricing engine tuned to how you actually quote. Everything around it I wire up from commodity tools that already do their job well: accounting, CRM, workflow automation. There's no sense hand-building an invoicing system when a proven one exists and just needs connecting. The honest answer to "custom or off-the-shelf?" is rarely either/or. It's custom where you're different, off-the-shelf where you're not, and the wiring in between done properly.
// Indicative pricing
What it roughly costs.
Real numbers, because "contact us for pricing" is code for "brace yourself." These are honest ballparks, your fixed quote comes after a free consult.
Indicative pricing ex GST at market rates +10%. Every build starts with a fixed-price scope so you know the number before a line of code is written.
// Questions
Bespoke, your questions answered.
Can you build custom software for my business?
Yes, it's what we're known for. Dashboards, customer portals, booking and workflow systems, even purpose-built hardware/software combos. We start with a $990 scoping engagement, then build to a fixed-price quote.
How much does custom software cost?
Small builds like a tool, dashboard or portal start around $5,500; larger staged systems from $13,200, or $1,320/day for engineering work. You get a fixed-price scope before any code is written, so you know the number up front.
Who owns the custom solution you build?
You do. Everything is documented and owned by you, no vendor hostage situations and no licence ransom down the track. And because we build it, we can support it for life.
