Custom builds

When the right tool doesn't exist, we build it.

We connect the tools you already use, automate the work that repeats, and build custom software, including AI that knows your business. Scoped per project. Yours to keep.

No obligation · Fixed quote before any work starts

The problem

The tools you can buy get you most of the way. Then they stop.

  • Five tools that don't talk to each other, and someone retyping between them.
  • A spreadsheet that quietly runs the business and only one person understands.
  • A process that's yours, that no product on the market quite fits.
  • Questions about your own documents that nobody can answer without digging.

A custom build fills the gap, and only the gap.

What you get

Scoped, built, handed over.

Scope

What it does, and what it doesn't

We write down exactly what the build will do, what it won't, and what it costs. Nothing starts until you've agreed to that page.

DeliverableA one-page scope with a fixed price and a delivery date.
Build

Small pieces, shown early

We build in short cycles and show you working software as we go, so there are no surprises at the end.

DeliverableSomething you can try every week or two, with your feedback built into the next round.
Handover

Yours, documented, explained

You get the code, the logins, and a plain-language guide. We walk your team through it on their real work.

DeliverableThe finished build, the documentation, and a training session with the people who'll use it.
After

Support if you want it

Fixes for anything that breaks in the first fourteen days are included. After that, paid support is optional and month to month.

DeliverableFourteen days of fixes, then an optional paid support plan.
Example builds

The kinds of things we build.

Automation

Connect what you already use

A form submission creates the client, sends the welcome email, and books the first call. No retyping.

Custom tool

Replace the spreadsheet

A quoting or scheduling tool built around how you actually price and plan, that more than one person can use.

AI on your data

Answers from your own documents

An assistant that knows your contracts, procedures, and past work, and answers questions from them.

Why this

Built to fit, not to impress.

Fixed scope, fixed price.

You know what it does and what it costs before anything is built.

Starts small.

The first build is usually one workflow. If it earns its keep, we do the next one.

You own it.

The code, the accounts, the documentation. Take it to anyone.

Built by the person you talked to.

No handoff to a team you've never met. The person who scopes it is the person who builds it.

How it works

From idea to working software in three steps.

01

Discovery call

Free

You describe the gap. We tell you whether a build is the right answer, or whether a tool you can buy would do.

02

Scope

One page · Fixed quote

We write down what it does, what it doesn't, the price, and the date. You sign off before anything starts.

03

Build and hand over

Scoped per project

Short cycles, working software early, then a handover with documentation and training.

Is this for you

For businesses with a clear need and nothing that fits.

Built for
  • A repeating task you can describe in a sentence
  • Tools that don't connect, and a person doing the connecting by hand
  • A process that's specific to how you work
  • Businesses that finished the Starting Point and found a build on the list
Not a fit if
  • You're not sure what the problem is yet. Start with the Starting Point.
  • A tool you can buy would do the job. We'll tell you if so.
  • You want a large platform rebuilt from scratch.
  • You need it by Friday.
Questions

Before you decide.

How much does a build cost?

It depends on the build, so every one gets a fixed quote on a one-page scope before any work starts. Most first builds are a single workflow and are priced accordingly.

How long does it take?

Most first builds take two to six weeks. The scope page has the date on it.

Who owns it when it's done?

You do. The code, the accounts, the documentation. If you ever want someone else to maintain it, they can.

What if it breaks?

Fixes in the first fourteen days are included. After that, paid support is optional and month to month.

Do we need to do the Starting Point first?

Not if you already know exactly what you need. If you're not sure, the Starting Point is the cheaper way to find out.

What do you build with, and will it connect to what we have?

Whatever fits the job and your existing tools. Most modern tools have a way in, and we confirm that on the call. We don't push a platform, and we don't resell software.

How do we start?

Book a call and describe the gap. If a build is the right answer, you'll have a scope and a quote within a week or two.

Next step

Describe the gap. We'll tell you what it takes.

No obligation. If a tool you can buy would do the job, we'll say so.
