Our people are not office-based. Will they use it?

That depends on how it is designed, which is why the design starts on your site rather than in a document. A tool used in a van, on scaffolding or in the rain has to work with gloves on, in poor light and with no signal, and it has to be quicker than the paper it replaces. Where it is not, people go back to paper.

Will this work with the accounting system we already use?

Usually, yes. Most projects here are built around Sage, Xero and whatever the surveyor runs, rather than replacing any of them, and the integration work is scoped before anything is agreed. Where a system has no documented route in, that constraint is identified during scoping and the plan changes accordingly. CIS deductions and job costing are familiar ground, and older systems are rarely the obstacle people expect them to be.

What does a project like this typically cost?

It depends on scope, and the figures are fixed before you commit. An AI readiness assessment is £3,000 and takes a week. Design and build of a first version starts at £5,000, and a full build from £15,000. Every project is quoted at a fixed scope and a fixed price, with payment split across milestones, so it lands alongside your cash flow and nothing beyond the current stage is committed.

We cannot pause jobs for a go-live. How is that handled?

It has to work around you, so it is planned that way from the start. Software is delivered in stages, and a new system normally runs alongside the existing process until the people using it are confident. Cutover is scheduled around your programme rather than ours, and the old method stays available until it is clearly no longer needed. Site teams are shown the tool on their own jobs rather than in a classroom.

Can it produce the evidence a client or auditor asks for?

That is usually the point of the build. Photographs, timestamps, certificates and sign-offs are captured as the work happens and held together against the job, so a request for evidence becomes an export rather than a week of searching. Formats are built to match what your clients and accreditation bodies ask for in practice, because those differ. Nothing has to be reconstructed later, because it was captured at the time.

Do we own the software, or are we renting it?

You own it. All code and intellectual property transfers to you on payment, so what has been built is yours to keep, host, change or hand to another developer. There is no charge per user and no increase when your turnover grows. Continued support is available and many clients take it, but it is not a condition of keeping what has been built. Your data stays yours and exports in standard formats.

Software and AI for Construction and Property

What we build for construction and property

The way a job gets run, recorded and invoiced is different in every business, which is why the same software rarely suits two of them. We build bespoke: whatever your work needs, on site or in the office, designed from scratch around how you already do it.

Site apps for field teams

Forms, checks and sign-offs still happen on paper or in a message thread, because most software is too heavy to use in a van or on scaffolding. We build site apps that work offline, in a few taps, and send what is captured into the office the same day.
Compliance records and evidence trails

Certificates, inspections and response times have to be produced on demand, and the golden thread and Awaab's Law both come down to dated, photographed proof. We build systems that hold that evidence in order and produce it in the format your client asks for.
Accreditation and document management

The same insurance certificates, waste licences and trade registrations get re-uploaded to CHAS, to client portals and to every pre-qualification questionnaire. We build document systems that keep one current copy of each, warn you before anything expires and send out whatever a client or an assessor requests.
Applications, valuations and retentions

Applications for payment, valuations, variations and retentions move through spreadsheets and email, and a missed date costs real money. We build workflows that carry each application through to payment, keep the supporting paperwork with it and tell you what is due, from whom and when.
Integrations with your accounts system

Sage, Xero, CIS deductions, the surveyor's spreadsheet and whatever the maintenance team uses each hold part of the picture, and someone re-enters information between them. We connect them, so job costs, invoices and deductions line up without anyone typing anything twice, and the figures agree at month end.
Client and resident-facing portals

Clients, residents and managing agents want to see where a job has reached without ringing the office, and tenders increasingly ask for it. We design and build portals and apps that show them the position directly, in your branding, which takes those calls off your team.

Our services

Built with construction teams

A few projects we're proud to share, each one advancing our mission to raise the bar and build a better digital future with our clients.

WeSnag

A major UK construction company ran snagging on spreadsheets, paper checklists and manual follow-ups, which could not scale to dozens of contractors, hundreds of units and thousands of defects. CodeLeap built a platform digitising the whole defect lifecycle, replacing hundreds of hours of manual coordination and leading to further work extending it.

NicheCom

NicheCom needed to prove that a surveyor could measure a property and produce a finished floorplan during a single site visit, without redrawing it back at a desk. CodeLeap designed and built the iPad app that makes that possible.

Property developer showcase

A UK proptech startup needed property developers to be able to publish their whole pipeline online, while keeping control over which estate agents could list which units. CodeLeap designed and built the platform that manages both sides of that relationship.

They are incredibly diligent in the quality of work they produce, and go above and beyond when it comes to solving issues faced within the project, and to ensure we meet strict project deadlines.
