What does a technology consultant actually deliver?

Decisions you can build on: an honest read of your current systems, an architecture and roadmap that fit your budget, and clear build-vs-buy calls with the trade-offs priced. Written down, argued for, and ready to hand to whoever builds — us or anyone else.

How is this different from a big consultancy?

The people advising you are the people who've shipped 50+ projects for UK companies — no handoff to a junior bench. Fixed scopes, SME-friendly pricing, and no incentive to recommend a bigger project than you need.

How much does technology consulting cost?

Fixed-scope technical due diligence starts from £4,000; a full architecture and roadmap engagement starts from £8,000. If you want us on call afterwards, ongoing advisory starts from £3,000 a month. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no surprises.

Can you help with digital transformation?

Yes — though we'd start smaller than the phrase suggests. In practice it means picking the one system or process where change pays back fastest, proving it, then extending — rather than a big-bang programme you can't reverse.

Do you build as well as advise?

Yes. Most engagements start with advice, and if a build follows we scope it at a fixed price with milestone payments. You're never obliged to build with us to act on our recommendations.

Technology Consultancy London

Every step, with a team who's done it before

Facing a big technical call — rebuild or refactor, build or buy, which architecture — and every vendor you ask has something to sell. This is independent advice from engineers who ship production software, priced as a fixed scope, with no platform of our own to push. From £4,000.

Frame it

A no-cost call to pin down the decision you're actually facing — a due-diligence review, an architecture rethink, or a straight build-vs-buy call — so the scope we quote matches the question, not a bigger project.
Fixed scope

You get a fixed price before anything starts — technical due diligence from £4,000, a full architecture and roadmap from £8,000. Advice shouldn't run on an open-ended meter, so the scope is set and the number won't move.
The review

We read the actual codebase and infrastructure before forming a view, price each build-vs-buy option with its trade-offs, and rank the risks by likelihood and cost — written up so any team can act on it, us or not.
What next

Act on the report with your own team, bring us in to build at a fixed price with milestone payments, or keep us on call from £3,000 a month for the decisions that follow. You're never obliged to build with us to use the advice.

Early calls that still hold up

Advice matters most before a line of code. The technical choices behind these — a native iPad app talking to laser measures, a white-label platform for frontline workers, a will platform orchestrating DocuSign signing — are why they scaled instead of stalling.

NicheCom, which produces floorplans at scale for estate agents, partnered with CodeLeap to prototype a purpose-built iPad app for their field surveyors.

Our approach

How independent advice gets made here — the method, and the production stacks our recommendations are drawn from rather than vendor brochures.

Build-vs-buy analysis

Licence fees against build cost, lock-in against maintenance — every option priced, and sometimes the answer is 'buy the off-the-shelf tool'.
Architecture review

We read the codebase and the infrastructure before forming a view — opinions about systems we haven't seen aren't worth your money.
Stacks we run in production

The advice draws on stacks we operate for clients: Django backends, React Native apps, infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud — not analyst reports.
Vendor-neutral by design

We don't resell anyone's platform, so a recommendation for Salesforce, SAP or a simple off-the-shelf tool earns us nothing either way.
Risks ranked

Findings arrive ranked by likelihood and cost, each with a practical fix — a list of everything wrong helps nobody decide.
Written to hand over

Reports are written so any competent team can act on them — us or not — which keeps our advice honest.
Fixed scopes

Due diligence from £4,000 with the price agreed upfront — advice shouldn't be an open-ended meter.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.

What our clients are saying

4.9 via Clutch

The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap. Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women's Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.

Charlie CEO, Becon
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. You never feel like you are one of many clients, and they ensure they are always there to help with any need you have, no matter how big or small.

Amelia Parmiter Marketing Manager, AWS - Marble
CodeLeap made me feel like my options were limitless in terms of what could be achieved, which was critical to me as we were creating something very unique. I'm glad I chose Codeleap over a large corporation as the personable approach resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience.

James CEO, Bearable
Working with CodeLeap was a very good experience from both a professional and personal point of view. These people know what they are doing and are both efficient and clever and made a good partner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodeLeap.

CodeLeap adds so much value and goes above and beyond what I expected. CodeLeap's team is very flexible with all the different requests we've put in front of them. They've also been great with the whole business side of things, and being able to forecast for this industry is really helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with their work — they've been incredibly helpful.
