Engineer-led. Melbourne-built.
Custom software development in Melbourne, built by the engineers you talk to.
Internal tools, client portals, integrations and legacy migrations for mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, financial planners and law firms. Fixed-scope sprints, one fixed quote, and your client data kept in Australia. You own the code and the IP.

What we build
Software that removes a specific piece of admin from your practice, connected to the tools you already run.
Internal tools
The spreadsheet that runs your practice, rebuilt as software: job boards, approval queues, dashboards and admin screens that talk to the systems you already pay for.
Client portals
Secure portals where clients upload documents, sign, track progress and ask questions, so your team stops chasing by email and phone.
Integrations
Two systems that should talk and do not. CRM to accounting, aggregator to document store, phone system to case file. We build the connection and keep it running.
Legacy and PHP migrations
The old PHP or Access application nobody dares touch, moved to a maintained stack in stages, with the data carried over and the business still running throughout.
MVPs
Working software your first users can log in to: web app, API, integrations, the lot. Scoped tight so the first release ships fast, then extended in fixed-scope rounds.
How projects run
Fixed-scope sprints. You know the scope, the price and the date before each one starts.
Discovery call
A 30-minute call with Lucky, our lead engineer. We map the problem, the riskiest unknowns and the smallest release worth shipping. You get a fixed-price estimate within 48 hours.
Fixed-scope sprint plan
The build is cut into sprints with a written scope for each. One price for the first release, agreed before we write a line of code. No hourly billing.
Build in the open
Daily commits in your repositories you can watch. Decisions and tests are documented as we go, not reconstructed afterwards.
Live within 2 weeks of kickoff, or it's free.
The first release goes live on your infrastructure inside that window. We hand over the code, the documentation and the deployment.
Extend in sprints
Each later round is scoped and quoted the same way, so you decide how far the product goes and what it costs before each step.
Your data stays in Australia
Every build runs on infrastructure you control. You choose how far that goes.
Your own servers
The software lives inside your network. Client files never leave the building. The strongest position for firms whose policy says data does not go outside.
AWS Sydney
Australian-resident cloud, under Australian law, without running your own hardware. For most practices this is the practical default.
Fully local AI
Where the software uses a language model, we can run it on hardware you own with no third-party AI provider in the path. LegalBox is built this way.
Across every option the same rule holds: your data is never used to train third-party models. More on the trade-offs on our data sovereignty page.
Fixed quote after the call
Every build is scoped per project. You get one number covering the first release before we write a line of code, and each later sprint is quoted the same way. No hourly billing. Automation and AI agent projects have published pricing.
We document development work so your accountant can assess any R&D Tax Incentive claim.
R&D Tax Incentive eligibility depends on your specific activities and the rules in force at the time. Proposed changes take effect from 1 July 2028 if passed. This is general information, not tax advice. Confirm your position with a registered tax agent.
Custom software FAQ
Internal tools, client portals, integrations between the systems you already use, MVPs for new products, and migrations off legacy or PHP applications. Most of our work is for mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, financial planners and law firms, so we already know the aggregator, CRM and practice-management systems those businesses run on.
Every build is scoped per project after a discovery call, and you get one fixed quote before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Automation and AI agent projects have published pricing on our pricing page.
You do. Full source code, your repositories, running on Australian-resident cloud or your own servers. We set the engagement up that way from day one.
On infrastructure you control: your own servers, the AWS Sydney region, or fully local with the language model running on hardware you own and no third-party AI provider in the path. Your data is never used to train third-party models.
