About

You already know how it should run. We build the system that makes it real.

You have the whole operation in your head: what should happen, in what order, who needs to know. We turn that into something the business actually runs on, so it stops depending on you remembering. Sometimes that means building software. Sometimes it means changing the shape of the work so less software is needed.

What we do

We build the system that runs your operation, with the people who will use it, against their real data. It does three things at once. Read about our 3-phase method →

◇

Run it

Intake, data entry, the weekly grind. It just happens, so nobody does by hand what software should.

◆

See it

Every request, every status, every number in one place. No more chasing people for updates.

◈

Show it

Your clients and owners see you are on it, without the phone calls. That is what wins the next contract.

Who we work with

SMB decision-makers, founders, ops managers, property managers, architects, builders. People who don't have time for a six-week discovery phase, and who want to see something working before they sign a longer engagement.

Tools we've shipped are in daily use at:

The team

Founders

Three co-founders. The people you talk to are the people building the thing.

Open source

We publish the reference data behind our tools. conversion-tables is an MIT-licensed dataset of exact unit conversion factors, architectural and engineering drawing scale factors, and fractional inch tables, as JSON and CSV. Every constant is derived from its legal definition rather than copied, and each table records whether it is exact or conventional. It is the data underneath Arch Convert, free for anyone to use.

Where we're based

Vancouver, British Columbia · Auckland, New Zealand.
