iOS app development for builders.
The version of iOS app development that building companies still use a year after launch.
Records of Building Work, photos and variations organised as the job runs, ready for the code compliance certificate.
What years of building for building companies taught us.
Builders run multiple sites at once, and the paperwork behind each one grows faster than anyone has time to manage.
Variations, supplier orders, and client updates are the admin layer that determines whether a build stays on schedule.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Apps built around how your staff and customers actually work, with personal information handled under the Privacy Act 2020.
- Serious breaches get reported
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- Consent first, sign-off after
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What iOS app development covers
What changes for building companies after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- Native Swift where performance matters, cross-platform where it does not
- App Store review handled end to end, including the rejections
- Sign in with Apple, push, camera and offline handled properly
- TestFlight builds so your team tries it before your customers do
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No annual contracts
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Questions building companies ask
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy iOS app development into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Swift sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Do you have proof this works for building companies?
Direct case study: We ship to TestFlight in the first fortnight, so you hold the app before you commit to the build. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
Can reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
