Custom software for Triangle businesses
When none of the ten tools fits, I build the one that does: a single tool around a single problem in your business, at a fixed price of $1,500 to $25,000. You own it.
- Fixed price, paid once
- Read-only. Can't touch your books
- Runs next to your old way for a month
Three kinds of custom build
Internal tool
A web app that replaces a spreadsheet, an Access file or a paper process. Built around how your business already works.
$5,000–$25,000
Report dashboard
The reports your software won't give you, read from Jobber, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks or similar, with Excel export.
$3,000–$8,000
Integration fix
Two tools that should talk and don't: photos into quotes, job data into a report, or a fragile Zapier setup replaced.
$1,500–$10,000How a custom build runs
Audit
Two hours at your business. I watch the problem happen. $750, credited to the build.
One fixed price
A written quote for one tool that fixes one problem, before any work starts.
Side by side
The new tool runs next to your old way for a month, so nothing is lost if it's wrong.
Kept running
A flat care plan covers updates when Jobber, Google or QuickBooks change.

How much does custom software cost?
Most builds run $1,500 to $25,000, fixed and paid once. A report dashboard is $3,000 to $8,000, an integration fix is $1,500 to $10,000 and an internal tool is $5,000 to $25,000.
How do you set a fixed price on something custom?
The $750 audit comes first. I see the problem at your business, then quote one price in writing before any work starts. The $750 comes off that price.
Who owns the software?
You do. There are no per-user fees and no license to renew.
What won't you build?
Anything that takes payments, moves money, runs payroll, writes into your accounting system or stores your customers' logins. I also don't build consumer mobile apps.
What if we need something bigger than $25,000?
I'll say so and either break it into stages that each stand on their own or point you to a larger Triangle firm.
What happens after it's built?
It runs next to your old way for a month. After that a flat care plan keeps it working when the software around it changes.
