The problem

Expertise lost in daily chores

The client helps people realise their housing dreams, and its subject-matter experts are among the best in their field. But their days were consumed by project management: tracking engagements, chasing tasks and deadlines, and keeping documents in order across scattered tools. The expertise that clients paid for was being diluted by the administration around it.

Building codes are complex, and checking work against them is exactly the kind of task that should be supported by software rather than done by hand every time.

How we solved it

Untangling the work, with AI inside the application

We began by mapping how the practice actually ran its engagements, then built a system around that flow rather than around a generic template. The result is a single workspace for clients, engagements, tasks, deadlines and documents.

  • One record per client, so a partner can see where every engagement stands.
  • Tasks and deadlines that are visible to the people who own them.
  • AI support built natively into the app, used where it supports the adviser's judgement.
  • Complex building-code logic implemented in Python, with the rest of the platform in JavaScript.

The project went live in 75 days.
