ConTech,
site-ready.
Site-management apps, BIM integrations, defect logs, snagging tools, safety and compliance — built for muddy hands and intermittent 4G as much as for the boardroom dashboard.
Construction app development
at a glance.
Magora is a London software house that builds construction apps for UK contractors, developers, surveyors and ConTech startups: site diaries, snagging and defect logs, inspections, H&S and CDM compliance, timesheets and BIM-connected dashboards. A first release typically takes 6–8 weeks, and you own the code.
£11,000–£34,000 for a first release
That was the range in our 2026 project estimates, with a median of about £25,000. Product Discovery starts from £3,000. See what 12 real projects cost or estimate yours in the calculator.
First release in 6–8 weeks
A free working prototype in 5–10 working days, Discovery in two weeks, then a first release built by two or three developers. Larger platforms follow in phases.
From £49/hour per developer
£65–£70/hour for a full team with QA and product ownership. You own the code, designs and IP. More on app development in London and bespoke software development.
Construction software
we ship.
Site-management apps, BIM integrations, defect logs, snagging tools, safety and compliance — built for muddy hands and intermittent 4G as much as for the boardroom dashboard.
Site management apps
Tasks, RFIs, daily reports — offline-first iOS / Android for site teams in places without reliable 4G.
BIM integrations
IFC, Revit, Navisworks — feeds and viewers that don't crash the iPad halfway through a tower.
Defects & snagging
Photo capture, voice notes, GPS pins, status workflow — the snag list the site manager will actually use.
Safety & compliance
Permit-to-work, toolbox talks, incident reports — ISO 45001 / CDM-aware, audit-ready.
Procurement & supply
Materials ordering, just-in-time delivery, supplier portals — connected to ERP, not faxed.
Owner / FM platforms
Asset registers, maintenance schedules, building data dashboards — post-handover, the long tail.
How we build successful
ConTech platforms.
From the start of the journey we ensure transparency. Plan, roadmap, weekly demos. You're in the room at every stage.
Product development consultation
Transparency from day one. We discuss the plan of action and build a precise app deployment roadmap. At each stage of development, we encourage you to participate in discussions.
User-oriented design
A talented team of designers creates an accurate user-journey map — predicting intuitive nature and functionality. User-friendly interfaces built on extensive research.
Agile development
A decade of experience in Web, iOS and Android development. Customised bespoke solutions, delivered in a collaborative environment — your boldest ideas, realised.
A site-ready ConTech app,
in six steps.
The same six-stage process we run on every engagement, adapted to construction constraints: site conditions and offline use, asset and maintenance records, and the systems your contractors already work in. A first release (MVP) typically ships in 6–8 weeks; the ranges below are for a full platform.
User research
1 – 2 weeksStrategic processes define user roles — driver, dispatcher, warehouse worker, ops manager — and run up to 10 impactful interviews. Insights become a guaranteed roadmap.
Product scope
1 – 2 weeksWe determine feature priority, set timelines, design interactions and define the logistics behind the app. Basic prototype first — adding functionality later.
Design
2 – 3 weeksSoftware architecture schemes, UI mockups, graphic imagery — reflecting your business identity. Interactive prototype for testing and presentation.
Development
10 – 20 weeksAgile development transforms the process into a customer-driven journey. Iterative approach, collaborative mindset, change embraced seamlessly.
Testing
2 – 3 weeksFrom feature-rich development to rigorous staging. Each step a precision move toward a seamless user experience. QA as continuous guardians.
Deployment
1 weekPlanning, version control, testing, cutting-edge strategies like canary releases. Swift, trouble-free installations with continuous monitoring.
