Software &Platform Engineering
Innovative software and digital platforms engineered for complex industries
Software and platform engineering is one of our core capabilities. We design, develop, deploy and deliver the products and platforms that power construction manufacturing — turning complex, multi-stakeholder workflows into connected, traceable digital processes, spanning cloud platforms, design-stage AI and production systems.
Software and platform engineering is one of our core capabilities. We are a genuine product organisation: we own our codebase, architecture and roadmap, and do not outsource core development — the people who design our platforms are the people who extend, integrate and support them.
How We Build
The same approach on every product: understand the operating model first, build in controlled increments with continuous validation, prove each release on live projects before wider release, and operate what we deliver. Delivery runs in three stages — a mature platform that meets most requirements out of the box, configuration to fit how a client actually works, and roadmap development where genuinely new capability is needed.
Technology
.NET Core and Angular; native .NET MAUI applications across iOS, Android and Windows; Microsoft Azure and SQL Server; an API-first microservice architecture; direct integration with fabrication equipment via industry data standards (BVBS); and Python machine-learning pipelines with deep-learning computer vision for our AI products. Self-owned hosting on Azure, deployable as a dedicated single-tenant environment where required.
Architecture
Built for complex, multi-stakeholder operations: many organisations, projects and sub-projects in one platform with data and access partitioned at every level; configurable roles, actors and workflows; full-lifecycle chain of custody; standards and embodied-carbon validation; QR digital passports and an auditable golden thread. API-first integration with enterprise ERP, MES, quality and BIM systems using open standards (IFC, JSON, XML).
Platform Evolution
Rebar Cloud is built on a product lineage proven across landmark projects, re-architected onto a cloud-native, API-first, multi-product-domain foundation. That same foundation is the Digital Construction Cloud, built to host further construction domains as distinct products, with Rebar Cloud as its first live domain.
Cross-Industry Capability
Our software capability is domain-independent. Alongside the construction platform we have built enterprise ERPs, national-scale digital certification platforms across the UK, UAE, Australia and New Zealand (150+ manufacturers), an Innovate UK-supported AI/computer-vision platform, and production systems across IoT, insurance and fintech.
