Codenest
Custom software studio

Software built around how your business actually works.

We design, build and maintain custom apps, CRMs and AI automation for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. Fixed scope, fixed estimate, no surprises.

02 / How we work

Five steps. No mystery.

You always know what's being built this week, what it costs, and what comes next.

01 — Week 1

Discovery workshop

We sit with the people who do the work, map the current process, and find where time and money leak.

02 — Week 2

Scope & fixed estimate

A written scope, a phased plan, and a price you can take to your board. If we can't do it well, we say so.

03 — Weeks 3–4

Design & clickable prototype

You click through the real screens before a line of production code is written. Changes are cheap here.

04 — Ongoing

Build in two-week increments

Working software every two weeks on your own staging site, plus a short demo and a plain-English update.

05 — After launch

Launch & long-term care

Training, handover documentation, monitoring and a roadmap for the next six months. You own the code.

04 / Engagements

Three ways to work with us

Every engagement starts with a paid discovery week, credited back if you continue.

Fixed-scope project

Fixed price per phase
Quoted after discovery

Best when the outcome is clear: one app, one integration, one manual process to replace.

Most common

Dedicated squad

Monthly, rolling terms
Quoted after discovery

For roadmaps rather than single deliverables, where priorities will change as you learn.

Care & improvement

Monthly, cancel anytime
Quoted after discovery

For software already live — ours or inherited from someone else.

05 / Common questions
Who owns the code?

You do — outright, from day one. Repositories are in your organisation and we hand over infrastructure, documentation and credentials at launch.

How accurate are your estimates?

We estimate after discovery rather than before it, which is why the number holds. If scope grows, we price the change before starting the work — never after.

Can you work with our in-house team?

Often. We can embed alongside your developers, follow your review process, or take a self-contained slice and stay out of the way.

What happens if we stop working together?

You keep everything and we run a handover: architecture walkthrough, runbooks, and two weeks of support for whoever takes over.

Do you sign NDAs and security reviews?

Yes. We work under NDA by default and complete vendor security questionnaires as part of onboarding.
