Cloud · Database · Web Applications

We build solutions that get the work done.

Building on IT Limited has been designing and developing data-driven applications since 2004. Based in Canary Wharf, we help organisations across construction, education and the public sector turn complex information into solutions people actually use.

— What we do

A small team, a wide bench.

From cloud-native web platforms to bespoke databases and the mobile apps behind our MemoLeap brand, we cover the engineering disciplines a modern data project needs — and we cover them ourselves.

i.

Cloud applications

Web platforms built on Microsoft Azure and the modern .NET stack — performant, secure, and ready to scale with you.

ii.

Database design

Relational schemas built around how the data really behaves, from prototype through to long-running production systems.

iii.

Bespoke web apps

Workflow tools, line-of-business systems and intranets fitted to the way your organisation actually operates.

iv.

Mobile applications

Consumer mobile apps under our MemoLeap brand, plus mobile companion apps for our enterprise products.

v.

Hybrid & on-premises

Cloud is rarely a clean slate. We work pragmatically with the systems you already run on Microsoft Windows.

vi.

Long-term partnership

The software we build for clients is still running — and being improved — many years after launch.

— Our products

Three product families. One way of working.

Whether it's a national construction contractor or a parent helping a child revise, the principle is the same: build software that's a pleasure to use and a quiet, reliable presence in the background.

Construction

A management system built around the site, not the spreadsheet.

Our Construction Management System brings projects, sub-contractors, plant, costs and compliance into a single cloud platform. Field-tested with major UK contractors and refined continuously since launch.

  • Live cost and progress reporting
  • Sub-contractor and supplier management
  • Mobile-friendly site reporting
  • Continuous earned value analysis

— About us

Established in 2004. Still here, still improving.

We're a small team in Canary Wharf with a deep bench of practical experience. We pick up the phone, we know our codebases, and we've stayed close enough to our products to keep refining them year after year.

i.

Microsoft, used pragmatically

We've worked across the Microsoft stack since the beginning — on-premises and in the cloud — and we know when to use what.

ii.

A 'can-do' reputation

Clients and partners have described us this way for two decades. We aim to keep earning it on every project.

iii.

Built for longevity

Our oldest client systems have been running and evolving for well over a decade. Software that lasts is software designed with care from day one.

iv.

Reachable, accountable, in London

You'll talk to people who actually built and maintain the system you're using. No layers, no offshoring, no mystery.
