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.
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.
Cloud applications
Web platforms built on Microsoft Azure and the modern .NET stack — performant, secure, and ready to scale with you.
Database design
Relational schemas built around how the data really behaves, from prototype through to long-running production systems.
Bespoke web apps
Workflow tools, line-of-business systems and intranets fitted to the way your organisation actually operates.
Mobile applications
Consumer mobile apps under our MemoLeap brand, plus mobile companion apps for our enterprise products.
Hybrid & on-premises
Cloud is rarely a clean slate. We work pragmatically with the systems you already run on Microsoft Windows.
Long-term partnership
The software we build for clients is still running — and being improved — many years after launch.
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.
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
MemoLeap — our new mobile app brand.
MemoLeap is our consumer-facing brand of beautifully designed educational mobile apps. Built around the science of memory, designed for learners of every age — from curious children to adults returning to a subject. Launching with MemoLeap Multiplication Tables, with MemoLeap Spelling close behind.
- Spaced repetition based on real cognitive research
- MemoLeap Multiplication Tables — available now
- MemoLeap Spelling — coming soon
- Privacy-first design, including a dedicated children's mode
Education systems for local authorities and schools.
Our long-running education management products help local authorities and schools track music lesson programmes, student instrument hire, and the work of school governors across communities.
- Music class & lesson tracking with instrument hire
- School governor database with term & responsibility tracking
- Cloud and on-premises deployment
- Built around the realities of UK public-sector IT
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.
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.
A 'can-do' reputation
Clients and partners have described us this way for two decades. We aim to keep earning it on every project.
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.
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.
Where our work has gone deepest.
We help any sector that lives or dies by its data — but three in particular have shaped our products and our thinking.
Construction
Project management, site reporting, sub-contractor administration and compliance — at the scale UK contractors actually run at.
- Cost & progress reporting
- Compliance workflows
- Mobile site capture
Education
From local-authority music programmes and governor databases to consumer learning apps under MemoLeap, education is now a defining strand of our work.
- School music programmes
- Governor management
- Mobile learning apps
Public & private data work
For organisations across other sectors, we design databases, reporting layers and bespoke web tools that turn messy operational data into something dependable.
- Bespoke databases
- Reporting & analytics
- Internal web tools
