Professional Services
Software that runs your business. Tenders that win work.
Two specialist services from someone who has spent 20+ years inside the electronic security industry: custom SaaS and application development, and senior security estimating. Both delivered by the person who built SecurityEdge Studio.

Two ways I help your business grow.
Whether you need software that removes the manual work holding your team back, or senior estimating capacity to bid more tenders with confidence, you work directly with the person doing the work.

Service 01 · Custom SaaS & Application Development
Industry software, built by someone who has lived the problem.
Most developers spend the first months of a project learning how your business works. I start with two decades of it.
I've run a business, priced the jobs, managed the delivery and chased the margin. I know where spreadsheets break, where information gets re-keyed, and where money quietly leaks between the quote and the invoice. That's exactly what I design software to fix.
You get working software in short, demonstrated stages, built with a modern AI-assisted development workflow, and a developer who speaks your language rather than tech jargon.
Quoting & estimating systems
Catalogue-backed pricing, assemblies, labour calculations and margin control, from first line to final proposal.
SaaS platforms
Multi-user, cloud-based products ready for your team, or ready to sell to your industry on subscription.
Spreadsheet replacement
The workbook your business depends on, rebuilt as a reliable app with one source of truth and no fragile macros.
Dashboards & reporting
Pipeline, margin and job performance at a glance, so management decisions are made on live numbers.
Document automation
Branded proposals, reports and invoices generated as Word and PDF directly from your data. Nothing retyped.
Integrations
Connect to the systems you already run, from security platforms such as Inner Range Inception to Xero and MYOB exports.

Monthly retainer
Service 02 · Electronic Security Estimating
Senior estimating capacity. On demand.
Tenders don't wait for your estimator to be free.
When three tenders land in the same week, the usual choices are to no-bid, rush the number or burn the weekend. Rushed estimates miss devices, under-count labour and leak margin, and a no-bid is revenue you never see.
I price electronic security tenders for integrators as a fixed-price service. You get a defendable number and a client-ready submission. You win the work. Your name goes on it.
Every estimate is built in SecurityEdge Studio, one controlled calculation engine from design inputs to proposal, so the BOM, the management report and the client document always agree.
Costed BOM
Equipment, materials and labour, line by line, from drawing review and specification take-off.
Engineering calculations
Headend sizing, power and battery, CCTV storage, bandwidth and network. Numbers you can defend.
Device-count verification
Tender quantities checked against the drawings, with a marked-up record. Missed devices are found before you commit.
Tender risk review
Commercial risk score, red flags, and a drafted list of exclusions and clarifications.
Management summary
Cost, sell, margin and risk on one PDF page for your internal sign-off.
Client-ready proposal
Professional tender documentation in Word under your logo and branding. Your client never sees my name.
How it works
From drawings to a defendable number.
STEP 01
Send the tender
Drawings, specification and returnable schedules, plus a quick call to confirm scope.
STEP 02
Fixed quote
Priced by tender size and complexity, never hourly, so you know the cost before I start.
STEP 03
I build the estimate
Take-off, system design, engineering checks and pricing, using your rates under NDA or clearly stated assumptions.
STEP 04
Review & handover
A walkthrough of the number, the risks and the assumptions. Then every deliverable is yours.
Deadline this week?
Priority 48-hour turnaround for urgent tenders.
Send the drawings today and get a fixed quote back within the business day. Built for the week when everything lands at once.
