In Brisbane the phone is the office for a lot of people. Site supervisors, civil crews, resources contractors, pest and building inspectors, mobile mechanics and allied health practitioners spend their day between sites from Ipswich to the Sunshine Coast, and the paperwork follows them in a ute. An app that captures the job where it happens, with photos, signatures and a time stamp, and raises the claim or invoice before the drive home changes how those businesses run.
NexusByte builds those apps for Brisbane businesses from our Australian base, with the backend and office dashboard built as part of the same system. We work on Brisbane time all year, travel up for discovery and prototype reviews, and stay on as the team that updates the app with every iOS and Android release.
We build native for iPhone and Android or cross-platform depending on the brief, and we design Queensland field apps offline-first from the start, because coverage on a site west of Ipswich or on a mine access road is not something a technician should have to think about.
Apps we build for Brisbane businesses:
The best field apps are designed in the field. Our Brisbane process starts with the people who will hold the phone and ends with the office getting what it needs without asking.
An app a crew still opens in month six is the only kind worth building. Every decision serves that.
Brisbane field apps get used in full sun, with dusty hands, on sites with no coverage and in cars between them. The design has to respect all of that or it will be abandoned by Friday.
Each app ships with the reporting a Brisbane owner, client or auditor will ask for.
Every software project starts with a clear scope and fixed pricing, so you always know what you're getting and when.
We deliver scalable, secure software backed by a transparent process and ongoing support.

Brisbane's app market is split between studios built for funded consumer products and offshore teams reached through a local reseller. A builder, contractor or practice that needs a working app for its own operation sits between those: it needs a serious backend, a focused app and someone answering the phone on Brisbane time for years afterwards. That is the gap we fill.
We build the app around the job, not the job around the app.
A Brisbane site app that cannot raise the claim, a booking app that does not update the roster, a crew app that the office cannot see: these are the failures we design out by building the backend first. Our own booking, quoting and portal software runs on the same stack and shows the approach.
One API and database for the app, the website and the office dashboard, with integrations to accounting, payments and project systems built in.
How we build the backendProject, subcontractor, field and booking systems for South East Queensland businesses, with or without an app in front of them.
Software development in BrisbanePrototypes tested on a real phone with the crews who will use the app, before a line of production code is written.
Our mobile app design principlesNot sure whether to go native or cross-platform? Our cross-platform apps guide sets out the trade-offs, and the full service is described on the mobile app development page.
Brisbane's builders and subcontractors are carrying more concurrent jobs than ever, and the gap between what happens on site and what the office knows is where money leaks. A site app that records the diary, the delays, the variations and the safety walk as they happen, with photos and signatures attached, gives the office a claim it can defend and gives the supervisor an evening without paperwork. For head contractors, a subcontractor app where licences, insurances and SWMS are uploaded and tracked turns compliance from a chase into a dashboard.
Brisbane is the head office for crews working across Queensland's resources, energy and civil projects, and the apps those crews use cannot assume a signal. We design them offline-first: pre-starts, inspections, observations and incident reports are captured on the device, queued and synced when coverage returns, with clear status so the Brisbane office knows what has arrived. Reporting is built for the client and the regulator, not just for the app.
South East Queensland's population is growing faster than almost anywhere in the country, and service businesses from Caboolture to Coomera are feeling it in their phones. A customer app that lets people book, reschedule, pay and see their history cuts the calls reception handles all day; a practitioner-side app lets a mobile physio or vet see the day's run, navigate and complete the visit on the spot. We build both ends on one backend, connected to the practice, accounting and payment systems you already use.
Most Brisbane business apps are workflow and capture apps, and those are usually best built cross-platform: one codebase for iPhone and Android and a lower cost for every future change. Native builds are the right call when the app leans heavily on camera, sensors or background location, or when a specific rugged device is standard on your sites. We make the recommendation after discovery and explain it plainly, and we build for both platforms either way.
Our team is based in Sydney, and we plan Brisbane projects around the Queensland clock: support hours that cover your full day in both halves of the year, standing meetings on Brisbane time and go-live weeks built around your calendar. We travel to Brisbane for discovery with your crews, for the prototype review and for go-live. After launch the developers who built the app handle each iOS and Android release, security updates and the changes real usage suggests, so the app keeps working as the phones in your crews' pockets change.

Laith went out of his way to fix my dad's computer when everything was closed. He came home and spared my dad the trouble of travel
Laith was reliable, helpful and professional - will be recommending.
Absolutely recommend NexusByte and will be first point of contact for any future hardware support and fix services, and hopefully dealing once again with Laith. The entire process was an A+ experience from the moment the call was answered, through to the diagnostic, repair and return of the damaged laptop. Laith is fantastic. In every element of his service and support. Very personable, engaging, knowledgeable and understands the critical importance of service to customers. He provided clear information for every step from booking the appointment, was on time for visiting my home for diagnosis + collection and for return of the item (on a weekend!), for what to expect through the diagnostic works, and for the quoting and payment process. The price for the services provided was very reasonable and affordable. One of the best service experiences I have had and right from 'go'.

Amazing service. Job done, Lovely staff - highly recommend
Laith from Nexus Byte was fantastic from start to finish. He fixed my Sonos internet connectivity problem where others had tried and failed.
