BuildBeam was created to help organisations build reliable, maintainable, and well-designed digital systems. We aim to make it easier for people to deliver useful outcomes using modern tools and clear thinking.

With over 20 years of experience working across the public and private sectors, our founder saw first-hand how technology projects can succeed, or fail, based on how well teams work together and how clearly problems are understood. BuildBeam was set up to do this work properly.

We help teams build solutions using cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, and we also work with Microsoft tools like Power Apps and Office automation. We care about making things that work, not just getting them delivered.

What We Do

BuildBeam works closely with clients to understand their goals and deliver practical tools and systems. We’re not here to sell trends or oversimplify problems, we aim to help people make good use of technology.

Our work includes helping all sizes of business together with education and government organisations build cloud-based systems, automate data processes, and connect different teams and tools together to improve their work.

Our Experience

• Cloud solution design and delivery (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Data platforms and integrations (Snowflake, DynamoDB, S3, Athena)
• Microsoft automation (Power Apps, Office 365)
• Infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Terraform)
• Identity and access systems (Okta, AWS IAM, Lake Formation)
• Reporting and dashboards (Looker, Tableau, Power BI)
• Front-end and back-end development using current tools and frameworks

Why We Do It

Many organisations struggle to get consistent value from their technology. BuildBeam exists to change that. We enjoy solving hard problems and improving how people work, whether that’s fixing a process, upgrading an old system, or helping teams collaborate more effectively.

During our past work, we saw the positive impact that clear, thoughtful engineering can have, not just on business outcomes, but on the day-to-day experience of people trying to do their jobs.

We bring that mindset to every project. We want our clients to feel confident in the systems they’re building, and to be supported by them, not slowed down or locked in.

How We Work

• Respect for people: We focus on the needs of real users and teams, not just system requirements.
• Clear goals: Every piece of work should support a genuine need or problem.
• Maintainability: We aim to leave things better than we found them, with reusable patterns and clear documentation.
• Honesty: We communicate clearly and work transparently.
• Realistic use of AI and automation: We apply tools where they help, not because they’re new or exciting.
