We’re here to make your project (much) easier

Our story

At ProperGate, we understand the problems posed by complex construction projects.

We know the thrill and the buzz of construction, and we know the headaches and frustration – because we’ve experienced it all first-hand ourselves.

But we’re also experts in digitalisation.

So we know how to model all that messy, real-world complexity – and translate it into optimised, digital processes, where all the hard work is done for you.

We also have an in-depth understanding of the needs of the many different job roles. Meaning everyone on a project can get access to exactly the right information they need, in the right format, at the right time.

So that you can focus on the part that you’re good at.

Building things.
