On-site AI
for the team you already have
Software is our core. We pair it with hardware and private, on-premises AI so you get production systems — without sending your data to someone else's cloud.

Technologies we build with
Why on-premises
Intelligence that never leaves the building
Cloud AI is easy until the data is yours. We install private models on hardware you own — in your office, your plant, or your rack.
Your data stays on your network
Customer records, telemetry, and IP never have to leave the building. Cloud APIs are optional, not the default.
Sold as a system, not a subscription
Software, the box it runs on, and the model — specced together, owned by you, handed over as one stack.
Runs when the internet does not
Shop floors, clinics, and air-gapped offices keep working. Inference happens next to the work, not across a WAN.
What we do
Three offers. One team.
Software is the core. Hardware sits beside it. On-premises AI is the specialty we are built around.
Custom Software
The applications, APIs, and automation your team uses every day. Software is the centre of every engagement we take on.
Learn moreHardware Systems
Servers, edge devices, sensors, and industrial kit — specced, staged, and installed with the software they run.
Learn moreOn-Premises AI
Private models on hardware you own. Your data stays on your network — no cloud tenant, no per-token surprise bill.
Learn moreConsulting & Strategy
Not sure what belongs on-prem versus in the cloud? We map the highest-impact work, the hardware it needs, and a build sequence you can fund.
Managed Services
Monitoring, patching, and iteration after go-live — so the software, the box, and the model stay yours without becoming a second job.
Why BuildThings
Built for businesses that need to keep control
Deep software delivery, first-class hardware, and on-prem AI — with commitments we put in writing.
Software first
Every engagement starts with the product your team will use. Hardware and models are chosen to serve that software — not the other way around.
AI that stays on your network
Local models, private inference, air-gapped options. Documents, customers, and IP never have to leave the building.
You own the stack
Code, data, models, and the hardware they run on. No lock-in, no hostage hosting — handover is part of every engagement.
A local team, not a cloud vendor
Based in Perth. You talk directly to the people who spec the rack, write the software, and stand it up on your floor.
Our process
From first call to a system on your floor
A structured path from software design to hardware install — without a big reveal at the end.
Step 1
Free scoping call
A 30-minute call to understand the work, the data, and whether it belongs on-prem. You leave with a clear picture — whether or not you hire us.
Step 2
Fixed-price proposal
Within a week: software scope, a hardware bill of materials if one is needed, and the model choice (local, private API, or both). No hourly ambiguity.
Step 3
Build & integrate
Software ships in short iterations with weekly demos. Hardware is specced and staged in parallel so the stack lands together.
Step 4
Deploy on your premises
We install on your floor or in your rack, hand over credentials and runbooks, and train your team. Optional managed support after that.
Industries
Built for work that cannot leave the building
We work with operators who need software and AI on their own hardware — for privacy, latency, or compliance.
Manufacturing
Shop-floor intelligence, quality, and predictive maintenance that runs next to the line.
Healthcare
Clinical workflow tools and document AI without patient data leaving the network.
Finance
Private models for reporting, risk, and document work inside your own perimeter.
Government
Sovereign, on-prem deployments for agencies that cannot use public cloud AI.
Partnerships
Built with local IT, not instead of it
We partner with Perth IT companies and hardware suppliers. Your existing support stays — we add the software, the on-prem AI, and the install.
Local IT companies
MSPs and in-house IT stay in charge of the network, users, and day-to-day support. We build alongside them — we do not take over the helpdesk.
Hardware suppliers
Servers, GPUs, and edge kit are sourced through local suppliers. We write the spec and stand the system up; they procure, warrant, and replace.
Your operations team
The stack is yours at handover. We train the people who will live with it, whether that is your IT partner or your own staff.
Already have an IT partner? Bring them to the scoping call.
