About Charlbury Technology

Technical expertise for PropTech and geospatial products

Charlbury Technology delivers technical consultancy and product leadership to PropTech organizations and real estate firms developing geospatial or location-based technology.

Whether you need delivery of specialized capabilities your team can't build, or embedded senior leadership to accelerate your roadmap, we provide the deep domain expertise that's difficult to hire in-house.

Our expertise centers on real estate technology and location intelligence, with a proven track record spanning urban planning platforms, property analytics, risk modelling, and spatial data applications. This specialization extends naturally to adjacent sectors where geospatial thinking creates competitive advantage: construction tech, infrastructure planning, and location-based B2B services.

What makes us different

Most technical consultancies understand software. We understand software and the property domain.

We bring 20 years of experience spanning urban masterplanning software (co-founder of CityCAD, the first major CAD platform for conceptual urban design), complex asset management systems, mobile device apps, B2B solutions and integrations, and award-winning location intelligence tools used globally.

We can offer a combination of software product leadership with genuine domain expertise in architectural design, urban systems, construction product technology, and spatial analysis, having worked with both the public and private sectors.

This means we grasp your business problems, not just your technical requirements.

How we help

We work in two ways:

  • Technical product development - we build specialized geospatial and location intelligence capabilities that become competitive advantages - site selection tools, mapping platforms, asset valuation systems, spatial risk analysis and portfolio optimization.
  • Embedded product leadership - we join your team as fractional senior product or programme manager to define your PropTech roadmap, make architecture decisions, unblock delivery, and develop your internal team.

Both approaches focus on measurable business outcomes and building capabilities that create competitive advantage.
