Services · Mobile app development · Interior design apps
We handle interior design app development Birmingham firms use to win and deliver home projects: consultation booking, photo based room planning, quotes the client can accept on a phone, fitter scheduling, deposits and aftercare. It suits design studios, kitchen and bathroom showrooms, furnishing companies and property firms working across the city, from Victorian terraces in Moseley and Kings Heath to Jewellery Quarter conversions and new apartments around Snow Hill and Digbeth.
Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and our team of 80+ sits in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. We do not have a Birmingham office. We work remotely with clients in the Midlands, holding every workshop, review and demo by video call.

What the app can include
Most Birmingham interiors firms we speak to are busy rather than short of leads. The problem is what happens after the enquiry: consultations rebooked three times, quotes sent as PDFs that sit unread, fitters arriving at a house in Edgbaston when the worktop is still at the depot, and landlords in Selly Oak chasing furniture before students arrive. An app helps when it fixes those handoffs. The features below cover the customer side, the staff and fitter side and the office dashboard. We pick the order with you, because a two person design studio and a showroom with its own fitting crews need different first releases. If you are shortlisting interior design app developers Birmingham businesses can rely on, ask each one which of these they would leave out, and why.
Customers choose a showroom appointment, a video consultation or a home visit, and the app offers only slots where a designer is free and the travel between postcodes is realistic. Intake questions about the room, budget band and timing are answered before the appointment, so the designer arrives knowing whether it is a loft bedroom in Harborne or a full ground floor in Sutton Coldfield.
Fewer wasted visits and better prepared first meetings.
Customers photograph each wall, add rough sizes and mark windows, radiators and sockets. On phones with depth sensors, a quick scan produces a basic plan. The designer refines it in the dashboard, so a lot of measuring and guessing is done before anyone drives across the city.
The first proposal starts from the customer's actual room.
Designers assemble a proposal from your product ranges, labour items and design fees, with images and options laid out room by room. The customer reads it on their phone, asks questions against individual lines and accepts with a digital signature. Revisions keep their history, so nobody argues about which version was agreed.
Quotes get read, discussed and accepted inside the app.
Fitters, decorators, electricians and plumbers see their jobs in order, with drawings, access notes and the materials that should already be on site. They mark arrival, upload completion photos and flag problems. The office sees the whole week at a glance and can move jobs when a delivery slips.
Crews turn up when the materials do, not before.
Birmingham's Clean Air Zone covers the city centre inside the A4540 Middleway, and older vans pay a daily charge to enter. The app records which vehicles in your fleet are compliant and warns the scheduler when a non compliant van is assigned to an address inside the ring, such as a Jewellery Quarter flat.
Unplanned zone charges stop appearing on the fleet bill.
For landlords around the universities and city centre build to rent schemes, the app offers furnishing packs by room type, with inventory lists, install dates and condition photos. Bulk orders for several properties can be raised together, and each house keeps its own record for deposit and damage disputes.
Furnished lets are ready for move in day.
Birmingham households speak many languages, and the person making decisions is not always the person filling in the form. Notifications, care guides and key screens can be offered in the languages your customers actually use, such as Urdu, Punjabi or Polish, with content managed from the dashboard rather than hard coded.
More of the family can follow and approve the project.
Product ranges from your suppliers sit in one searchable catalogue with finishes, lead times and stock notes. Designers see what can arrive before the fitting date and what will hold the job up, and the office can update a range once instead of in five spreadsheets.
Designs are built from products that can actually be delivered.
Deposits on acceptance, payments on delivery and balances on completion are requested at the stages your contract sets. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a bank payment through your chosen provider, and receipts are stored with the project.
Cash arrives at each milestone without chasing.
After handover the app sends care instructions for fabrics, worktops and finishes, logs any warranty claims with photos, and asks satisfied customers for a review at a sensible moment. Repeat customers can book their next room from the same account.
Finished jobs keep producing referrals and repeat work.
Who this is for
The value of an app depends on the shape of your business. A studio selling design time needs a polished consultation and proposal experience. A showroom with fitting crews needs scheduling that copes with real life. Property firms need volume, repeatable packs and evidence. These are the four situations we see most in the city, and the first release for each looks quite different. Plenty of Birmingham businesses straddle two of them, for example a showroom that also furnishes rental flats for local landlords, and the app can serve both sides from a single dashboard without confusing either group of customers.
Your income depends on turning enquiries into paid design work. The app takes the booking, collects room photos and a brief, presents the scheme and handles the design fee. Interior design consultation app development Birmingham studios ask us about usually starts here, with a tight first release around booking, intake and proposals, then procurement and site tools once the studio sees how clients use it.
Start with the step where most enquiries currently go quiet.
You have a shop floor, designers, a warehouse or supplier deliveries, and fitting teams on the road. The app joins those parts: showroom appointments, quotes accepted on the customer's phone, delivery windows, fitter schedules and completion sign off. Fitter apps work offline, because signal in some older Birmingham houses with thick walls is unreliable.
Student houses near Selly Oak and Edgbaston and apartments in the city centre turn over on fixed dates. You need furnishing packs, bulk orders, install schedules and inventories with photos. Where a property is a licensed house in multiple occupation, the app can hold the licence details and the fire safety documents for furniture you supply.
Every item is recorded by property and by room.
Builders who renovate family homes in places like Moseley, Bournville and Hall Green often add design and furnishing to raise the value of each job. The app lets the customer see design choices, approve variations, follow progress through photos and pay at each stage, while your site manager runs trades from the same system.
How we work together
A fixed scope first release is the usual starting point: the features are written down, so cost and dates follow from them. After launch, a monthly retainer covers fixes, operating system updates and new features. Firms with a long roadmap, such as a showroom group adding branches across the Midlands, sometimes take a dedicated team instead. The main cost drivers are the number of user types, offline needs for fitters, how many systems we integrate with and how much custom design the customer experience needs. Whichever model you choose, you see the work at every demo and can change priorities between sprints.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Apps are usually built in Flutter or React Native, with a web dashboard for the office. We select the stack around your current tools, such as Xero or QuickBooks, Google or Microsoft calendars and your suppliers' data feeds, and around who will look after it later. Hosting is set up in your own cloud account, so the platform stays yours if you change suppliers.

It depends on the scope, and we commit to dates only once that is written.
A focused booking and proposal app is quicker to build than a platform with fitter scheduling, stock and payments. In discovery we list the features, roles and integrations, and estimate each one. You then choose what goes in the first release, and we put the delivery dates in writing alongside the scope. Progress is shown at every sprint demo, so slippage is visible early rather than at the end.
