Meet the founders Our Story
Deep Space was born out of the same problems every builder knows too well. Projects slowed down, not because teams were not working hard, but because the systems around them never worked together.
Ricky spent years on live sites as an engineer, before helping grow an Australian job management startup into a global unicorn.
Luke and Michael worked hands-on in design and BIM delivery, where they saw project information scattered across too many systems.
Each of us had lived the same story: mid-sized builders forced to juggle 5 to 27 disconnected tools, relying on spreadsheets to stitch everything together.
We realised that the issue was not effort, it was inefficiency. Builders were spending more time managing tools than managing jobs. That had to change.
2000 - 2020
Lessons from the field
Deep Space was born out of the same problems every builder knows too well. Projects slowed down, not because teams were not working hard, but because the systems around them never worked together.
2023
A new vision takes shape
We set out to build a construction operating system that connected everything in one place. No more chasing numbers across different apps. No more wasted hours reconciling data. Just builders free to focus on delivery.
2024
Laying the foundations
We acquired CodeSafe, a safety platform trusted for over 12 years by more than 200,000 users. From that foundation, we began shaping Deep Space into a single system that connects preconstruction, procurement, commercial, scheduling, delivery, HSEQ, and reporting.
2025
Early adoption in ANZ
Within six months, we launched Deep Space into pre-release with mid-sized commercial builders across Australia and New Zealand. The platform already includes subcontractor and client portals, budget registers, claims, variations, retentions, procurement schedules, site diaries, RFIs, and real-time dashboards.
Today
Built for builders
Deep Space is a construction operating system that manages project financials and delivery in one place. With fixed pricing, hands-on implementation, and AI assistance, Deep Space helps every mid-size builder scale without drowning in admin.

Deep Space is now a complete construction operating system that brings financials and delivery together in one place. With fixed pricing, hands-on implementation, and AI assistance, it helps mid-sized builders scale without drowning in admin.
Why we exist
We believe builders should not need 20 different apps to finish one project. Deep Space brings everything together, giving PMs, CAs, site teams, clients, and subcontractors one connected source of truth. Less friction. Fewer disputes. Faster projects.
