Why a 5-day Build Sprint?
Traditional development takes months. Hiring developers takes weeks. Getting estimates takes forever. Build Sprints skip all of that and deliver working code in 5 days.
Designer-led AI development
Senior UX and product designers direct AI tools to build your product. AI handles the code. Designers handle the thinking.
Start date, end date
Crazy, huh? When you schedule a 5-day Build Sprint you get a start date and an end date. Multiple sprints? No problem.
Fixed price
Working with Precode means an end to mystery pricing structures. Our pricing is simple and transparent.
Schedule us in
Because we deliver on time, every time, it means you can schedule development and engineering resource with confidence.
What is a typical challenge?
Startups need to validate ideas before raising their next round. Scale-ups need features shipped faster than their internal team can move. Enterprises need proof-of-concepts without 6-month procurement cycles.
DESIGN
Zero to one
You've got an idea or validated designs. You need working code to test with real users.
IMPROVE
Feature addition
Your product exists but you need new functionality shipped without slowing down your core team.
LAUNCH
Concept to MVP
Turn your UX Sprint output into a live product. From Figma to production in one week.
INTEGRATE
Connect + extend
Hook into your existing systems. Connect your CRM, payment processor, or legacy database.
... but what does that actually mean?
Web app design
Build or extend a web application with user authentication, database integration, and responsive design.
Mobile app design
Cross-platform mobile apps using React Native or PWAs that work on iOS and Android.
MVP from designs
Turn your validated UX designs into working, deployed code with real functionality.
Payment integration
Stripe, PayPal, or subscription billing integrated into your product.
API integrations
Connect to third-party services: CRMs, calendars, email platforms, automation tools.
Database migration
Build on top of your existing database or migrate to a modern stack.
Feature sprints
Add new features to existing products: dashboards, admin panels, user roles, workflows.
Technical rescue
Rebuild failing products or refactor legacy code into modern, maintainable systems.
What happens each day?
Build Sprints run on a tight, disciplined schedule. Every day follows the same pattern: build, test, demo, iterate.
Morning standup (with client)
Quick 15-minute call. What got built yesterday, what's getting built today, any feedback or blockers.
Building
The entire sprint team focused on building your product.
Show-and-tell
Every evening you get a working URL and a screen recording. See exactly what got built, test it yourself, give feedback for tomorrow.
Why this actually works
Traditional agencies move slow because they're built for slow. Big teams, long processes, overhead. We're built different. Here's why we can ship in days, not months.
No prep required
Show up with your idea. We'll structure it together.
No account managers
You work directly with the developers writing your code. No middlemen. No telephone game.
No waiting
We're building and shipping every single day. Daily progress updates. You see it happening in real-time.
Designer-led AI development
We combine AI coding tools with experienced product designers who ensure what gets built is what users actually need. Fast execution, thoughtful outcomes.
Battle-tested process
Same structure every time: Day 1 preflight, Days 2-4 building, Day 5 handover. No surprises. No experiments on your dime.
No bullshit
Fixed price. Fixed timeline. If we can't build it in 5 days, we'll tell you upfront it needs 2 sprints.
Don't just build a good product. Build the right product
Ship fast, learn faster
The biggest risk in product development isn't building it wrong. It's building the wrong thing entirely.
A Build Sprint gets you to market in days with working code that real users can test. You learn what actually matters—from real usage data, not stakeholder opinions. You validate your core assumption before spending six months and £100k on a full product.
Start with 3-5 core features. Launch to 50-100 early users. Learn what works. Then scale what's validated, not what you guessed.

How much can you build in 5 days?
Five days goes further than you think—but we're not building Facebook in a week. Here's an honest breakdown of what fits in one sprint versus what needs multiple rounds.
One sprint (5 days)
Single-purpose applications with core functionality. User accounts. Database CRUD operations. Basic workflows. Simple integrations with 1-2 external services. AI features like content generation, simple chatbots, or text analysis. The kind of thing where users can sign up, perform the main action, and see results. Responsive across devices. Deployed and ready to test.
Two sprints (10 days)
Applications with multiple user types and more sophisticated logic. Payment systems. Email automation sequences. File handling. Admin dashboards. Integration with 3-5 external services. AI assistants with context, document analysis, content recommendations, or image generation workflows. Products where different users have different capabilities, money changes hands, or you're orchestrating multiple systems together.
Three+ sprints (15-30 days)
Complex platforms with advanced functionality. Real-time updates. Progressive web apps ready for app stores. Sophisticated permissions and roles. Advanced AI like RAG systems (retrieval augmented generation), multi-agent workflows, custom AI pipelines, or products where AI is the core feature. Products that feel more like SaaS platforms than simple tools. Where the backend orchestration is as complex as the frontend experience.
Mobile apps
We build cross-platform apps using React Native and progressive web apps (PWAs) that work on iOS and Android. These can be submitted to app stores. We don't build native Swift or Kotlin apps—those require specialist mobile developers and longer timelines.

What is the outcome of a Build Sprint?
After 5 days, you walk away with deployed, working code. Not an estimate. Not a roadmap. Not "phase one complete." A live product that users can actually use.
Deployed product
Live on the web, accessible via URL. Real users can sign up and use it.
Full code ownership
GitHub repository with all source code. You own it. Forever.
Ready to extend
Clean, documented code that your team (or we) can build on.
User testing feedback
Report on user testing sessions with conclusions and recommendations.
Video walkthrough
Final screencast of Precode presenting the final deliverables.
All integrations live
Stripe, APIs, databases — everything connected and working.
We play nicely with others
Your existing stack isn't going away. We integrate with the tools and services you're already using.
Stripe for payments. SendGrid for emails. Your existing database. Google Calendar for scheduling. Zapier for automation. Auth0 for login. Whatever APIs your business runs on.
Got a legacy system? A specific tool your team relies on? No problem. If it has an API or webhook, we can connect it.
Let's be clear about what this is
Build Sprints are designed for speed and validation. You get working code that real users can test. You don't get enterprise-scale infrastructure or every possible edge case.
This is an MVP, not enterprise software
You get a working product that real users can test. You don't get infinite scale, every edge case handled, or enterprise-grade security audits. Those come later, once you've validated your idea.
Production scale costs more.
MVP architecture prioritises speed to market. Scaling to thousands of users, adding redundancy, hardening security — that's a separate conversation.
AI speeds things up, it doesn't replace thinking.
We use AI to write code faster, not to skip the product thinking. Every feature still gets designed by humans who understand user needs.
Some things just take longer.
Complex payment flows. Multi-tenant SaaS. Enterprise integrations. Real-time collaboration. These might need 2-3 sprints, and we'll tell you that upfront.
How we can help
Working products, faster, with Designer-led AI development
Fast, working code without the traditional agency overhead. We work with ambitious startups and established companies who need to ship products quickly without hiring a full dev team
No dev team? Start here
You've got designs, a vision, or a validated concept
You need code. We build your MVP so you can test with real users before committing to full-time hires.
Need sprint capacity
Your team is maxed out.
The roadmap is stacked. You need external velocity to ship a new feature or test an idea without derailing your core team.
Speed matters
Launch windows close. Investors want demos. Competitors are moving.
You can't wait three months for an estimate, let alone three months for development.
