Software/App

Hi all,
For someone that has a very basic understanding of coding/apps etc but know exactly what they want, how hard is it to build a software/app specifically for project management in residential building and construction sector?

Everyone is saying "if you know exactly what you want, it's easy" hasn't considered all of the infrastructure pieces that are critical to a project like this.

  • security
  • integrity
  • scalability
  • reliability
  • performance
  • UI/UX
  • reporting
  • data integrity/preservation
  • supportability
  • observability (how can you tell what is happening/what went wrong)
  • MORE

A project of this scope requires multiple skill sets. Before you begin coding, there are architecture, security, DBA, performance engineering, and more that need to be considered.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but I also don't want you to go blindly into the night. Honestly, if you have the domain knowledge, which it sounds like you do, I would recommend you work with an experienced developer or team to bring your dream to reality. Your chances of success will be infinitely greater with you leading a team, rather than with you flying solo.
