Win the work.
Sub us the build.
For agencies, systems integrators, and government primes who land contracts bigger than their build capacity. We build it under your brand, to your spec, at a fixed price quoted before any code is written. You keep the client, the credit, and a margin you can forecast at bid time.

You sell the work. We are the build capacity behind it.
Most firms do not lose a bid on strategy. They lose it, or bleed the margin on it, over who is actually going to build the thing.
Agencies and design studios
You won the pitch on strategy and craft. Someone still has to build it. Subcontract the engineering and keep the client, the credit, and the margin.
Systems integrators and IT consultancies
You are staffed for consulting and per-diem resources, not fixed-deliverable product builds. We are the delivery capacity you drop into a task authorization.
Government primes
The contract needs WCAG 2.1 AA, client-owned IP, Canadian hosting, and a sub whose insurance and WorkSafeBC file survive your compliance desk. That is our default, not a change order.
Contractors and non-software firms
The scope you won has a software component you never wanted to own. We take that piece, deliver it under your name, and stay out of the relationship.
Cheaper than hiring. Safer than gambling on a freelancer.
A cost you can bid against
One fixed number before code, so your markup is decided at bid time instead of discovered at the end. No agency overhead and no bench sitting inside the rate.
We stay invisible
White-label by default. Your brand on the work, your face in the meetings. We do not contact your client during the project or after it.
The compliance gap, filled
WCAG 2.1 AA as a build standard, client-owned IP on handover, Canadian residency available. The requirements that sink public-sector delivery are the ones we build to by default.
A paper trail your desk will accept
Bound insurance, an active WorkSafeBC account, and Canadian registration numbers you can verify. Certificates and a clearance letter go out on request.
Their software stops being rent.
Nobody rents their trucks, their premises, or their machines, because ownership wins over the life of the asset. Software was the exception only because a custom build used to cost about ten times what it costs now. That flipped, and it is the strongest line in your pitch.
A $12,000 a year subscription is $120,000 over ten years flat, or closer to $151,000 with 5% annual escalation. A $30,000 build plus no subscription attached is $30,000 over the same decade, and your client owns it. Break-even lands at year 2.5.
You can put that number in a proposal. We hand over 100% of the source, the data, and the IP on final payment, so the promise behind it holds.
Four steps, and you stay in front.
You own the relationship at every step. We are the engine room.
- STEP 01
Send the scope
The RFP, the spec, or just the shape of it. NDA and non-solicit first if you prefer. You get a straight answer on whether we are the right sub, including when we are not.
- STEP 02
Fixed quote before code
One number, agreed up front, so you can price your bid against a known cost. No hourly meter running against your margin while requirements settle.
- STEP 03
We build in slices
Working software on a weekly rhythm, so you always have something real to put in front of your client. No big-bang reveal and no silent months.
- STEP 04
Handover under your brand
Full source, data, documentation, and a walkthrough for whoever supports it on your side. Ongoing support is hourly if you want it and never required.

Delivery in progress
We hold an active contract with a Canadian provincial government ministry, client name withheld under contract confidentiality.
To be exact about what the first three are: a pre-qualification is permission to be invited, not a contract award and not a guarantee of work. It means the province has already reviewed us against its criteria and cleared us to bid, so a ministry can go straight to a statement of work instead of running a full open competition.
Your client never hears our name. You look like you have an engineering department. That is the entire product.
The questions every firm asks first.
Will you contact or poach our client?
No. We work under your brand, through you. We do not approach your client during the project or after it, we do not put your project in a public case study without written permission, and we will sign an NDA and a non-solicit before you send us a single line of scope.
Whose brand does the work ship under?
Yours. White-label is the default: your client sees your team, your name, and your delivery. If you would rather co-brand or credit us, that is your call to make, not ours.
How do you price subcontract work?
Fixed price per project, quoted before any code is written, so you can price your bid against a known cost and a known margin. Ongoing support after handover is hourly and optional, never a mandatory monthly retainer. Partner rates are sent on request.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do, or your client does, whichever your contract says. On final payment we hand over 100% of the source, the data, and the IP. No licensing, no per-seat fee, and no lock-in that boomerangs back onto your client relationship a year later.
Do you clear a prime contractor's compliance requirements?
Usually, yes. Commercial general liability of $5,000,000, professional liability (errors and omissions) of $2,000,000, and cyber liability of $2,000,000 are bound and in force. WorkSafeBC account 201966367 is active and a clearance letter is issued on request, normally the same day. BlueStone AI Inc. is a Canadian federal corporation (1730441-2) registered extraprovincially in BC (A0142791). We do not hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, or HECVAT.
Does subcontracting to you help a public-sector bid?
It can. We are a pre-qualified supplier to the Office of the Auditor General of British Columbia under RFQ OAG-RFQ-26-068 (Digital Services), pre-qualified on the Province of BC Multi-Use List, Service Area 3, Software Development and Testing (ON-003317-03), and registered on the BC Digital Marketplace. A pre-qualification is permission to be invited, not a contract award, so treat it as a supporting credential on your bid rather than a shortcut through the process.
Can you deliver accessible and bilingual work?
Yes, and it is the gap we most often fill. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA from the first screen, which is a build standard we apply rather than a certification we hold. English and French parity is an architectural decision we make at the start when it is in scope, not a translation layer added at the end. Canadian data residency is available on request.
What can you actually take off our plate?
Custom web platforms, client and citizen portals, registries, content and document systems, internal and operational tools, native iOS, and AI features inside an existing product. If your scope has a software build in it and your own delivery team is at capacity, that is the conversation to have.
How fast can you say yes or no?
One business day for a reply on fit, and a fixed quote once we have the scope. If we are the wrong sub for the job we say so at that point rather than after you have committed the number into a bid.
What are you trying to deliver?
One business day to reply. Send the scope, the RFP, or the rough shape of it, and you get a straight answer on fit plus partner rates.
