About Aphex

At Aphex, we're on a mission to make it easier for construction teams to get on the same page with a live, multiplayer planning platform. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards, and outdated systems, we build tools that allow anyone on a project to plan and communicate their work.

Our customers are the largest construction contractors responsible for the tunnels, roads, bridges, and buildings we use daily. Our users are the engineers managing and planning these incredible projects.

We've already made an impact since launching our V1 in the UK in 2019 and entering the Australian market in 2022; we've become the leading solution in both markets.
