DEF Software, Planning, Building Control & Highways Response

DEF Software

DEF is a software house.

For the last 30-years we've been developing software applications for the Public Sector. Yet three decades on, we're still thoroughly enjoying this thrilling and wonderful journey.

In terms of the software and where it goes, we deliver our products into Planning, Building Control, Land Charges, Highways, Environment, Legal and Licensing. Our reputation across these areas is one of the very best - something we're extremely proud of, but a fact we'll never take for granted.

Innovation and communication is what makes us tick. We get to work with some unique people trying to crack some fascinating problems. The demand upon our clients never stands still; in turn, nor do we.
