Quietly fixing what matters most.

Big House is a professional services company specialising in technology excellence, enablement and assurance for business and government.

We work with organisations when clarity is lost, complexity has accumulated, and the cost of standing still is no longer an option.

Not every challenge needs a large transformation program.

Not every issue needs to be visible.

Some of the most important work happens quietly, restoring alignment, stabilising services and enabling leaders to move forward with confidence.

That is the work we do.

Much of our work is not visible, which is by design.

Why we exist

We work where complexity is high and the margin for error is usually low.
Our engagements are led by experienced practitioners and designed for situations where discretion, clarity and outcomes matter more than visibility.

We don’t add layers.

We don’t sell transformation for its own sake.

We focus on fixing what matters.

Small teams. Senior leadership. Purpose-built capability.

That’s how progress happens.

Clarity enables simplicity.

Technology should simplify services, not complicate them.

Governance should enable progress, not delay it.

Complexity should earn its place, or be removed.

Experience matters, especially under pressure.

And the best work doesn’t need to shout.

These beliefs shape how we deliver Technology Excellence, Technology Enablement, Technology Assurance,

and how we partner with the organisations we support.

Senior. Focused. Discreet.

Our work is often high-stakes and sensitive. That’s why our engagements are designed differently.

Senior-Led

We assemble exactly the capability required for the challenge, nothing more, nothing less. People are brought in for fit, not availability.

  • No handovers.

  • No delegation to junior teams.

  • Accountability stays where it matters.

Focused

We assemble exactly the capability required for the challenge, nothing more, nothing less. People are brought in for fit, not availability.

  • Small teams.

  • Clear roles.

  • Effort applied where it delivers value.

Discreet

We work quietly where discretion matters and move quickly without creating disruption or unnecessary noise or theatre.

  • No inflated programs.

  • No fixed playbooks.

  • Just clarity, momentum and outcomes.

Independent by design

We work with a small number of trusted partners who share our values: clarity, integrity, and outcomes over hype.

Where specialist capability is required, we assemble the right ecosystem for the problem at hand, without locking clients into unnecessary dependencies.

We partner where it adds value.

We stay independent where it matters.

  • No commercial incentives tied to tools or platforms

  • No preferred vendors by default

  • Partners engaged only where they add clear value

  • Independence retained where it matters most

Working with Big House

Not a bench. A collective.

We don’t operate like a traditional consulting firm.

We maintain a small, highly experienced core team and work with a trusted network of specialists who share our values, clarity, integrity and outcomes over ego.

People work with us because they:

  • Want to work on meaningful, complex problems

  • Prefer autonomy over hierarchy

  • Value trust and professionalism over visibility

  • Care more about outcomes than titles

We look for people who are comfortable working quietly, thinking deeply, and stepping in when it matters most.

If that sounds like you, we’re always open to a conversation, even when there isn’t a role advertised.

That’s it. No more.

Small teams.

Serious work.

No theatre.

Start with clarity

Organisations usually reach out when something feels off, but it’s hard to put a finger on exactly why.

Often it shows up as:

  • Delivery stalling despite significant investment

  • Risk increasing faster than confidence

  • Governance in place, but decisions still slow

  • Vendors active, but ownership unclear

If you’re navigating complexity, pressure or change, you don’t have to do it alone.

Clarity creates momentum.

No obligation. No sales pitch.
