About

A software studio born on site.

Tropic builds digital tools for construction from one simple belief: the best software comes from those who know the trade.

Our story

Tropic is a software studio based in Paris. We build digital solutions to digitise and optimise construction projects — and, more broadly, anything digital can simplify.

Our first product, Planning MEP, came from a field observation: planning an MEP project is too often a tangle of spreadsheets and scattered exchanges. We wanted a clear, collaborative, domain-aware tool.

Our mission

Give construction teams tools as powerful and pleasant as the best consumer apps: fast, reliable and made for everyday work.

The name

Why Tropic?

A short, lively, memorable name. The tropics are reference lines that structure the globe; our logo — a target — says the rest: aim true, on every project.
