Most people who reach this page in Dhaka are not building software for the first time. They tried an agency, got a half-working system, and now they need someone who will actually fix it or rebuild it right. I am RH Fardin, a senior solo operator who personally scopes, designs, codes and ships custom software for Dhaka businesses. You explain the problem once, to the person who will solve it. Web tools start at 50,000 BDT, full custom systems from 3,00,000 BDT.

Here is the conversation I have almost every week with a business owner in Gulshan, Motijheel or Mirpur: "We already paid for a system. It half works. The developer stopped replying. Can you take it over?" That single sentence tells me more about the Dhaka custom software market than any brochure. The problem is rarely that Bangladeshi developers cannot code. It is that the people selling "custom software" in this city are usually not the people building it, so nobody owns the result when it breaks. By the time it reaches you, the original brief has been through a salesperson, a coordinator and whichever junior was free that week.
Being a custom software development expert in Dhaka is not about knowing more frameworks than the next shop. It is about knowing which questions to ask before a single line of code is written, and being honest enough to talk you out of features you do not need.
When you send me a brief, I push on the things agencies skip: how many staff will touch this daily, will they use a phone or a desktop, where does the money actually flow, is the data sensitive, what breaks in your current process at 5pm on a busy day. The answer to those questions decides whether you are looking at a 90,000 BDT web app or a 5,00,000 BDT system, and I will tell you the truth either way.
I am RH Fardin, a Dhaka-based developer with around five years building custom software, web applications and ecommerce systems for businesses across Bangladesh. I do not run a floor of desks in Banani. I take a small number of projects at a time and own each one personally, from the requirements call to the database schema to the screens to the deployment to the late-night WhatsApp message when something needs attention. When you hire me, there is no account manager between you and the person whose hands are on your code.
Pricing is plain and quoted in BDT, not dollars. The smallest engagement, a single-purpose internal tool or admin panel, starts at 50,000 BDT. Mid-size web software lands in my 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range. A genuine custom system with multiple user roles, reporting, payment integration and proper backups starts at 3,00,000 BDT and scales with scope. Payment is 50% advance to begin, 50% on launch day before the final version goes live. No surprise milestone fees, no forced maintenance retainer you never asked for.
The word "expert" should mean something specific. Here is what actually changes when one senior operator owns your build end to end in Dhaka.
The person who hears your requirements is the person who writes the SQL and designs the dashboard. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a coordinator and a junior who never met you.
I take over half-finished or abandoned systems other Dhaka developers walked away from. I audit the codebase honestly, tell you what is salvageable, and fix or rebuild from there.
Payment integration for bKash Merchant, Nagad, SSLCommerz and AamarPay is standard scope. I have already handled the OTP flows, IPN callbacks, refunds and reconciliation reports.
Mobile-first admin panels because your manager runs the business from a phone, BDT comma-lakh formatting, Bangla-aware fields, 11-digit number validation, and forms that survive a weak signal.
You approve the full UI in writing before I touch the backend. If what you receive does not match the screens you signed off, I fix it on my time, not your budget.
On launch you get the full source, the database, hosting access and a plain-language handover doc. If you ever replace me, the next developer can read it without starting over.
Almost everyone in Dhaka selling software calls themselves an expert, so the word is useless until you know how to test it. Before you pay anyone a deposit, do three things. First, ask to speak to the person who will write your code, not the person who is selling it. In most Dhaka agencies these are different people, and the senior who pitched you will be on another sale by the time your project starts.
Second, ask them to walk you through a system they built that is similar to yours and let you see the actual admin panel, not a slideshow. Third, ask one hard scoping question about your own business, like how they would handle a partial bKash refund or a wholesale buyer with a credit limit, and listen to whether they ask you questions back or just say "yes, no problem." A real expert interrogates the edge cases. A salesperson agrees to everything and renegotiates later.
The second test is what happens after launch, because custom software is never truly finished, it just reaches version one. Your staff will use it for two weeks and come back with a dozen requests, half of them genuine bugs and half "can we also do this" ideas. Ask any Dhaka developer two questions before you sign: do you fix genuine bugs free for a period after launch, and do I own the source code outright.
With me the answers are 30 days of free bug fixes and yes, you own everything, uploaded to your own GitHub on launch day. The developers who go quiet after the deposit are the same ones who keep the code on their private server so you cannot leave. That single difference is what separates a custom software development expert in Dhaka from a vendor collecting an advance.

Real questions Dhaka business owners ask me when they are looking for a custom software development expert, not a sales pitch.
My floor for any serious build is 50,000 BDT for a single-purpose internal tool or admin panel. Mid-size custom web software typically lands at 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. A full custom system with multiple user roles, reporting, bKash or Nagad integration and proper backups starts at 3,00,000 BDT and scales with scope. The exact figure depends on how many roles, how many integrations, and whether you also need mobile apps. I quote one fixed price after a proper scoping call, never a vague range over the phone.
Yes, this is a large part of what I do. Send me access to whatever exists, the code, the database, the hosting, and I will audit it honestly. Sometimes the existing work is salvageable and I continue from there, which saves you money. Sometimes the foundation is so weak that rebuilding is cheaper than patching, and I will tell you that plainly with reasons rather than just selling you a fresh project. Either way you get a straight answer before you commit any money.
One senior operator. RH Fardin. No floor of desks in Gulshan or Banani, no juniors I quietly hand your work to. The person who quotes you is the person who writes your code and the person you message when something needs attention. That is the whole point, and it is the main reason Dhaka owners pick me after being burned by an agency once already.
Web-based business tools: inventory and stock systems, POS for showrooms and restaurants, clinic and salon appointment systems, school and coaching admin panels, distributor and wholesale order management, internal CRMs, custom invoicing with bKash and Nagad reconciliation, and lightweight ERPs for small to mid-size operations. My zone is web software with 1 to 5 user roles, a clean admin panel and reporting. If you need a 200-screen enterprise ERP for thousands of staff, I will refer you to a larger team.
bKash and Nagad both work for the advance, with bank transfer for larger amounts. I take 50% to start work and 50% on launch day before the final version goes live. No hidden mid-project milestone charges and no forced maintenance retainer. Everything is written into a simple contract before you pay anything.
A small 50,000 BDT tool is usually two to three weeks. A 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT mid-size build is typically four to seven weeks. A full 3,00,000 BDT and up custom system is usually two to four months depending on scope, with week one or two spent on requirements and design, then development, then your team testing on a staging server, then fixes and go-live. I commit to a written timeline before you pay the advance and tell you immediately if anything threatens to slip. Anyone promising a real custom system in three weeks is reskinning a template.
