Laravel Development in Singapore
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in Singapore. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in SGD.
Working hours
Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 11:30 to 20:30 in Singapore, so from late morning onwards we are on the same working day, and anything you raise first thing is picked up by 11:30.
Quoted in SGD
Quotes exclude the 9% GST in Singapore, shown separately on the invoice.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed SGD quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.
About Laravel Development
Laravel is the framework we reach for when a project needs more than a CMS but less than a microservices platform, internal tools, B2B SaaS, admin dashboards, custom CRMs, and REST/GraphQL APIs. We've shipped 6+ Laravel projects across healthcare, fintech, logistics, and education, with clean architecture, proper test coverage, and admin panels that ops teams actually enjoy using.
What the engagement includes
- Custom Laravel web app development
- REST and GraphQL API development
- Laravel Filament admin panels
- Laravel Nova admin panels (when budget supports it)
- Livewire and Inertia.js full-stack apps
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture (Tenancy for Laravel)
- Database optimization and query tuning
- Spatie Permission, ActivityLog, and Media Library setup
How we work with Singapore clients
Singapore is the one market we serve where the working day is simply shared. We are two and a half hours behind you and neither country moves its clocks, so our morning starts partway through yours and the whole of your afternoon is live time for both sides. That changes the shape of an engagement more than anything technical does: a call is booked for the same afternoon rather than the same week, a question raised before your lunch is answered after it, and the written-first method we run for North American clients is a courtesy here rather than a necessity. We keep the written record anyway, with a default chosen on every open decision, because it is the thing an auditor or a new hire can read later and a call is not.
Invoicing is worth stating plainly because the GST position confuses buyers on both sides. We are outside Singapore, so no GST appears on our invoice. Whether you account for it yourself is the reverse charge question, and IRAS's own guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not affected, while a partially exempt one accounts for it in its own return. We quote in Singapore dollars, the figure holds for the project whatever the rupee does, and payment by bank transfer or Wise avoids the card fees a five-figure invoice does not need. The contract can sit under Singapore law with Singapore courts, and unusually among our overseas markets that clause has teeth: Singapore is a reciprocating territory under section 44A of India's Civil Procedure Code, so a judgment of the Singapore High Court can be executed in India directly rather than re-litigated.
Indicative pricing in SGD
Converted from our published Indian rates and rounded. Exchange rates move, so the figure on your quote is calculated on the day it is issued.
PlugEV
PlugEV runs on Laravel and Postgres, handling live charger sessions and billing rather than a CRUD admin panel.

How does GST work if you are based in India?
No GST is charged on our invoice, and the invoice says so. Whether you account for it under reverse charge depends on your input tax position: IRAS's guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not impacted, a partially exempt business or one with non-business receipts accounts for GST on imported services in its own return, and a business that is not registered should ask its accountant, because an exempt business importing more than S$1 million of services in a year can be required to register. We would rather your accountant confirmed your position before the first invoice than reconciled it at year end.
Are you compliant with the PDPA?
We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. The consent, purpose limitation and notification obligations shape the forms and the data model; retention limitation means records are deleted on a schedule rather than kept indefinitely; access and correction requests are features with a queue behind them rather than a manual database job. Processing happens in India, so the transfer limitation obligation applies, and the processor agreement we sign sets out the comparable standard of protection the Act asks for. The obligation to design for early is breach notification: an organisation has three calendar days from determining a breach is notifiable, which means one likely to cause significant harm or one affecting 500 or more people, to tell the PDPC, and answering what was in the breach is only possible if the logging existed beforehand. Appointing a Data Protection Officer is your obligation rather than ours, and we will say so if a design choice would make that person's job harder.
Can we use a PSG or EDG grant to pay for this?
Not PSG. The Productivity Solutions Grant funds pre-scoped packages from pre-approved vendors for Singapore-registered companies, and a custom build from an overseas team is not that shape, so we will not pretend it is. The Enterprise Development Grant is assessed project by project against its own criteria, and whether a build like yours qualifies is a question for Enterprise Singapore or your grant consultant to answer before the scope is written rather than after a budget has assumed it.
We are regulated by MAS. Can you meet the outsourcing requirements?
We can supply what a due-diligence pack asks for, accept audit and access rights in the contract, and name every sub-processor that touches your data. What we will also tell you in the first conversation is what we do not hold: we are not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and our security page says so in those words. Whether an engagement with us is a material outsourcing arrangement under the MAS guidelines, and what that requires of you, is your compliance team's determination, and it changes the contract before it changes the code, so it belongs in week one.
Laravel Development: common questions
How much does a Laravel development project cost?
Internal tools and admin panels: S$620-S$1,500. Laravel SaaS builds: S$1,500-S$4,600. Enterprise multi-service builds: S$4,600+. Final cost depends on data model complexity, integration count, frontend scope (Livewire vs separate React app), and whether multi-tenancy is required.
How long does a Laravel project take?
Internal tool with Filament admin: 4-8 weeks. Standard SaaS MVP: 8-16 weeks. Complex multi-service builds: 16-30 weeks. We deliver in 2-week sprints with full demos every Monday.
Do you use Filament or Laravel Nova for admin panels?
We default to Filament, it's free, open source, has a deeper extension ecosystem, and the development experience is excellent. Nova is still a good choice if your team specifically prefers it, but most clients we move to Filament after seeing both.
Can you build APIs that a React Native or Flutter mobile app will consume?
Yes. We build REST APIs (JSON:API spec where it fits) and GraphQL APIs (typically via Lighthouse PHP). We also build the React Native or Flutter mobile app itself if you don't have a separate mobile team.
Do you offer Laravel maintenance after launch?
Yes. Laravel apps need ongoing care, framework upgrades, dependency updates, security patches, performance tuning. Our retainers run S$230-S$1,200/month depending on scope. Most Laravel clients stay on for 2+ years.
