About

Kahua is a capital program management and construction project management platform designed for construction owners — government agencies, healthcare systems, universities, utilities, and corporate real estate departments — that manage large portfolios of capital construction projects and need an owner-side platform to track budgets, contracts, documents, and risks across multiple concurrent projects. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Kahua has raised more than $50 million and built a customer base among large public sector and enterprise owner organizations that need a configurable, owner-centric platform rather than contractor-oriented project management tools.\n\nKahua's platform provides capital program management capabilities including portfolio-level budget tracking, contract management with payment applications and change order workflows, document control, RFI and submittal management, risk management, and reporting dashboards that give owner organizations visibility across their entire construction portfolio. The platform is designed to be configurable to different owner organization structures and workflows without heavy IT customization, making it accessible to public sector procurement requirements and variable organizational models. Integration with financial systems allows capital budget tracking to connect with enterprise accounting platforms.\n\nKahua competes with Oracle Primavera, Procore's Owner product, InEight, e-Builder (acquired by Trimble), and PMWeb in the owner's project management and capital program management space. Its focus on owner-side workflows and government/public sector customers differentiates it from contractor-oriented platforms, and its flexible data model allows different divisions of a large owner organization to configure their own project workflows while maintaining consolidated portfolio reporting. Healthcare, K-12, higher education, and state and local government represent significant customer segments.
