Kahua: Flexible, Scalable PMIS with Room for Better Integrations **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frank B. | Senior Director, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Kahua?** Kahua is a great project management information system or PMIS for owner/operators to be able to manage projects more effectively and deliver projects more efficiently. What we like best about Kahua is the scalability, flexibility, and adaptability of the system to be configured or (developed using K builder) to serve a variety of client needs. The founders, Brian and Scott, were very familiar with project management systems and developed Kahua to address many of the shortcomings of other solutions in the market. The combination of a very effective platform with a very enthusiastic and hard-working workforce make Kahua a leading choice for our clients searching for technology and people to partner partner with on their project management journey. **What do you dislike about Kahua?** While there are not many downsides to Kahua, we would appreciate Kahua opening itself to the possibility of integrations and coexistence with other products that could be perceived as competitors. We have found in our clients the need to use different systems for specific capabilities and want to connect Kahua to these legacy systems for a more seamless user experience. This is not to say that Kahua will share the same space with these systems forever, but before a client is ready for apprationalization, they will need (for a time) to use Kahua and its competitor side-by-side and talking to each each other. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kahua helps our clients manage their projects, including collaboration cost and do management capabilities. We find the intuitive user experience and the flexibility to either configure in system or develop using K builder is a differentiator. ### 2. A robust platform that scales well for our projects **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David D. | Capital Program & Asset Management Solutions Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Kahua?** The interface is user friendly and intuitive that makes it easy for both seasoned professionals and new users to navigate the platform. Since it is cloud-based, Kahua allows users to access project information from anywhere, which is particularly useful for teams working across multiple locations. The dashboards are well-organized, allowing us to have quick access to critical project information. There are also detailed reports and analytics, which are invaluable for tracking project progress, identifying bottlenecks, and making data-driven decisions. One of Kahua’s standout features is its ability to adapt to unique project needs. The customizable workflows and forms ensure that teams can tailor the software to their specific processes. Also, the platform excels in fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Features like document sharing, real-time updates, and communication tools help keep everyone on the same page. **What do you dislike about Kahua?** While the interface is user-friendly, some advanced features may require training or time to master, especially for users unfamiliar with construction management software. Also depending on the size of your organization, the pricing structure may feel steep for smaller teams or companies with limited budgets. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kahua is a powerful tool for managing construction projects, offering a wide range of features that cater to the needs of contractors, owners, and project managers. Its flexibility and focus on collaboration make it a valuable asset for complex projects. While there are minor areas for improvement, the software’s benefits far outweigh its drawbacks. I would recommend Kahua to organizations looking for a scalable and customizable solution to improve project management efficiency. ### 3. A Gold standard for the Design & Construction Industry. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** HECTOR J. S. | Document Controller, Construction, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kahua?** I like Kahua's ability to customize logs and reports easily, which helps me manage tasks more effectively. I also appreciate seeing all submissions within the submittal app clearly. The file manager app is quite useful with its ability to set automatic folder alerts, helping me track any activity within a defined folder. These features enhance the efficiency of communicating transactions with a defined group of users. **What do you dislike about Kahua?** Sometimes in the Submittals app, I have accidental duplicate input data. It would be very useful if Kahua could somehow give a warning that a similar record already exists beforehand. Currently, I have to cross-reference by title beforehand to avoid the issue. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Kahua for securely sharing design and construction documents, which improves efficiency in communicating transactions. I like customizing logs, viewing submissions, and setting folder alerts for tracking activity. ### 4. Streamlined Project Management with Kahua, Needs Workflow Intuition **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kathi G. **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Kahua?** I really like how Kahua has significantly improved our project management processes by solving crucial issues we faced with multiple PSCs on the same project. Previously, we had to create separate projects to accommodate extra PSCs, but Kahua allows us to manage multiple PSCs within a single project effectively. This feature eliminates the cumbersome workaround we had to use before. Kahua also reduces our workload by streamlining processes, such as avoiding double entry in both project management and financial management systems. Its ability to accommodate different project types and workflows is incredibly beneficial for our operations, particularly because we manage more than four common project types seamlessly. Kahua's flexibility in accommodating our various project workflows is impressive. A specific feature that stands out is the e-sign functionality, which streamlines the signature process for change orders and eliminates the time-consuming task of back-and-forth emailing for signatures. This has notably enhanced our efficiency. The introduction of AI capabilities that facilitate quick, easy app creation and customization is also something I highly value. These powerful tools make my work more flexible and dynamic, allowing for a much more streamlined and customized project management experience. **What do you dislike about Kahua?** I would make Kahua more intuitive. I find the workflows could be improved, especially where there are review and approval workflows. There’s a task in between because many customers don’t realize that once the review is done, they need to go back in and send it for approval. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kahua solves the issue of multiple PSCs on projects, preventing duplicate projects. It streamlines project management by reducing double entry in management and financial systems, saving time with e-sign for change orders, enhancing workflow flexibility, and supporting various project types. ### 5.

Solution Without Limits **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James L. | Information Technology Business Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Kahua?** The best part of Kahua is that it is a PaaS - so many wonderful features and apps ready to go straight out of the box, but basically anything is possible through app development and extensions; the only limitation is your own imagination. **What do you dislike about Kahua?** The only downside I can think of is really an upside - the platform is so flexible and customizable that it can take a period of time to use it to its full capabilities but that only speaks more to its potential. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collaboration issues between different parties, organizational reporting and visibility, and project controls complexities. Working with such a flexible solution as a consultant enables me to help my clients solve problems more efficiently. ### 9.

End user documentation is missing or incomplete. Technical documentation is slightly better, but we have no user guide to use, and only bits and pieces of functionality is documented appropriately. **What problems is Kahua solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest solution Kahua is supporting is on is the consolidation of disparate systems into a unified platform. ### 13.
