The built in kbuilder tool means the product can be "customized" via configuration and available on computer and mobile. Pros The user interface is easy to understand and navigate, even has dark mode! Kahua provides the ability to align with industry standards and support company specific processes with configuration and not customization. As a platform, integration and migration with other systems is easily supported. The configurable hierarchical structure provides the ability for Kahua to align with how each company is organized and how programs and projects are managed. The built in kbuilder tool allows companies to support extending the product in house. Cons As Kahua provides an easier way to extend the product it is easy to try to implement too much. It is important to focus on what is important to the organization and project teams. Review Source NM Nate M. Solutions Architect Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great platform to build our Ai powered PMIS" October 1, 2026 5.0 Very good. We have been adopting the platform in our organization. It is vast and can be complex, but the team at Kahua is very supportive. Pros The ability to extend create solutions that fit our needs is key to managing our projects and having the system that works for us. New AI features are making it really exciting. Cons It is a vast solution that often takes time to stay up to date on new features and advances. There should be a more agentic way to discover and get caught up on the evolving features. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Kahua had the features we needed out of the box. Review Source SV Stephen V. Safety Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Dont waste your time" January 9, 2023 2.0 Pros Nothing. Everything about this software is frustrating. Cons Constant problems with loading the platform each day and loading information. Constantly having to stop what we are doing to write an email and attach screen shots. The person that's supposed to help doesn't understand what we try to tell him. There may be a language barrier. Review Source ZB Zenobia B. Technology Product Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kahua Support Assessment" September 30, 2026 4.0 Kahua has been, from the start, very innovative and they listen to concerns. They are asking good questions and have the experience to support your challenges. Pros I like the support provided by the entire Kahua team. They want to know how everything is going with your deployment every step of the way. Cons I'm not a fan of two different partners breaking up the workload. Meaning, we are working with one company for discovery and another for configuration. Switched from [Aurigo Masterworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/106193/Masterworks/) The product was extra zxpensive and not intuitive. Review Source KG Kathi G. Kahua Domain Admin- System Enterprise Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AI is changing the way apps are created" October 22, 2025 4.0 It has been challenging but we are continuing to smooth out the process. I'm super excited about the new AI features that are coming. I tested it out and created an app in less than 5 mins. Pros I like the capability of being able to customize the app to suit your needs. The new AI features are a guge game changer in app development! I created an app in less than 5 mins. Cons I don't like thay its not as intuitive as it could be and an example will be the absence of a task after the review workflow to tell the user to send for approval.

Project Solutions Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "From Document Control Manager to Implement Consultant" September 30, 2026 5.0 Overall, I’ve enjoyed working with Kahua from both the end user side and being an implementation consultant. Being able to bring clients closer and closer to having a single source of truth for project records is rewarding. Pros Having worked as a Document Control Manager on large transportation construction projects and now leading Kahua implementations on similar projects, I’ve experienced the platform from both the end-user and implementation sides. Kahua provides a flexible, centralized solution for managing project documentation, workflows, and collaboration across complex project teams. Its configurability allows it to adapt to the specific needs of large infrastructure programs, while maintaining the structure and accountability that strong document control requires. Cons My biggest obstacle with Kahua so far has been the inability to modify a document management workflow without creating a supplement or extension. Review Source CS Chase S. Digital Delivery Specialist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Kahua experience at a glance?" September 30, 2026 4.0 It’s has overall been a bit of a roller coaster, ups and downs. There are a lot of great things about Kahua, but there are also some difficult to use/understand/learn parts about it. That being said, no solution is perfect and there has been a lot of initiatives to improve the product which is great. Pros Very customizable and allows customers to build what they need. Customer support is also very excellent at helping with simple or complex problems. Cons The user experience, specifically for newer users, can be difficult to overcome. It can take a lot of effort to get comfortable with the apps, interface, and be able to easily perform day to day tasks. Review Source AG Alexis G. Finance Tech Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Powerful Platform with More Potential to Explore" September 30, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Kahua has been positive. While I did not gain as much from the conference personally as I had hoped, it gave me a better understanding of the additional apps and capabilities available within Kahua. I was able to identify several opportunities that could benefit my team and help us continue improving our processes and use of the system. Pros Kahua is a very useful platform for managing construction and financial processes. I especially appreciate the flexibility of the apps and the ability to identify additional tools that can improve our internal workflows, reporting, and overall efficiency. Cons The conference was informative, but I would have preferred more hands-on, advanced sessions. Because I use Kahua heavily in my role, particularly from a finance and project management perspective, much of the content did not go deep enough to provide significant takeaways for my day-to-day work.

Project Manager Assistant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "AMAZING PROGRAM FOR ALL " September 3, 2026 5.0 It's been an amazing to have and utilize the program as it helps me to keep my tasks on top and continue to improve my workflow. Tenant management Pros Ease of use/ features / contractor compliance / customer support/property management / Value for money too Cons sometimes it takes a little time doing updates and slowdown when trying to open some documents like Excel. Review Source JW Jeremy W. Kahua Consultant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kahua Review" October 1, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been great and the product is definitely making advancements in the right places. I've been working in the product for about 3 years now. Pros Collaboration and customization is really at the forefront of the product. I'm really impressed with the innovation over the past year. Cons The overall complexity when configuring, the products can be overwhelming in the beginning and hard to overcome. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why Kahua for our PMIS" September 29, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Kahua has been a great value for our money. It's been customizable to what we need and how we would like to use it. Pros Kahua is extremely use friendly and has excellent customer support. They are very quick to address any issues that may arise. Cons Conflicting app features that weren't meant to work together. Kahua is evolving so hopefully these bugs get resolved. Review Source Nick O. Implementation Consulting Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Foundation " September 30, 2026 5.0 Kahua is a great partner who works with us on our projects when we need their expertise. We will continue to partner with them to extend our footprint. Pros The system is a solid platform for customizing your project management information systems to meet your specific org requirements. Cons Sometimes the customization options put you into a state where perfect can get in the way of a solid start.

Review Source FB Frank B. Senior director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great system supported by great people" October 22, 2025 5.0 Having worked with Kahua for many years, we have seen the product (and company) grow exponentially. Kahua is fast becoming the tool of choice for many verticals, and remains flexible/adaptive to bring value to so many more verticals too. The company culture is strong even during growth mode with new, great people joining and buying into that culture that is instilled and demonstrated from the top leaders and founders. Pros Very impressed with the roadmap and vision of the company’s leaders to innovate new technology. Each year’s Enabling Innovation conference brings out new features and capabilities that continue to bring value to companies and industries. Additionally the company is comprised of truly good people, folks who work hard and play hard, all with the genuine goal to bring value to their clients while maintaining an enjoyable and nurtured work environment. Cons I do wish Kahua was more open to integrating and collaborating across other systems that may be considered competitors. Some clients are still on legacy systems and may want some Kahua apps while keeping other modules with other systems. Not the ideal scenario but Kahua needs to understand some client situations may require two systems to work together in the same space. Review Source Jason S. Sr. Business Development Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kahua - Strong (and ever improving) PMIS" October 1, 2026 5.0 Exceptional culture, people and support. It’s been a genuine pleasure to be a partner of theirs and I look forward to their continued success. Pros Full Disclosure: Byrne is a long-standing implementation partner of Kahua. That shared, I can share that it’s been a strong partnership for years largely due to Kahua’s ever-improving platform. I can share that we have many clients who are very happy with the platform, not just shortly after having implemented but for years on as well. Cons It might be more of a perception issue than a flaw but we’ve had clients disappointed that low-code doesn’t mean that everything they want to accomplish with the platform is easily done — when things get too complicated to bend Kahua to a clients needs/wants is typically where our own company steps in to add value. Review Source Jahnavi K. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kahua Review" October 1, 2026 5.0 Company with great culture. People are very nice and helpful. Would definetly consider if you are in the market for a Real Estate PMIS system Pros Kahua is customizable to different business needs and the features are constantly being enhnaced. Support is super helpful. Overall a great company. Cons In Kahua I am not able to open multiple tabs at the same time which makes it harder to go between applications Review Source CK Calvin K. Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kahua Works (Usually)" October 22, 2025 5.0 Kahua is very flexible in its ability to meet most requirements. However, the built-in customization and power is often not enough and requires additional developers to build app extensions. It’s quite difficult to build apps even for what should be small changes in other systems. But overall, it is extremely good at empowering business users to actually do their job once things are properly set up. Pros The best part is the flexibility of the solution and the constant improvements that are made. There are always new feature enhancements that are usually useful and you have the ability to use what you need and disable what you don’t need. Cons It’s hard to get exactly the way you want. Designing customized workflows is often very hard if you aren’t able to do things the Kahua way. The way forms are presented is not very flexible. Review Source NM Nate M. Solutions Architect Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Project Management Tool for the Full Asset Lifecycle. " September 8, 2025 5.0 Great. It's easy to use. Once your learn a few things about how to use a couple of apps, you know how to do pretty much anything. Implementation and support staff were very patient and willing to help as we ramped up. Pros Flexible platform with great workflows and the ability to manage the flow of data across processes and phases of the asset's lifecycle. Cons The platform is very configurable. You need to really spend time defining your processes to ensure you configure Kahua for the results you want. Review Source En Ping C. System Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple to Configure and Good Customer Support " September 30, 2026 5.0 It is a modern PMIS system that meets most of the user need and it’s continuous investment in AI will make the work more streamlined Pros Kahua has great customer support and the out of the box configuration is simple and easy to use. The inheritance feature also made configuration simpler as long as you design your project partition right Cons Unable to reorder attribute sequence and there is no tooltip feature at the attribute level. Landing page to login is slow Review Source AD Amy D. Project Controls Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kahua User" October 22, 2025 5.0 Have worked on 3 programs with Kahua and have enjoyed their support and encouragement. It is great to have an account manager also that can connect us with the correct team as opportunities arise. Pros Very intuitive software while agile and flexible. Easy to navigate and user friendly. Enjoy having all information in Kahua so that analytics can be used to make data driven decisions. Cons Sometimes I take issue with the speed of use. There have also been a few instances where the system ‘freezes’. Switched from [ProjectSight](https://www.capterra.com/p/253247/Project-Sight/) Did not use ProjectSight - used Prolog by Trimble. Roadmap for Prolog did not align with business needs. Review Source CH Chris H. Program Controls Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kahua keeps getting better" October 22, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience is positive with Kahua eager to help with issues. When we encounter issues Kahua has allowed us access to people all the way up to the CTO to help address our concerns. Pros The flexibility and the ability to customize the apps to the clients requirements. We have been able to write custom app extensions in K builder which has allowed us to exceed our clients expectations. Cons The stability and overall speed of Kahua. We have had issues with Kahua’s overall speed. We have brought the issue up with Kahua and they are working to resolve it.

Overall great experience Pros Easy to use, user friendly, require little to no prior knowledge of the app. The app is very flexible. Cons The app version freezes sometimes especially when you have the Microsoft teams app running or excel files.

It is a great alternative to previous tools and I would recommend it. Pros I love how the multi-edit function allows me to streamline workflow, especially when processing large amounts of items per project. Cons There are common lags in Kahua processing times for tasks. These lags can last up to a minute or more in duration, causing stress since I work on many projects daily.

Great value, excellent networking within Kahua, partners and clients. Entertainment was amazing as well Pros I felt like the information shared was timely, on point and exciting. I enjoyed hearing from clients and about their success Cons I would have liked to see more breakouts or small groups. I enjoyed learning about AI but some of the info seemed repetitive.

They're fantastic to work with and care about their user experiences. Theyarealqays innovative Pros It'a easy to use and has prebuilt options you can customize or build a custom app! They have multiple options for implementation too Cons Cam be a little overwhelming at times as you onboard and the training environments can be a little slow and buggy Review Source SS Steve S. Director Field Application Services Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kahua" June 2, 2020 4.0 Clark was an early adopter of the Kahua platform. Our previous experience with Kahua's \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] (the same team that built Constructware) meant we were among the first to learn of the new system and it's new approach to Construction Management software. The platform approach (PAAS) as opposed to the traditional, rigid, SAAS model solved many problems we'd experienced in the past and was true differentiator from the other leading products in this space. As an early adopter, it wasn't always smooth sailing though. We suffered from problems typical of new systems, but the Kahua team addressed those and we're now realizing the benefits that the platform-based system affords us as we continue to build out company-specific enhancements to our processes in the system and even entirely new applications . Pros The power of Kahua lies in it's ability to conform to the way not only your company works, but how your PROJECT works. Every company is different and every project is different. Everyone will agree that collaborative systems have the potential to make the overall team most efficient, but only if EVERYONE participates. Since every member of the team typically brings their own systems to the table, the first hurdle to overcome on a new project is whose system will we use? As a GC, we have the ability to influence the system our subcontractors use, but much less influence over what the client and design team will use. The flexibility of Kahua has enabled us to take feedback from our clients and design partners and build those features into the Kahua system so that it's not just a system built around the GC's perspective, but addresses the needs of every team member and when implemented correctly, makes the entire team more efficient. Cons The licensing model. Per-user licensing models are counter-productive. They deter companies from getting everyone on the system and often the users who get vetoed (due to cost) are the ones that either need the info the most are would potentially be some of the best contributors to the collaborative process. Licensing needs to be a simple unlimited user per project model.

Basically, in every other system out there, one party owns the system and all others are invited into it. That means the one party also owns the data and determines what data (if any) everyone else will walk away from the project with. (If you're not the hosting party and that doesn't scare you, it should.) In Kahua, every individual company sets up their own Kahua database and the databases link up to share documents and workflow throughout the project. At the end of the project, any data shared gets copied to the various parties so everyone walks away with a copy of what they had during the project. This is a huge benefit of the system and frankly one that Kahua has done a poor job of communicating to the public.3) The team. The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] of Kahua \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] are the same two guys that founded and built Constructware. We'd used Constructware since 1998, had a great relationship with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and knew they were capable of delivering a quality product.
