Scott Unger is the co-founder and CEO of Kahua, where he helps guide the company’s platform strategy and long-term vision. Since co-founding Kahua in 2009, he has focused on building a configurable platform that gives construction teams more control, more flexibility, and less friction. His work centers on helping owners, builders, and partners manage increasingly complex capital programs with technology that adapts to their processes rather than forcing them into rigid software.
Scott started his career on the contracting side as the co-founder of Nix-Unger Construction, then moved into construction technology with Constructware, where he helped pioneer one of the industry’s early web-based SaaS project controls platforms. After Constructware was acquired by Autodesk, he continued shaping the future of construction technology before launching Kahua with Brian on a new thesis: owners needed a durable, configurable platform built for governance, accountability, and the next wave of innovation. That entrepreneurial perspective continues to shape his leadership, from platform architecture and compliance to AI and long-term customer value.
