I rely on my contractor’s tool—why should I use Kahua?

Alongside owning the project, data is one of the most valuable assets you have. When you use a contractor’s system, you only see what they share and have zero control over what data is being captured, how and the quality of the data. Once the project ends or the contractor changes, you risk losing access to critical information. Kahua ensures you fully own your project data, improving real-time visibility and risk management. It’s your data—not your contractor’s or vendor’s—keep it secure, accessible and in your control with Kahua.
