What’s complicating campus capital decisions?

Limited portfolio visibility

You’re managing work across campuses, facilities, and outside partners. When updates live in separate tools, risks can surface later than they should.

Funding and audit pressure

Your projects may draw from gifts, grants, bonds, state funds, and capital budgets. When costs aren’t tied to funding, reporting and audits get harder.

Legacy tools and lean teams

Aging facilities, research upgrades, athletics, housing, and medical campus work don’t slow down—even when teams are overextended or systems can’t keep up.

The Kahua Platform

Solutions for higher ed institutions

Track funding sources

Track grants, bonds, gifts, and capital budgets on their own timelines. See what funding is available, what has been committed, and where coverage gaps could affect campus project decisions.

Sources of funds

Complete cost management

Keep campus cost information current as projects move forward. When budgets or scope change, facilities and finance teams can see the effect without re-running the numbers from separate updates.

Analytics and reporting

Give leaders a clear, up-to-date view of the metrics that matter to them before the next board or executive review. No last-minute reporting scrambles.

Kahua Analytics

Project controls

Move reviews and approvals into a single record, so campus teams can see what was submitted, who took action, and how decisions changed cost, scope, or schedule as the project moved forward.

Collaboration and workflows
A person in a gray sweater uses a laptop on a wooden table by a window. The screen displays charts, graphs, and tables with financial or business data.

Asset-centric project management

Capture data about the facility’s assets while construction is still active, so operations teams are not chasing after model numbers, maintenance details, warranties, or other info after the campus or facility opens.

What higher ed customers say about Kahua

Prior to [integrating Kahua with our ERP], they not only had to manually put it into our ERP for payment, but they also had to then document it in the secondary system. So it was sometimes work in triplicate.
