Why Archt?
Six things that turn a construction project from a leap of faith into a manageable process.
Architect-designed plans
Every plan is drafted by a Board-of-Registration architect. CAD-native, ready for site customisation, priced from KES 25 000.
BuildSafe escrow
Milestone payments held in escrow, released only when your supervisor signs off. No lump-sum deposits, no runaway contractors.
Vetted supervision
Independent construction supervisors verify every stage — foundation, superstructure, finishes — before the next tranche unlocks.
Drone-verified progress
CAA-licensed operators fly aerial and topographic surveys on request. Weekly progress imagery arrives in your dashboard.
Diaspora-first
Pay in USD, KES, or GBP. Watch progress from Boston, London, or Toronto. Sign off milestones remotely.
M-Pesa native
STK Push and Paybill for local payments. Wire and card for international. All reconciled in one ledger.
How it works
Four steps from picking a plan to handover — same for you whether you're next door or in the diaspora.
- Step 1
Pick a plan
Browse the marketplace or brief an architect for a custom design. Every plan ships with a CAD set.
- Step 2
Assemble your team
Match with a KYC-verified contractor and an independent supervisor. Bids are visible and comparable.
- Step 3
Fund milestones
Load your escrow wallet by milestone, not lump sum. Payments release on supervisor sign-off.
- Step 4
Handover
Final milestone releases only after your walk-through. Warranty period auto-tracked from day one.
What builders say
Real owners, real projects. No stock photos.
“I ran the whole project from London. Weekly drone photos and milestone sign-offs meant I always knew exactly what stage we were at.”
Adhiambo N.
Homeowner, London → Kisumu
“Escrow changed everything. My contractor knew he'd be paid on time — I knew he'd earned it. Zero disputes across three months.”
Peter K.
Homeowner, Nairobi
“The plan I bought was clean CAD. My architect adapted it to my site in two days instead of the four weeks a bespoke design would've taken.”

Client, Kiambu
