Archt

How Archt works

Five steps between you and your finished building

Every Archt project moves through the same five stages — designed so you never take a leap of faith, never lump-sum a contractor, and never lose visibility of what's happening on your site.

1

Pick or brief a plan

Browse the marketplace of 500+ architect-designed plans, or brief a listed architect for a bespoke design. CAD sets and specification sheets ship with every plan.

Filter by bedrooms, budget, style, floors, site size
Preview all elevations and floor plans before purchase
AI-assisted customisation brief helps you converge with the architect fast
2

Assemble your team

Match with a KYC-verified contractor and an independent construction supervisor. Bids are itemised, side-by-side comparable, and public within your project.

All contractors KYC-verified: NCA registration, tax PIN, past-project ratings
Independent supervisor never works for the contractor
Materials vendors and landscapers optional add-ons to your team
3

Fund milestones

Load your BuildSafe wallet by milestone — never lump sum. Payments release only after the supervisor signs off on that stage.

M-Pesa, Airtel Money, bank wire, and international card
USD, KES, and GBP settlement
Every disbursement produces a receipt and audit line
4

Track progress remotely

Weekly progress updates from your supervisor. Optional CAA-licensed drone flights for aerial, topographic, and inspection imagery.

Photo evidence attached to every milestone claim
Optional weekly drone flyover for large sites
Live dashboard your family or lender can view read-only
5

Handover

The final tranche is held until your walkthrough is signed. From that moment your warranty period starts — auto-tracked so nothing slips.

Snag-list workflow before final release
90-day defect warranty (extendable) tracked in-platform
Full document pack: as-built drawings, certificates, receipts

What makes it safe

Three structural pieces stop the failure modes most construction projects run into.

BuildSafe escrow

Milestone-based release, disputes routed through platform arbitration before touching civil courts.

Independent supervision

Your supervisor is paid by you, not the contractor. Their sign-off unlocks the next tranche.

Diaspora-safe

FX-transparent settlement, remote sign-off flows, and family-view links for on-ground kin.
