Why sites leak money
You find out about overspend after the money has already left..
Site leakage hides behind late visibility. By the time you notice money moving faster than planned, work slipping behind, or costs drifting, the damage is already done.
01Approved on a call, not on record
A verbal go-ahead turns into a purchase nobody can trace back to who agreed it.
02Paid first, checked later
Cash and transfers go out on site, and the reconciling happens weeks after you could have stopped it.
03Overruns found at month-end
A budget line quietly runs over, and you see it only when the report lands and the margin is gone.
MjengoKit shows you each of these while you can still act on them..
The Solution
Connect every shilling to the work it funds.
MjengoKit runs every site expense through one flow, so you see overspend while you can still stop it.
01
Requisition
Every expense starts as a written request, not a phone call.
02
Approval
The right person approves before any money moves, and it's on record.
03
Payment
Pay by M-Pesa or bank straight from the approved request, so nothing goes out unmatched.
Project Money Flow
Money moves clockwise from requisition to approval to payment.
Every payment has context: what was requested, why it was needed, what work it supports and what budget it affects.Overspend shows up as it happens, not at month-end.
Financial Control
Every outflow starts with a requisition.
Keep project payments tied to a request and approval instead of allowing money to leave without context.
Materials, casual labour, subcontractors and
overheads
Approval before payment
Payment allocation and project statement
Budget + Work
Know what the money is building.
Organize planned project costs around milestones, cost items and quantities, then connect actual spending to the work package it supports.

Questions contractors ask
How do I track construction expenses in Kenya?
Every site expense starts as a requisition in MjengoKit, is approved by the right person, then paid and recorded against that request. Each shilling is tied to a project, a budget line and an approval, so you see spending as it happens instead of at month-end.
Can I pay site workers and suppliers by M-Pesa from the app?
Yes. You can pay suppliers and labour by M-Pesa or bank directly from the approved request. Each payment is timestamped and linked to the requisition it paid for.
How do I stop overspending on a construction project?
Set a budget for each project and cost category. MjengoKit compares every requisition against that budget, so overspend shows before you approve it, not when the month-end report arrives.
Does MjengoKit handle PAYE, NSSF, SHA and Housing Levy for site labour?
Yes. Construction payroll calculates PAYE, NSSF, SHA and Housing Levy deductions, so site labour is paid correctly and the records are ready for filing.
Can I manage more than one construction site?
Yes. Every project sits in one view, so you can compare spending and budgets across sites from your phone without calling each site manager.
Do I need a computer to use MjengoKit on site?
No. MjengoKit is cloud based and works in the browser on any phone, so site managers can raise requests and owners can approve them from wherever they are.
