Case Study: a leading private real estate investment firm streamlines project management with Kahua

Kahua for Commercial Real Estate - Ease of Implementation & Delegation of Authority

A leading private real estate investment firm on the West Coast was in need of a new construction project management information system (PMIS) to support its rapid growth. This firm, which owns and operates over 10 million square feet of property, required a solution focused on project management that could be implemented quickly, integrate with other systems, and reduce duplicate data entry. The company selected Kahua's project management technology for owners after it was chosen for its ability to create a streamlined delegation of authority and update contracts across all projects.

Kahua implemented its solution, which included its best practice suite, for the customer in just four months. The system provided robust cost and contract management, offering the flexibility for different divisions to operate within a single hierarchical structure. A key result was the automation of the delegation of authority approval process, which replaced manual workflows in Word and email. This ensured budgets and contracts were routed to the correct individuals based on dollar amounts, providing top-down and bottom-up visibility and streamlining the firm's entire project management lifecycle.
