Self-hosted. BoQ-native. Compliance-ready. Built by an operator with 20+ years on the client side of major builds. No SaaS fees. No data hostage. No generic PM tool pretending to understand construction.
Most "project management" tools were built for software teams and reframed as "good enough" for construction. Nexus inverts that — construction-native from the first commit.
Bill of Quantities is the spine of a construction project anywhere in Africa — not a feature in an "advanced plan." Nexus puts BoQ at the center, with line-item tracking, variation linking, certificate roll-up, and a rates library that reflects local market practice.
Every variation has an originator, an approver, and a timestamp. Every certificate is reconciled against actual progress. Every RFI has an SLA timer. Nothing slips into the fog that consumes most projects.
Install Nexus on your cPanel, your VPS, your office desktop. Your project data never leaves your control. No vendor lock-in. No "we're sunsetting this product" emails after you've onboarded 40 projects.
"Every CapEx project I ever ran lived on spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and ad-hoc PDFs. We were managing $40M builds with $9 software. So I built Nexus."
Jabali Mbuo is a Swiss-trained operator with 20+ years on the client side of major build projects across East Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Nexus is the tool he wished existed.
Line-item BoQs with section subtotals, rates library, variation linking, PDF export. Imports from Excel.
Submit, approve, reject — with originator, approver, timestamp, and cost impact. Auto-rolls up.
Generate IPCs aligned with African industry practice. Auto-reconciles work, retention, variations, prior payments.
Track Requests for Information with SLA timers, source/recipient tracking, queryable history per project.
Phase plans, dependencies, slippage alerts, weekly digest emails. Nothing rots in your inbox.
Tax PIN, VAT, withholding tax, contractor-board, environmental and social-security fields — native and configurable for your country, not afterthoughts.
BoQs, variations, certificates, RFIs, minutes — every document exports as polished PDF with your branding.
Per-user roles. Per-project membership. Audit log on every change. The truth-telling triangle, codified.
Every plan is a one-time payment for a perpetual license on one production domain.
For independent QSs and small contractors getting started.
For owner's reps and contractors who need to close the loop on cost.
For PM firms and developers running buildings post-handover.
