Strukchad

About this app

Strukchad is construction management software for Kenyan contractors and developers. It brings attendance, material movement, site reports and project costs into one view, so site and office teams work from the same records. Foremen and storekeepers use the mobile app at the site. Attendance saves with no signal and syncs when the connection returns. Deliveries record delivered vs accepted quantities, and only accepted goods go into stock. Material issues log who collected them. The office gets projects with BoQ import, purchase requests, RFQs by email or WhatsApp, purchase orders with sequential approvals, stock per store and project, and budgets and costs. Projects, employees, casuals and subcontractors can be imported from Excel.

Key features

1Offline-capable attendance capture on mobile that saves without signal and syncs when connectivity returns.
2Deliveries recorded as delivered vs accepted quantities, with only accepted goods entering stock.
3BoQ import, purchase requests, email/WhatsApp RFQs, sequential PO approvals, budgets and project costs.
4Role-split pricing: Lite (KES 2,000/user/mo) for field staff, Professional (KES 5,000/user/mo) for back office.
5Excel import for projects, employees, casuals and subcontractors; 14-day free trial with no card.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Strukchad is a focused construction management product for Kenyan contractors, and the focus is its best asset. It does not try to be a global Procore clone; it names a specific buyer, a specific set of losses (labour you cannot verify, materials that do not add up, reports you cannot trust) and a specific set of fixes, with offline attendance sync and delivered-versus-accepted stock tracking as the sharpest edges. The marketing site is fast, clean and well-argued, with role-based pricing that matches how construction teams are actually structured. The gaps are credibility gaps rather than product gaps: no screenshots of the app, no public documentation, no security page, no enforced HTTPS, no customer evidence. For a product asking contractors to trust it with payment and cost data, those are the things that will decide whether the demo converts.

Measure by measure

Usability

Strong entry path: 14-day trial with no card, Excel import, demo booking, WhatsApp support and a 2½-min tour. Role-split pricing (Lite for field, Professional for office) matches the stated workflow. No public docs captured.

Design

Clean, conventional SaaS marketing site with a coherent problem→solution narrative, numbered cards and a clear hero CTA pair. Visually competent but template-standard; no distinctive brand craft visible in the fetched content.

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 99/100 (LCP 976ms, CLS 0, TBT 0ms) and desktop 100/100. Effectively instant on both form factors with zero layout shift — among the fastest marketing sites in this catalogue.

Security

HTTPS not enforced, no HSTS, no CSP; frame protection, nosniff, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy present, plus SPF and DMARC. 6/12 checklist points. No SOC 2, ISO or pen-test claims found.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 96/100 with only two failing audits: insufficient colour contrast and visible labels not matching accessible names. No WCAG statement or a11y documentation found on the site.

Growth

Sharp wedge: Kenyan contractors running labour and materials on paper, Excel and WhatsApp, with offline attendance sync and delivered-vs-accepted stock as concrete differentiators. Real problem, specific buyer, room to grow.

Improvement areas

HTTPS is not enforced and there is no HSTS or CSP — a real gap for a system holding payment and cost data.
No product screenshots or public documentation on the site; the foreman app is described but never shown.
Two Lighthouse accessibility failures: insufficient colour contrast and mismatched accessible names on labelled controls.
No customer case studies, security page, or compliance claims (SOC 2 / ISO) to support larger-developer sales.

Design & Usability

The marketing site is well-organised and does the job: a hero with a clear promise, a four-part problem section that will land with any contractor who has chased a missing delivery, a solution block, core features, a three-step 'how it works', and a foreman-focused section that correctly identifies the mobile user as the real adoption risk. Pricing is split by role — Lite at KES 2,000 for field staff, Professional at KES 5,000 for back office — which is a genuinely sensible model for construction, where you have thirty site users and three office users. The 14-day no-card trial, Excel import and 2½-minute tour lower the entry barrier for a buyer who is not digitally mature. What is missing is proof: no product screenshots on the homepage, no public documentation, and no customer evidence beyond generic trust copy.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout measured result: Lighthouse mobile 99/100 with a 976ms LCP, zero cumulative layout shift and zero total blocking time, and a perfect 100 on desktop. For a product whose users are on site with patchy connectivity, a fast marketing site is a small but real signal. Security is where the picture weakens. The probe found HTTPS not enforced, no HSTS and no Content-Security-Policy, scoring 6/12 on the header checklist, though frame protection, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, SPF and DMARC are all in place. No SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration test or bug bounty is claimed anywhere on the site. For a system that will hold labour rates, supplier payments and project costs, the absence of a security page and enforced TLS is a gap worth closing before selling to larger developers.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 96/100 on the automated Lighthouse audit, with only two failures: insufficient colour contrast and visible text labels that do not match their accessible names. Both are fixable in an afternoon and both matter for a product used outdoors on phones in bright Kenyan sunlight, where contrast is not a compliance nicety but a usability requirement. There is no accessibility statement or WCAG claim on the site. Growth is the more interesting question. The target is specific — Kenyan contractors and developers — and the pain is real and expensive: unverifiable labour, materials that do not reconcile, reports that arrive too late to act on. The differentiators are concrete rather than marketing: attendance that saves offline and syncs later, deliveries recorded as delivered versus accepted with only accepted goods entering stock, RFQs by email or WhatsApp, and sequential purchase-order approvals. Against an alternatives list of Excel and WhatsApp, that is a genuine step up. The limit is market maturity: selling software into a segment that has never bought software is a long, education-heavy sale, and the domain is under a year old.

Conclusion

If you are a Kenyan contractor currently running attendance on a paper book and materials on a WhatsApp group, Strukchad is aimed squarely at you and the 14-day no-card trial costs nothing but time. Take the demo, but ask two questions before you commit: where is the security documentation, and can I see the foreman app before I sign up thirty site users to it? If those answers are good, the offline sync alone may justify the Lite tier. If they are vague, wait a quarter and check again.

Suggestions for improvement

Put real product screenshots on the homepage — the foreman mobile view and the project cost dashboard are the two things buyers need to see.
Enforce HTTPS and add HSTS and a Content-Security-Policy; publish a short security page covering data storage, backups and access control.
Fix the two Lighthouse accessibility failures: colour contrast and accessible names on labelled controls.
Publish a docs/help centre and at least one named customer case study with before-and-after numbers on material reconciliation.
