Cost and crew control SaaS for civil contractors
Sakha. Run the whole site from one contract to the next
A digital solution to run the execution side of a civil construction contract, QS-style budgets, planned-vs-actual cost tracking, crew timesheets, site diaries, and subcontractor spend, all in one platform.
Built for how civil contracting actually works
Sakha isn't a cut-down version of a bigger product, it's built around one contract on one site.
Budgets built the way QS actually works
Cost categories that match a civil/JBCC-style bill of quantities, labor, plant, subcontract, material, prelim, provisional, so your budget structure is the one your QS already uses, not a generic line-item list.
Planned vs. actual, always current
Costs are sourced live from budget items, approved timesheets, and coded supplier invoices, so committed and actual cost roll up automatically instead of living in a monthly spreadsheet reconciliation.
Labor paid and tracked by the hour
Crew timesheets with BCEA-aligned overtime multipliers, bulk crew-entry for a whole day's hours across many workers, and a weekly submit → approve workflow that locks entries once approved.
Who is Sakha for?
Compliant with
Built around South African civil-contracting standards and requirements.
