The challenges of building from abroad
No visibility on progress
You send money but have no way to verify what's actually happening on site. Photos come sporadically, if at all.
Budget disappears
Costs spiral without explanation. You're asked for more money but can't see where the original budget went.
Trust is hard to build
Horror stories from friends and family make you hesitant. How do you know your contractor is reliable?
How SiteBooks protects your investment
Daily photo updates
See what's happening on your site every day. Timestamped photos give you visual proof of progress.
Real-time budget tracking
Every shilling is accounted for. See exactly what's been spent, on what, and how it compares to the estimate.
Milestone-based payments
Payments are organised around the milestones you agree with your contractor, so every payment maps to work you can see. Milestone-held payments are coming soon.
Verified contractors
Work with contractors who run their projects on professional tools, with identity verification (KYC) built into onboarding.
Diaspora early-access cohort
A safer way to build back home
We are working closely with our first group of diaspora clients building in Kenya. We help you vet your contractor, set up the project, and stay on top of progress until completion.
