The problem

Kenya moves 7 billion tonnes of earth a year. Most of it is booked over WhatsApp.

Contractors waste days calling brokers for quotes that never come back. Machines sit idle 40% of the week because owners can't find jobs. Nobody trusts the invoice.

Owner utilisation
38%
Average weekly utilisation of a 20-tonne excavator in Nairobi. The machine sleeps 3 days a week.
Time to book
3.2d
From first call to machine on site. Projects start late, penalties kick in, relationships sour.
Disputed invoices
1 in 4
No independent record of hours worked, no escrow, no rating system. Trust breaks down at payment.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Step 01

Find a machine near your site.

Filter by category, tonnage, dates, distance. See verified photos, operator experience, and the exact hourly rate — no "call for price."

Step 02

Book it. Pay by M-Pesa.

Pick dates, drop a site pin, confirm. Payment is held in escrow — the owner only gets paid once you confirm the job's done. No deposits to strangers.

Step 03

Machine arrives. You sign off.

Hour-meter photos at start and end settle any dispute. Rate the owner, leave a review, book again in two taps next time.

For owners

Your machines. More hours. Less chasing.

Stop calling around to find jobs. Stop chasing invoices. Let the work come to you — vetted, paid up front, with a clear scope.

  • 01Higher utilisation. Our goal: lift your fleet from 38% to 60%+ weekly utilisation in year one.
  • 02Paid before you roll. Escrow holds the fee the moment a booking is made. No more 90-day terms.
  • 03You set the price. We don't auction your machines. You list your hourly rate and it's published as-is.
  • 04You keep the relationship. Repeat renters come back to you directly through the app.

For renters

The right machine. On your site. Tomorrow.

No more WhatsApp groups, no more "let me get back to you," no more showing up to site and finding the machine isn't coming. Book it. It arrives. You pay on completion.

  • 01Transparent pricing. Every machine shows its hourly rate. What you see is what you pay. Receipts and VAT on tap.
  • 02Verified owners. Every listing has NCA credentials, logbook, and inspection photos on file.
  • 03Escrow-protected. The owner doesn't get paid until you sign off on the job. If the machine doesn't show, you don't pay.
  • 04Operators included. Every quote includes a trained operator. No need to source one separately.

Common questions

The awkward questions, answered.

When does Konstrukt actually launch?

+

We're in private beta in Q2 2026 with a select group of owners and contractors in Nairobi. Public launch is Q3 2026. Join the waitlist to get early access — beta users lock in a reduced platform fee for year one.

What's your commission?

+

15% platform fee on the hourly rate, paid by the renter on top of the owner's published price. The owner keeps 100% of their listed rate. No hidden fees, no listing fees, no monthly subscription. VAT is calculated transparently on every invoice.

How do I know the machine will actually show up?

+

Every listed owner goes through a one-time verification: NCA certificate, logbook, inspection photos, operator licence. And every booking is escrow-protected — if the machine doesn't arrive, you get a full refund automatically within 24 hours. Owners who no-show are suspended.

Do you cover Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret?

+

Not yet. Nairobi and surrounding counties first — Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado. Mombasa and Kisumu in 2027. If you're an owner or contractor in those markets, join the waitlist and tell us — we'll prioritise based on signal.

Is the operator included?

+

Yes, by default. Every listing includes a trained, NCA-registered operator with their experience and certifications visible on the machine profile. You can opt for machine-only in limited cases if you have your own certified operator.

How is this different from the plant-hire WhatsApp groups?

+

WhatsApp groups are free but unstructured: no pricing, no verification, no escrow, no ratings, no recourse. Konstrukt does one thing — make booking a machine feel as simple as booking a hotel. You pay a small fee for that reliability.
