Cash Flow

Never get caught short on site again.

Construction firms in Kenya lose margin because invoices are not chased and cash gaps are not seen until it is too late. Lobocon tracks every shilling in and out, flags overdue payments, and tells you your runway before the problem arrives.

The problem

Cash gaps do not appear suddenly. They build up quietly.

The warning signs are there weeks in advance — if you are looking at the right numbers.

Before Lobocon

xYou find out the site has run out of cash on a Friday when suppliers stop delivering.
xCash flow forecasting means exporting invoices to Excel and doing the sums manually.
xOutstanding invoices live in someone's email. Nobody knows what is overdue until it causes a problem.
xThe client asks about retention and you have to call the accounts office to find out.
xNo visibility into whether billing is keeping up with work earned on site.

Know 90 days out before the cash runs out

The 90-day forecast projects your closing balance forward at the current burn rate. Green bars are healthy, amber bars are warning, red bars mean the cash runs out. At 47 days remaining you see the alert now — not when suppliers stop delivering on a Friday.

Common questions

What Kenya-based PMs ask us first.

Email us at sales@lobocon.co if your question is not here.

What is construction cash flow forecasting?

Construction cash flow forecasting tracks the timing of cash coming in from client payments against cash going out for expenses, labor, and materials. It tells you how many days of runway you have and flags when outstanding invoices need to be chased before the site runs out of funds.

How does Lobocon calculate cash flow?

Lobocon builds cash flow from two sources: expenses logged against the project and client invoices raised. One click calculates a snapshot — opening balance, cash in, cash out, closing balance, and projected balance — for any period you choose.

What is cash runway?

Cash runway is the number of days the project can continue at the current burn rate before the closing balance reaches zero. Lobocon calculates this automatically and alerts you when it drops below your warning threshold.

Does it track retention?

Yes. Every invoice can carry a retention percentage. Lobocon tracks total retention held and retention due for release separately so you always know what you are owed by the client at practical completion.

What payment methods are supported?

MPESA, bank transfer, cheque, and cash. All standard Kenyan payment methods are supported when recording invoice payments.

Is this built for Kenya and East Africa?

Yes. Lobocon is built in Kenya for construction firms in Kenya and East Africa. All values are in KES by default and the invoice structure follows standard Kenyan construction practice including progress payments, advance payments, variation orders, and retention releases.
