We’re building OBELIK
This page will document the journey: product decision, lessons learned, and steps were taking to solve a $232 Billion industry system workflow🦺👋
@JacobSobolev In complete agreement, and that is what OBELIK is built to remove the need for improvisation, by giving construction teams the foundational system they never had: traceable procurement, structured contractor evaluation, verifiable milestone payments, and connected site visibility
And somehow, this is how multi-million dollar projects are still managed across Africa.
Not because people are lazy.
Because the market has been forced to improvise.
That’s why I’m building OBELIK the system construction actually needs.

Scope changes happen in voice notes nobody can find later.
Approvals are “seen” and a thumbs-up emoji.
The audit trail disappears when someone clears the chat.
Budget updates are always “I’ll send the figures soon.”
Site photos are buried between memes, and family pictures
That is what OBELIK is designed to solve.
We’re not building a copy of a Western model.
We’re building infrastructure for African market conditions.
More as we build in public
#buildobelik#africanconstruction
OBELIK is being built for the governance layer of African construction.
Construction in Africa is not just missing better project management. It needs visibility, accountability, and systems that make procurement, contractor onboarding, milestone verification, and supply chain
Day 1 of building OBELIK in public.
Today, I mapped out the platform architecture.
6 core modules:
→ Project Creation
→ Procurement & Bidding
→ Contractor Evaluation
→ Site Monitoring
→ Supply Chain
→ Milestone Payments
This is the skeleton.
Now we build the body.
