Projects Technologies Premium Properties

Engineering discipline, applied to projects, systems and places.

A South African group that brings engineering control to infrastructure delivery, business systems and premium property, and leaves capability behind when the work is done.

The group

One discipline. Three subsidiaries.

OtherX is a South African group built on one discipline: applying engineering control to projects. We bring together project delivery, digital systems and premium living experiences, underpinned by the same engineering discipline, commercial thinking and commitment to lasting impact. What is developed in one subsidiary is strengthened in the others.

OtherX Projects

Project management offices, project finance support and feasibility work.

OtherX Technologies

Systems built for clients, and two products of our own that are live in market.

OtherX Premium Properties

Properties designed, funded, systemised and hosted inside the group.

From concept to completion

Project offices that outlive the project.

We establish project management offices and run them, and we stay with a project from the case for funding through to close-out.

Project management offices: Set up, staffed and run, with the governance, controls and reporting a high-performance functional project management office requires. We operate the office and train the people who take it over from us.
Project finance support: From readiness scoping and due diligence through to conditions precedent, then maintained through implementation and close-out, including the obligations that survive completion.
Feasibility and early studies: The technical, commercial and permitting work that establishes whether a project is worth taking forward, and on what terms.

From spreadsheets to systems

Built from inside the work, not imposed on it.

Software built for the operating realities of infrastructure and project finance. We convert manual and spreadsheet-based processes into governed systems where information is captured once, held auditably, and visible to each party entitled to see it, applying artificial intelligence where it measurably reduces effort.

A process systemised: A process that currently lives in spreadsheets and email threads, built into a system in your own environment and handed over with the schema, the documentation and the credentials.
Data and reporting: Reliable, decision-ready information, with the recurring reports that are assembled by hand every month built once and left running.
Training and handover: Everything is built in accounts that belong to you. Your team can run and change the system without us.

Infrastructure and climate finance

Every condition, with the evidence that closes it.

A financed project carries hundreds of obligations: conditions precedent, covenants, environmental and social action plan items, drawdown conditions and reporting dates. Held in spreadsheets and email threads, answering a single lender question becomes a two-day search, and a drawdown waits while somebody looks for a document.

Capital Governance holds them in one register. Each obligation carries an owner, a due date, and the document that evidences it attached to the item itself. A developer, a lender and a technical adviser each work from the same records, scoped so that every party sees what it is entitled to see. Every change is written to an append-only history, so you can show what was true on a given date rather than argue about it, and the data room is searchable inside that same scope.

It was built out of live governance work on an internationally financed programme, governing conditions precedent across drawdowns and an environmental and social action plan against IFC Performance Standards.

Tax and operational finance

Claim every rand you are owed.

The South African Revenue Service is specific about proof. A travel claim needs a logbook with opening and closing readings and the business purpose of every trip. An expense claim needs the receipt. Reconstruct a year of that in March and you are estimating, and estimates are what get disallowed.

Expenstry captures it while it happens. Photograph a receipt and it is read and filed. Start a trip and the logbook records it, with business and private separated at the moment of travel instead of at year end. When the return is due, you export a pack your accountant can work from, in the form SARS expects.

Built for South African self-employed professionals and small businesses, and live on the web and on Google Play with paying subscribers.

Also built for the group

OtherX Technologies builds the systems OtherX Premium Properties runs on. The property management system covers security management and the general operations of a property, from guest registration and identity verification before arrival through to the running of the stay. It was shaped by live operation rather than by a specification, and it works on every booking at Casa Sunshine.

03OtherX Premium Properties

From empty to earning

Designed, funded, systemised and hosted by the same people.

We take a property from an empty shell to a listed, running asset, and then we keep running it. The interior design, the funding, the software and the hosting all sit inside the group, so there is no point in the chain where the standard passes to someone else.

Designed and furnished in-house: The interior is designed and furnished by us. The layout, the furniture and the artwork are chosen for a stay of a week rather than a night, which is a different brief and shows in the room.
Funded from within the group: Casa Sunshine was established and is run entirely from within the group, with no external finance, so the standard of the fit-out answered to us and to nobody else.
Property management, end to end: Our properties run on a property management system developed under OtherX Technologies, born out of operational experience. It carries guest registration and identity verification, which supports the safety and security of the property and of the people staying in it. We onboard properties onto the guest booking platforms and run them end to end, from listing through to check-out.
