into working systems.
Detailed breakdowns of the websites, internal platforms and operational tools we have designed and built for real business use.
Production-grade tools,
not drag-and-drop.
Every system we build uses the same technologies that power modern SaaS platforms — chosen for reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
We don't just use languages.
We build them too — Kittine.
Kittine (.kitty) is a small custom programming language created by BuildsByBuchanan, compiling to real Leptos/Rust and running natively in the browser via WebAssembly. It's part of our open-source contribution to the developer community, and one of the tools in our stack when a project calls for something leaner and faster than a typical JS framework.
A clear process.
Zero surprises.
Every project follows a structured process. You know exactly what's happening at every stage — from the first call to deployment and ongoing support.
BuildsByBuchanan is a Cape Town-based software and automation company building custom business systems, workflow automation, web applications, and operational tools for South African businesses — from a first online presence to a fully integrated technology platform.
Founded by Sivario Buchanan and Enrico Fortuin, we operate as a focused two-person studio. Sivario leads design and development. Enrico — who previously ran Fortune Consulting — handles client relations and project operations. You deal directly with us throughout every project.
We work with businesses that need reliable, production-grade technology — not page-builder templates, not offshore outsourcing, not vague delivery timelines. Every project is scoped precisely, built to specification, and delivered with post-launch support available as standard.
Sivario Buchanan builds it. Enrico Fortuin (formerly Fortune Consulting) handles operations. You deal with us directly, start to finish.
