Cape Town-based software company.
Founder-led, start to finish.
BuildsByBuchanan is a Cape Town-based software and automation company — founded by Sivario Buchanan and Enrico Fortuin. We build custom business systems, workflow automation, web applications, and operational tools for South African businesses. A registered PTY LTD.
Previously founder of Fortune Consulting. Merged with BuildsByBuchanan to form a unified brand.
enrico@buildsbybuchanan.comBuildsByBuchanan was founded by Sivario Buchanan and Enrico Fortuin. Enrico had been running Fortune Consulting independently; Sivario was building websites and digital tools for South African businesses. When the work started overlapping, merging into one brand was the obvious move.
Today, BuildsByBuchanan operates as a focused two-person software studio. The people behind it are Sivario and Enrico. The mission is unchanged: build production-grade software at prices that make sense for the South African market, and remain accountable to every client long after launch.
This is not a build-and-disappear agency. Every client gets a direct line to the founders, ongoing maintenance options, and a team that treats your system as an asset worth protecting long-term.
We also build our own tools. Kittine is a custom programming language created in-house, compiling to real Leptos/Rust and running in the browser via WebAssembly — one more option in our stack alongside React, Next.js, and Node.js. Read more in our Articles section, or view the source on GitHub.
