Kampala–Wakiso vacancy cycled 8–12% in 2025; Entebbe gated blocks held yield. Bara's 2,400+ projects and 580+ vendors provide field data for this analysis. Regional nuance: UG/KE/TZ code profiles and supply chains differ, but Bara encodes them as constants with Firestore overrides.
How Bara + Treenant solve it
How Bara + Treenant work together — Property view
- Property → Block → Unit is your building map (e.g., “Nakawa Heights → Block A → Apt 12”).
- One record links rent, costs and documents to the right unit.
- Owners set rent & billing; tenants see the same unit in Treenant.
- Marketplace & house plans attach to the property.

Step-by-step workflow
1. Create — property/project or tenancy in `app.bara.ink` or Bara Owner App. 2. Configure — NRM2 units, code profile, billingCycle, currency (UGX default), blocks/units. 3. Execute — marketplace procurement or ledger proof submission via Treenant Mobile Money (MoMo Mobile Money). 4. Reconcile — BOQ vs actuals or portfolio snapshot recomputed; export PDF/Excel via `jspdf` + `xlsx`.
