The Problem

Why Construction Budgets Spiral Out of Control in Nigeria

Traditional cost-estimation and material ordering methods are slow, inefficient, and highly prone to contractor inflated lists.

Contractors Inflate Your Material List

Without professional oversight, material orders are frequently inflated by 30% to 40% by builders, costing you millions of Naira in waste.

Quantity Surveyors Cost ₦200,000+

Hiring a traditional Quantity Surveyor to draw up a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is expensive, takes several weeks, and is unaffordable for self-builders.

Material Prices Change Every Week

With cement, iron rod, and sand prices fluctuating on a weekly basis, traditional static estimates lead to sudden budget shortfalls mid-project.

Reviews

What Builders Are Saying

Early feedback from homeowners and developers testing our cost estimation approach.

“Using this tool saved me over ₦5,000,000 on my 3-bedroom bungalow build in Lekki. The contractor's quote ordered 450 bags of cement, but the AI correctly computed that we only needed 320. It was accurate to within 3 bags!”

David Bello

Self-Builder, Lagos, Nigeria

“We now use these reports to verify all our sub-contractor bids. The speed is unbelievable — we can audit three separate quotes in under half an hour. It has completely changed how we handle cost-control.”

Sarah Jenkins

Lead Project Developer, Abuja, Nigeria

“Having a clean, structured BOQ that exports instantly makes securing pre-approvals from our commercial lending partners exceptionally easy. It answers exactly what they need to see on day one.”
