ABOUT BUILDWATCH
THE TRUST GAP
IS NOT A DISTANCE
PROBLEM.
BuildWatch is a B2C SaaS platform that gives diaspora Nigerians real-time, independently verified visibility into their construction projects back home. A trained inspector network, milestone-gated escrow, and a mobile dashboard eliminate the trust gap between diaspora clients and Nigerian contractors.
ON THE GROUND
Independent eyes,
six minutes away — not 6,000 miles.
Most diaspora builders rely on WhatsApp photos from contractors — often staged, often outdated. BuildWatch replaces blind trust with verified evidence: GPS-tagged captures, structured checklists, and engineers who answer to you, not to the person holding the cash.
Our inspector network operates across Nigerian build stages — from foundation and DPC through block work, roofing, plaster, and finishing — so every milestone is documented before money moves.
WHAT WE DO
Three layers of protection for every project.
Trained inspector network
Vetted civil engineers and site inspectors visit your project on schedule. GPS check-in confirms they are on site. Photos are captured live in-app — never from a camera roll.
Milestone-gated escrow
Funds release only after an inspector verifies each build stage. Contractors get paid for real progress; you are protected from premature or fraudulent drawdowns.
Mobile dashboard
Reports, photos, checklists, and alerts land on your phone in real time — whether you are in London, Houston, Toronto, or Lagos coordinating remotely.
OUR MISSION
Build in Nigeria with the same confidence you would at home.
Over $2 billion is remitted annually for Nigerian construction — yet the majority of diaspora builders still report contractor fraud or material misrepresentation. The problem is not lack of money or ambition. It is lack of independent oversight.
BuildWatch exists to close that gap: a B2C platform built for Nigerians abroad who refuse to choose between building back home and sleeping soundly at night.
