For Nigerians building from abroad
Stage payments released only after each stage is inspected, an open-book bill of quantities, and a live site camera, so you can manage your build from London, Houston, Toronto or Sydney.
No obligation. No payment required to speak with us. RC 1484495.
The question every diaspora client asks
Will they disappear with my money?
Each payment covers one stage. It is only due after our inspection team has checked the previous stage, and you can bring in an independent inspector too.
Will they inflate the cost of materials?
An itemised BOQ: every bag of cement and tonne of rebar, checkable against our live material price tracker.
Will they use inferior materials?
Rebar sizes, block quality and concrete cube tests are checked at the stage gates.
Is the project actually progressing?
A live camera, dated weekly reports, drone or video walk-rounds, and your own client portal.
Building from abroad
You make the decisions from where you live. We do the work on the ground and show you the proof at every step.
Step 1
Free call
Tell us your plot, budget and timeline, on video or WhatsApp at a time that suits your time zone.
Step 2
Land and site check
Send the documents. We check the plot, access and soil, and work with your lawyer on the title.
Step 3
Design and approvals
Approve the design and 3D visuals on video calls. We prepare the drawings and permit application.
Step 4
BOQ and contract
Review every line of the open-book BOQ, then sign a contract with stages and inspections built in.
Step 5
Build, watched live
Follow the live camera and weekly reports. Pay each stage only after it has been inspected.

Handover
Receive the keys, as-built drawings, certificates and a 6–12 month defects period.
Your building-from-abroad toolkit
How your money is protected
Each layer catches what the one before might miss. Together they mean you never pay for work you haven’t seen.
Stage payments
You pay for one stage at a time, never ahead of the work.
Inspection
Every stage is checked before you pay: by our team, an independent firm, or your own inspector.
Open-book BOQ
Every bag of cement and tonne of rebar itemised, so you can compare with market prices.
Insurance
Contractor’s all-risk cover with a NAICOM-licensed insurer you choose, in your name.
Written contract
Scope, payments, changes and disputes agreed in writing before work starts.
Inspection before every payment
Every stage is inspected before you pay for the next one. Use our team, add an independent firm, bring your own inspector, or combine them.
Option A · Included in every build
Our inspection team
Checks each stage against the drawings and sends you the report before the next payment is due.
Option B · Independent of Artemis
An independent firm from our panel
Choose one of three to four outside COREN-registered firms to check the stages you want, for a second opinion that doesn’t work for us.
Firms are named here as each agreement is signed.
Option C · Your choice
Bring your own inspector
Any qualified engineer or surveyor you choose. We give them site access at each stage gate and share the drawings and bill of quantities; their fee is paid by you.
Whoever inspects, the rule is the same: no report, no payment. See the stage gates
Reporting you can check yourself
Not a relative’s phone photos: dated, regular evidence you can check from anywhere.
An extra layer of protection
Alongside our reporting and stage inspections, you insure your project with a NAICOM-licensed insurer of your choice. We give them the drawings, BOQ and programme they need, and the policy for contractor’s all-risk and public liability cover is issued in your name. The insurer and policy are confirmed in writing in your contract.
Coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and deductibles of the policy issued. We walk you through exactly what is covered before your first payment.
Depending on your project, cover may include
Contractors’ all risks
Physical loss or damage during construction.
Third-party / public liability
Claims involving injury or property damage to others.
Construction plant and equipment
Damage or loss of equipment used on your site.
Fire and theft-related risks
Depending on the specific policy issued.
Policies are issued by the insurer you choose, not by Artemis Atelier Ltd. You receive the policy number, coverage schedule and claims procedure directly.
