Chief Chinedu Edward Makama, MBA
Managing Director
An architect by training, Chief Makama founded Artemis Atelier in 2010 with one conviction: building in Nigeria should never require blind trust. He holds an MBA from Nexford University and brings many years of consulting experience across the architecture, engineering and construction industry. That mix of design skill and business discipline shaped the systems clients rely on today, including open-book costing, inspected stage payments and live site access.
Inspection team
Who checks each stage before you pay
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.

Arch. E.A. Nwabueze · Adjunct inspector
Engr. Bello Hasani · Inspector
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.
Panel firm · being appointed · Structural and concrete works

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
Independent and client-appointed inspection fees are agreed separately. Inspection plans are written into your contract.
Our studio in Anthony Village, Lagos is where design, costing, legal and site teams sit together, so the people who draw your building, price it and inspect it talk to each other every day. Clients are welcome to visit by appointment.
“Great design starts with listening—to the client, the site, and each other.”
