KolaHeritage SiteCheck · Independent Site Verification

Before you release the next payment, know what is really on ground.

A KolaHeritage engineer visits your site anywhere in Nigeria, checks the work against your drawings point by point, and sends you a written verdict with dated, geo-tagged photos within 48 hours. You decide about the money after that.

Carried out by a registered construction firm, CAC RC-7297222. Not a middleman. Not an agent. Engineers who build.

01

The problem nobody says out loud

The photos your contractor sends prove one thing only: someone took photos. Progress can be staged. Blocks can be arranged in front of another person’s site. Defects can be plastered over the day before your video call.

You are releasing millions based on a WhatsApp gallery you cannot verify, sent by the person who benefits from your trust.

Every abandoned building you passed on your last trip home started exactly this way: money moving faster than truth.

02

An engineer in your corner, on your site

SiteCheck puts a construction engineer on your site who answers to you alone. Not to your contractor. Not to your relatives. To you.

What we check
  • Work done, verified against your drawings on a 40-point stage checklist
  • The contractor’s claimed progress against what is physically there
  • Materials on site: brands, condition, whether they match what you paid for
  • Defects, each graded Critical, Major or Minor, with a photo reference
What you receive
  • A written report within 48 hours of the visit
  • 20 or more dated, geo-tagged photographs
  • One clear verdict, and a 15-minute debrief call to walk you through it
  • Recommended actions before any further payment moves

ON PLAN

Work matches drawings and claimed progress. Money may be released.

DEVIATIONS NOTED

Specific items depart from plan. Resolve them before the next release.

SERIOUS CONCERNS

Material defects or misrepresented progress. Do not release further funds.

Add-ons that compound
  • Independent BOQ audit: we re-quantify your contractor’s quote line by line and show you where it is fat, thin or missing
  • Title and land verification: registry search, survey validation and a red-flag summary before you commit to any land
  • Cost-to-complete estimate: the true cost of finishing a stalled building, credited against our contract if you engage us to complete it
04

Priced for your site, not from a brochure

A single duplex in Sango-Ota and a twelve-building estate in Enugu are not the same job, so we do not pretend they cost the same. Your quote is built from what your project actually is:

  • Number of structures: one building, several, or a whole estate
  • Build stage and how deep the checklist must go
  • Location and logistics: we travel anywhere in Nigeria, and distance is quoted transparently, never smuggled in
  • Whether drawings exist, or we inspect against good practice
  • Frequency: one visit, milestone visits, or monthly watch
  • Add-ons you attach, quoted as one clean package

Send your details on WhatsApp and a written quote lands within 24 hours. The number you receive is the number you pay. Nothing is added on ground.

05

How it works

STEP1

Tell us about the site.

Location, what is being built, what stage the contractor claims, and what you want verified. Two minutes on WhatsApp.

STEP2

Get your written quote in 24 hours.

One number covering everything, including logistics. Payment goes only to our corporate account. Never to any individual.

STEP3

We visit. You get the truth in 48 hours.

GPS check-in, the 40-point checklist, the photo file, the verdict, and a debrief call. Then you decide what happens to your money.

The Independence Guarantee

We will never ask to take over your project.

Our report exists to tell you the truth, not to win us your construction contract. We do not solicit the takeover of any project we are paid to inspect, and nothing is discussed with your contractor or anyone on site. Findings go to you alone. If you ever want more from us, that decision is yours to raise.

Straight answers

No. We inspect anywhere in Nigeria. Sites beyond our Ogun and Lagos base simply carry a transparent logistics line in the quote, agreed before we move.

We arrange access the way you prefer, and nothing is discussed on site. Findings are confidential to the paying client. Many clients simply tell their contractor an engineer friend is visiting.

We inspect against normal good construction practice and document exactly what exists, with measurements and photos. It is less precise than checking against drawings, and the report says so honestly.

No, and the engagement letter says so in writing. We never solicit the takeover of an inspected project. If you independently ask us to repair or complete work, that is a separate engagement you initiate.

Written quote within 24 hours. Visit within five working days of payment for most locations. Report within 48 hours of the visit. If your contractor is pressing you for money today, tell us and we prioritise.

One visit can save you millions.

Tell us where the site is and what the contractor is claiming. A written quote reaches you within 24 hours.
