Build a home · trusted by Nigerians worldwide

Build your home in Nigeria, from anywhere.

Land, permits, design and construction handled end to end — while you watch every phase, with your money held by an escrow provider you chose.

Start where you need us

You join at the rung you need.

From rung 1

I have nothing yet

Start at land procurement. We handle the whole ladder.

From rung 2

I already own the land

We start by perfecting the title.

From rung 4

I have land and drawings

We take it from project management into construction.

Anywhere

My build has stalled

We assess what exists and price the completion.

Every phase, visible

Four stages. Each paid only when you accept it.

  1. 1

    Stage 1 of 4 · Foundation

    It starts with a plot.

    Setting out, excavation, foundation and oversite concrete — photographed and dated on site, against the phase you are paying for.

  2. 2

    Stage 2 of 4 · Structure

    Walls, roof, shape.

    Superstructure, roofing and external walls. This is the phase where a client abroad first recognises their own house in a photograph.

  3. 3

    Stage 3 of 4 · Finishing

    Every fitting, on record.

    Mechanical and electrical, plastering, joinery and finishes — with an inspection report you can read before you accept the phase.

  4. 4

    Stage 4 of 4 · Handover

    Snags closed, then keys.

    Final inspection, documents and keys. The last release happens because you accepted the work, never because a deadline passed.

You are abroad, and the site is 4,000 miles away. Photographs, drawings and site records at every phase are the site visit you cannot make — and you can send any site photo to Terra to ask what you are looking at.

The eight services

Land to keys.

Each is priced and contracted on its own, and each is a phase you accept before any money moves.

01

Land procurement

Finding and securing a plot, with the title verified before any money moves.

02

Title perfection

Taking a plot from what the seller says it is to documentation that survives scrutiny.

03

Architectural design

Drawings, structural design and the approvals a build cannot start without.

04

Project management

Running the build on your behalf — programme, contractors, cost control and reporting.

05

Construction

Building it, in gated stages with evidence at each one before the next is funded.

06

Renovation and remodelling

Reworking an existing property, from a single floor to a whole structure.

07

Green retrofit

Solar, borehole, water treatment and insulation on a building that already stands.

08

Facility management

Looking after the building after handover, so it is worth what it cost.

Service names are proposed and not yet confirmed. What we do is settled; what we call it may still change.

Land to build on

Surveyed, serviced plots with title in place.

What it costs

Build cost depends on location, size and finish level, so a figure quoted before any of that is known is a guess dressed as a quote. Tell us the type, size and finish and we come back with a range and what drives it.
