Escrow & Independent Verification · Nigerian Real Estate

Your money moves only when the building does. Building Trust Every Milestone. Creating Opportunities.

BuildTrack holds development funds in milestone-based escrow and releases them only after COREN/NIQS-registered Independent Project Monitors verify progress on the ground — with every approval sealed on a tamper-proof audit trail. Trust, made structural.

The BuildTrack Ledger

Five milestones. Five verified releases. Zero blind trust.

Every project on BuildTrack follows the same disciplined sequence. Funds sit in escrow with our partner bank, and each tranche is unlocked only after an independent monitor certifies the milestone — never on the developer's word alone.

Why BuildTrack exists

Nigerian real estate doesn't have a demand problem. It has a trust problem.

Off-plan buyers pay upfront and pray. Diaspora investors send money home and hope. Serious developers lose deals to the sins of bad actors. The capital is willing — the infrastructure to protect it hasn't existed. Until now.

0M+ Housing units short — Nigeria's widely cited national housing deficit that willing capital could help close.
0 Abandoned building projects scattered across the country — capital lost to weak accountability.
$0B+ In annual diaspora remittances — much of it avoiding real estate for fear of fraud and mismanagement.
How it works

From first payment to handover — protected at every step.

One simple loop, repeated across five milestones, keeps everyone honest and every project moving.

STEP 01

Funds enter escrow

Buyers and investors pay into a regulated escrow account — not the developer's pocket. Funds are safe from day one.

STEP 02

Developer builds

The developer executes the current milestone against agreed drawings, specifications and timelines.

STEP 03

Independent monitor verifies

A COREN/NIQS-registered Independent Project Monitor inspects the site and certifies — or rejects — the milestone.

STEP 04

Tranche released & recorded

Escrow releases the milestone tranche, and the verification is permanently sealed on the blockchain audit trail.

About us

We are building the trust infrastructure Nigerian real estate has always needed.

BuildTrack exists because willing capital and credible developers keep failing to find each other — not for lack of demand, but for lack of verifiable accountability between them.

What we do. BuildTrack Infrastructure Systems Limited operates a milestone-based escrow and independent project verification platform for real estate development. Funds committed to a project never sit in a developer's account waiting on goodwill — they are held in escrow with a licensed partner institution and released in five tranches, each unlocked only after a COREN/NIQS-registered Independent Project Monitor certifies the corresponding stage of construction on site.

How we keep it honest. Every verification event — inspection, certification, release — is sealed on a tamper-evident blockchain audit trail built on Hyperledger Fabric. No stakeholder has to take anyone's word for anything: the record is immutable, timestamped, and visible to everyone on the project.

Who we serve. Developers who want their credibility to be provable rather than promised. Home buyers and off-plan investors who want protection before performance. Diaspora investors who want to build at home without flying home to supervise. And the independent engineering and quantity surveying professionals who make verification possible.

Why it matters. Nigeria's housing deficit is measured in tens of millions of units while billions of dollars in willing capital sit on the sidelines — held back not by appetite, but by the absence of trust infrastructure. We are building that missing layer. Building trust, every milestone.

What people are saying

Trust, in their own words.

Developers, investors, monitors and buyers on why milestone-verified escrow changes everything.

The five-milestone escrow model is exactly what serious developers have needed. My credibility stops being a promise and becomes something a buyer can verify. That changes every sales conversation I have.
Arc. Chinedu Okonkwo
DEVELOPER · ABUJA
I've wanted to build at home for years but couldn't supervise from London. Knowing an independent engineer certifies every stage before my money moves — that's the assurance the diaspora has been waiting for.
Mrs. Funmilayo Adeyemi
DIASPORA INVESTOR · LONDON
As a COREN engineer, I've seen what happens when nobody checks the work. BuildTrack puts verification at the centre of the transaction, and the blockchain record means my certification cannot be quietly altered.
Engr. Musa Abdullahi
INDEPENDENT PROJECT MONITOR · KADUNA
I lost money on an off-plan project before, so I understand the fear. Paying into escrow instead of a developer's account — and seeing each milestone verified — is the only way I'd buy off-plan again.
Tobi Adewale
OFF-PLAN HOME BUYER · LAGOS
What convinced me is that nobody has to trust anybody's word. The money is protected, the inspection is independent, and the records can't be changed. That is how property investment should work.
Hajiya Amina Suleiman
PROPERTY INVESTOR · KANO
From a legal standpoint, the tripartite escrow structure with independent certification dramatically reduces dispute risk. I now recommend milestone-verified structures to every client developing off-plan.
