Freelance marketplace for AEC professionals · Nigeria

Freelance work for Nigeria's architects, engineers & builders.

Turn your skills into income, one gig at a time — a cost estimate, a design package, a week of site supervision. Clients get the best price and the best hands for every stage of their build, and every naira moves through milestone escrow.

Milestone escrow

Clients fund work before it starts. Jobs over ₦200,000 are split into at least two milestones.

Verified professionals

Emails are verified at sign-up; COREN, ARCON and CORBON numbers are reviewed before the badge appears.

Ask questions before you bid and coordinate the job in one place — every conversation is on record.

Timestamped site log

A live photo diary stamped with server time — plus a one-click site report.

Attested portfolios

External projects need two signatories before they count toward a professional's standing.
