BuildOVE, a construction technology application (app) company, said it has tackled many construction crisis in the country, with its app exceeding over 4,000 installations since its launch in January 2025.

The company disclosed this in a statement noting that the 4,000 installation milestone reflects a broader shift and that property owners, contractors, and site managers are saying no to the old way – the uncertainty, the wasted time, the financial risks, the chaos.

Commenting on the development, BuildOVE’s Country Manager, Oluwasegun Iroko, said: “ The traditional way of hiring and managing construction projects just does not work anymore.

“Crossing 4,000 users represents thousands of property owners, contractors, and site managers who decided they deserve better than chaos, inefficiency, and endless delays.

“Nigeria’s construction industry contributes billions to GDP and employs millions directly and indirectly.
“When construction moves, the economy moves.

“When projects stall, everyone feels it. “But the industry is drowning in inefficiency, like slow processes, poor coordination, and the inability to find and verify good professionals.

“Every stalled project is money not circulating, jobs not created, and economic potential wasted.”
According to the company, the app BuildOVE tackles the hiring problem head-on.

“Every professional on the platform, including contractors, engineers, architects, skilled artisans, goes through rigorous verification: credentials checks, certification verification, real customer reviews, and track record assessments.

“No more hiring based on “a guy who knows a guy.”

“No more discovering halfway through that your “experienced” mason has never built a proper foundation.

“The platform gives you access to vetted professionals across every construction specialty.
“Need a structural engineer? A reliable plumbing contractor? Skilled block layers? They are on BuildOVE, verified, with real reviews from real projects.

“Project management tools keep your entire team coordinated from your phone, tablet, or computer.”
On the apps effect on the economy, Iroko said: “We are not just building an app; we are building infrastructure for economic growth.

“Every time someone completes a project on budget and on time because they hired the right people, that is money saved, jobs protected, and confidence restored in an industry that employs millions.
“We are not stopping at 4,000 or even 5,000.

“Our goal is to make BuildOVE the standard for how construction happens in Nigeria.

“That means expanding to every major city, onboarding more verified professionals, and continuously improving based on what our users tell us they need.”
