For Nigerians & Africans abroad

You send the money.
We verify it actually builds the house.

Funding a building project, land, or a family business back home? Avana turns your building plans into the project's yardstick, verifies every site photo, checks every receipt against real market prices, and even phones vendors for live quotes. Evidence, not assurances.

sent home to Nigeria every year

Nigerians abroad remit over 20 billion dollars annually, much of it into land, buildings, and family projects.

0%

of real estate investment is diaspora money

You are the biggest investor in Nigeria, usually with the least visibility into where the money goes.

independent tools watching your side

Transfer apps stop caring the second the money lands. Everyone on the ground has an interest. Nobody verifies for you.

Your plans become the law of the project

Upload the drawings once. Everything answers to them.

Structural plan, architectural design, every floor plan. Avana reads them, builds your project, and holds every photo from site against what the drawings promise.

1

Upload the plans

You or your developer uploads the drawings. If the developer uploads, the app asks who the project is for and ties everything to your account.

2

Approve every document

Nothing starts without your sign-off. You approve each structural and design document in the app before work commences, on record.

3

The app builds your project

Milestones floor by floor, expected stages, and a budget priced from the plan's real dimensions and current market prices. You confirm it before it becomes the standard.

4

Every photo answers to the plans

Room layouts, openings, floors, roof form: what the drawings promise is what the site must show. Structural sign-off stays with certified engineers, as it should.

Milestone 1 stays locked until every required document carries your approval.

Six checks on every single photo

Photos that cannot lie to you

All evidence is captured live through the Avana camera. No gallery uploads, no borrowed images, no last month's photo wearing today's date.

CHECK 01

Location

Locked to the spot at the moment of shooting and checked against your registered site. Not the next street. Yours.

CHECK 02

Time

Taken now, on a trusted clock. A recycled photo from last month fails before anyone even looks at it.

CHECK 03

Reuse

Compared against your project's history and every project on the platform. Borrowed images surface with the match shown side by side.

CHECK 04

Progress

Does the visible work match the stage you are paying for: foundation, DPC, blockwork, lintel, roofing.

CHECK 05

Plan match

Rooms, openings, floors, and roof form checked against your approved drawings. What was promised is what must appear.

CHECK 06

Weather

The light and weather in the photo versus the actual weather at that spot and hour. Sunshine on a rainy day gets caught.

Vendor intelligence

The app finds vendors nearby and calls them for prices

Knowing a receipt is inflated is useful. Knowing a better vendor two streets away, with their live price, is decisive.

Nearby vendors, instantly

Material vendors around your site, in the same LGA or closest proximity, found from live map data. Supply exists the day your project starts, no onboarding wait.

AI price calls

The assistant phones vendors, introduces itself openly as an automated caller, and asks the current price on your exact items. You see the flagged receipt next to three live quotes from down the road.

A marketplace that earns itself

Vendors with competitive quotes and deliveries confirmed by verified photos are promoted automatically. Ratings come from fulfilled orders, never from talk.

Phone quotes are haggling-sensitive: every price is labeled phone-quoted or transaction-verified, and the two never blend.

Everything else working for you

Built for how projects really run back home

The money ledger

Every transfer logged against milestones. See exactly how much is unaccounted for, and where the budget will stand at the next stage.

The advisory gate

Milestone verified: fund the next stage. Open flags: the app advises holding payment. It plays the bad cop so your family relationship does not have to.

The Build Story

Verified photos assemble into a timeline of your house growing. The moment worth sharing, backed by proof.

The Evidence Pack

One tap exports the whole project: photos, receipts, messages, results, timestamped. If things ever go legal, you walk in with the case in hand.

Lawyers and engineers on call

Vetted lawyers run title and dispute checks on the land. Certified engineers sign off structural milestones. Ordered in-app at transparent prices.

Family co-viewers

Read-only access for a parent or sibling, so the project stops being one person's word. Works offline on site and syncs when the network returns.

For the builders

Honest developers win on Avana

Most builders are honest and suffer from the reputation the fraudsters created. Every verified milestone builds a public track record diaspora clients browse when choosing who to trust with their build.

A public profile that wins contracts. Completed projects, on-time and on-budget history, verified by the platform, browsable by your next client.
Fair context for delays. It rained thirteen days that month, and the record says so. Real delays stop looking like excuses.
Bring your client with you. Upload the plans, tell us who the project is for, and Avana invites them. Proof of your honesty becomes your marketing.
Founding members

Be first in line.

We are building Avana with a small group of founding members funding real projects back home right now. Tell us what you are funding. Early members get free access during the build and shape what we ship.

Honest note: Avana is in validation. We will not ask for money. We are asking whether this deserves to exist, and your answers directly decide that.
