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.
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.
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.
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.
Approve every document
Nothing starts without your sign-off. You approve each structural and design document in the app before work commences, on record.
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.
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.
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.
Location
Locked to the spot at the moment of shooting and checked against your registered site. Not the next street. Yours.
Time
Taken now, on a trusted clock. A recycled photo from last month fails before anyone even looks at it.
Reuse
Compared against your project's history and every project on the platform. Borrowed images surface with the match shown side by side.
Progress
Does the visible work match the stage you are paying for: foundation, DPC, blockwork, lintel, roofing.
Plan match
Rooms, openings, floors, and roof form checked against your approved drawings. What was promised is what must appear.
Weather
The light and weather in the photo versus the actual weather at that spot and hour. Sunshine on a rainy day gets caught.
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.
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.
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.
