Why clients choose us

Building from abroad should not cost you sleep.

Most diaspora building stories end the same way: money sent home, photos that never come, and a site that has barely moved. We built Artemis Atelier to make that impossible.

01

You see everything.

Live camera access to your site, plus drone footage of progress. You watch your building rise from London, Houston or Toronto, not through a relative's phone.

02

You control the money.

Your funds are released in stages: foundation, frame, roof and finishing. Our inspection team of engineers and an architect checks each stage before the next payment, and you can add an independent inspector of your own.

03

You know every cost.

Our bill of quantities is open-book. Every bag of cement and every tonne of steel is itemised, with no hidden mark-ups.

04

You are covered after handover.

A 6 to 12 month defect liability period, and a complete handover pack: architectural drawings, electrical and plumbing layouts, and structural certificates.

What we do

One team from drawing to keys.

Architecture & design

Plans, 3D visuals and approvals-ready drawings.

Construction

New homes, duplexes, estates, churches and commercial buildings.

Renovation & interiors

Remodelling, fit-outs, kitchens, wardrobes and wall finishes.

We manage your project, your budget and your contractors, and we report to you every week.

How your money is protected

Five layers between your money and the site

Each layer catches what the one before might miss. Together they mean you never pay for work you haven’t seen.

Your money
  1. Stage payments

    You pay for one stage at a time, never ahead of the work.

  2. Inspection

    Every stage is checked before you pay: by our team, an independent firm, or your own inspector.

  3. Open-book BOQ

    Every bag of cement and tonne of rebar itemised, so you can compare with market prices.

  4. Insurance

    Contractor’s all-risk cover with a NAICOM-licensed insurer you choose, in your name.

  5. Written contract

    Scope, payments, changes and disputes agreed in writing before work starts.

Your site
Insurance cover depends on the policy issued. Your signed contract sets the payment schedule and inspection plan.

Inspection before every payment

Who checks your build? You choose.

Every stage is inspected before you pay for the next one. Use our team, add an independent firm, bring your own inspector, or combine them.

Option A · Included in every build

Our inspection team

Checks each stage against the drawings and sends you the report before the next payment is due.

  • Engr. J.O. Owolabi · Chief inspector
  • Arch. E.A. Nwabueze · Adjunct inspector
  • Engr. Bello Hasani · Inspector

Option B · Independent of Artemis

An independent firm from our panel

Choose one of three to four outside COREN-registered firms to check the stages you want, for a second opinion that doesn’t work for us.

  • Panel firm · being appointed · Structural and concrete works
  • Panel firm · being appointed · Building services (electrical and plumbing)
  • Panel firm · being appointed · General building and finishes
  • Panel firm · being appointed · Quantity surveying and valuations

Firms are named here as each agreement is signed.

Option C · Your choice

Bring your own inspector

Any qualified engineer or surveyor you choose. We give them site access at each stage gate and share the drawings and bill of quantities; their fee is paid by you.

  • Your engineer, surveyor or architect
  • Site access at every stage gate
  • Drawings and BOQ shared with them

Whoever inspects, the rule is the same: no report, no payment. See the stage gates

Independent and client-appointed inspection fees are agreed separately. Inspection plans are written into your contract.
