How to Choose a General Contractor in Nigeria

A strong GC reduces delays, rework, and payment disputes. Use local verification signals, written scope, and stage-based delivery — especially when you are abroad.

What to verify before you hire

•
Registered business or verifiable company history
•
Recent projects you can reference (photos, locations, timelines)
•
Clear written scope, timeline, and payment schedule
•
Visit or third-party verification when possible
