Hiring, quotations & budgeting
Price Checker
Search a material, answer a few questions, and get a source-backed price range with a confidence score.
The problem it solves
Confirming a fair price in Nigeria is genuinely hard
You are quoted a price and have no honest way to know if it is fair. Contractors pad quotations. Sellers size you up before naming a figure — and quote higher the moment they sense you are not a regular buyer or you are calling from abroad. Prices move week to week, so last month's figure is already stale.
Calling around the market takes days, the answers contradict each other, and one wrong assumption on cement, steel or roofing can quietly add hundreds of thousands of naira to a project. That is the problem this tool exists to end.
Why you can trust it
Real prices. Never invented.
✓
Every price in your report is traceable to a real, current listing — with the source and the exact date it was checked.
✓
The checker never guesses or makes up a price. If the evidence is not strong enough, it tells you so plainly instead of showing you a comfortable-looking number.
✓
Duplicate sellers, outdated listings and wrong-specification products are detected and excluded, so one trader posting ten adverts cannot distort your range.
✓
Every report carries a confidence score out of 100, with plain-language reasons — how many independent sellers were found, how recent the prices are, and how closely they matched your exact specification and location.
Our promise
If the checker can't confirm it, a real person will
Some materials are simply not listed openly online — prices live in the market, in conversations. When that happens, your check is never wasted: you qualify for a verified local market check, where a real BuildMyHouse agent physically visits the market and confirms current prices for your exact product and location.
It is one tap on WhatsApp from your report. You bring the question; we make sure you leave with a real answer — from the tool or from a person on the ground.
Built for homeowners, contractors, landlords and Nigerians abroad who need defensible material prices before money changes hands.
