Budget01
Money leaves faster than the building rises
Cash goes out for cement, iron rods and labour every week, but nobody can say how much of the budget is gone — until it runs out at lintel level.

The problem
Why building projects in Nigeria go over budget
It is rarely one big mistake. It is small leaks nobody measures — every week, on every site.
Materials02
Materials disappear between delivery and use
Two hundred bags delivered, blockwork that needed one hundred and forty. Without a ledger, the gap is invisible.
Visibility03
You only know what WhatsApp tells you
Progress lives in scattered photos and voice notes. If you are abroad or on another site, you are trusting, not verifying.
Features
Everything a building project needs — nothing it doesn't
Construction site management for residential and light commercial builds: bungalows, duplexes, blocks of flats, shops and offices.
Budget vs actual, in Naira
Import the section totals from your saved Estimate or BoQ as the project budget. Every payment is recorded against a line — substructure, roofing, finishes — and the dashboard warns you the moment a line goes over.
Stages & tasks with live progress
Every project starts with a ready-made plan for a Nigerian build — site preparation, substructure, superstructure, roofing, services, finishes, external works. Tick tasks off and overall progress updates itself.
Daily site diary with photos
A one-line note and a photo from site each day, or a recorded reason when no work happened — rain, public holiday, awaiting materials. A quiet day never looks the same as a day nobody checked.
Worker attendance you can verify
Site managers check workers in with a photo and GPS location, timestamped on the spot. Headcount is recorded, not remembered — the simplest defence against paying for ghost workers.
Material delivery & usage ledger
Log cement, sand, granite, blocks and rods as they arrive and as they are used. Running balances show what should still be on site — and flag when the numbers don't add up.
Team roles & client portal
Invite a site manager to log activity and a client to follow progress. Clients get a clean progress page and a 6pm email on days with activity; you decide whether they see the budget.
How it works
From cost estimate to handover, in one place
Most project management apps start with an empty spreadsheet. Yours starts with the estimate you already made.
- 01
Estimate
Price the building with the free Estimator or a detailed BoQ — at current Nigerian material prices.
- 02
Budget
One click turns that estimate into the project budget, line by line.
- 03
Build
Log spending, workers, materials and daily progress from any phone. Tick off tasks as stages finish.
- 04
Handover
A complete record of what was spent, what was done and when — ready for the final account.
One system, both sides of the build
Run every site from one dashboard
Construction management software for Nigerian contractors who juggle several jobs at once.
- ✓Price the job with a BoQ, then track your real costs against it — know your margin before the final account.
- ✓Site managers log workers, materials and spending; you see every site's progress at a glance.
- ✓Give clients a professional progress page and daily email — your costs stay private unless you share them.
Monitor your building project from anywhere
For people building a home in Nigeria from London, Houston, Toronto — or from the other side of Lagos.
- ✓Know exactly how much of your budget is spent, and on what — with receipts.
- ✓See progress by stage and daily site photos, not just what arrives on WhatsApp.
- ✓Material balances show when deliveries and usage stop adding up — early enough to ask questions.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Q.What is construction management software?
+
Construction management software keeps a building project's budget, schedule, site activity and communication in one place. Track My Build is construction project management software designed for Nigerian residential and light commercial projects: budget vs actual in Naira, stages and tasks, a daily site diary, worker attendance, a material ledger and a client progress portal.
Q.Is there construction project management software made for Nigeria?
+
Yes. Track My Build is built around how buildings are actually delivered in Nigeria — naira budgets, cash payments to artisans and suppliers, materials like cement, sharp sand, granite and iron rods, site managers who work from a phone, and owners who are often abroad. It is part of nigeriabuildingcost.ng, so your budget can come straight from our Nigerian cost estimator or BoQ.
Q.Can I monitor my building project in Nigeria from abroad?
+
Yes — that is one of the main reasons people use it. Invite your contractor or site manager to log daily progress, photos, workers and spending, and you follow everything from your dashboard or the evening email, wherever you live. You see the budget, the progress by stage and the photos, not just what someone chooses to send on WhatsApp.
Q.Does my site manager need to install an app?
+
No. Everything runs in the phone's web browser. An invited site manager signs in with a free account; a foreman who won't create an account can use a no-login site link to check workers in, log materials and post daily updates.
Q.Can I use my BoQ or cost estimate as the project budget?
+
Yes. When you create a project, pick any Estimate, BoQ or Smart-Import BoQ you have saved and its section totals become the budget lines. Markup, contingency and VAT are kept as their own line so the total always matches your document. You can also add budget lines by hand.
Q.I am a contractor. Will my client see my costs?
+
Only if you choose. Clients see progress, photos and daily updates by default; the budget and spending are hidden unless you switch on "Show budget to clients" for that project.
Q.How much does it cost?
+
Every project starts with a 14-day free trial with full access. After that it is ₦5,000 per project for 30 days, paid once — no subscription and no auto-renewal. All Access at ₦8,000 for 30 days also unlocks the BoQ, Invoice and Quotation tools.
Q.Can I manage more than one construction site?
+
Yes. Each project has its own plan, budget, team and trial, and you manage them all from My Projects. People you invite see only the projects they were added to.
