Most diaspora building disasters start the same way: a friend of a friend "knows a guy". No contract, no proof, no supervision and when the money leaves, so does the accountability. Vaellon replaces that guesswork with a vetted network of tradespeople, each checked before they ever touch your site.
Every artisan is verified, matched to your scope and paid per inspected milestone. You get progress reports, photos and a named supervisor, whether you are in Lagos or London.
Foundation, blockwork, columns, beams and screeding. The structural backbone of your build, executed to spec and inspected at every stage.
Certified electricians for first-fix conduits, wiring, distribution boards and second-fix fittings, tested and certified before handover.
Water supply, drainage, sanitary ware and pressure-tested pipework installed by verified plumbers who stand behind their work.
Precision tiling for floors, walls, bathrooms and exteriors, plus screeding and finishing, level, aligned and defect-free.
Surface preparation, filling, priming and premium finishes inside and out, clean lines and a finish that survives Nigerian weather.
Doors, wardrobes, kitchen units, ceilings and bespoke joinery, measured, fitted and finished by vetted craftspeople.
Tell us the project, location, budget and trades needed. We reply in 10 minutes and confirm next steps the same day.
We shortlist artisans who already passed ID, credential and portfolio checks, then match the right team to your scope.
You approve a written scope and a milestone plan, so everyone knows exactly what is being built and what each payment covers.
Work proceeds milestone by milestone. We inspect each stage, send you photo reports, and release payment only after approval.
We close out a snag list, hand over the finished work and stand behind it with a workmanship guarantee and retention.
Trust is not a promise, it is a process. Every artisan in the Vaellon network clears the same six checks and is removed the moment they fall short.
Government-issued ID and proof of address, checked and recorded for every artisan before they are matched to a project.
Certifications and trade memberships verified where they exist, plus a practical skills assessment for each trade.
A named guarantor who vouches for the artisan, adding a layer of accountability that a stranger alone cannot provide.
Reviewed evidence of previous work, with site inspections where possible, so you see proof rather than promises.
Funds are released only against inspected milestones, protecting you from paying for work that has not been done.
A signed snag list and retention on every milestone, so defects are corrected before final payment is released.
Every artisan passes identity checks (government ID and proof of address), trade credential and certification checks, a guarantor reference, and a portfolio review of past work. We also inspect their active sites where possible and keep a written record before they are ever matched to your project.
Fees are quoted per project based on the scope of work, your location and the trades required. You pay per completed milestone, never everything upfront, and no money is released to an artisan until the milestone has been inspected and approved.
You fund each milestone, and Vaellon holds and releases it only after the work is verified against an agreed scope. This protects you from paying for work that has not been done and gives the artisan guaranteed, timely payment on approved milestones.
We cover masons and blockwork, electrical, plumbing, tiling and flooring, painting and decoration, carpentry and joinery, POP and suspended ceilings, roofing, welding and metalwork, and full multi-trade fit-outs. For projects that need several trades we coordinate the whole sequence.
Every engagement includes a workmanship guarantee and a signed snag list. We hold a retention on each milestone until defects are corrected, and any failing work is fixed at the artisan's cost before final release. Persistent failures mean the artisan leaves our network.
Yes. We source and supervise verified artisans nationwide, with the strongest coverage in Lagos, Abuja and their surrounding states. For projects in other states we confirm local availability during your free consultation.
