Pre-Construction Intelligence
In Lagos, 108 buildings have collapsed since 1984. The land data existed every time. Nobody checked it before works started. Konstrata generates the pre-construction brief that prevents it — site suitability, foundation specification, inflation-adjusted budget, and programme of works — before a single expert is commissioned.
Data sources powering every brief
The Problem
The risk was knowable. The data existed. Nobody used it before works started.
108
Building collapses in Lagos · 1984–2023
01 / NIGERIA
460 people died. 36% of collapses traced directly to poor construction on unsuitable ground. The Nigerian Geological Survey had the soil data. It was never consulted before works started.
28M
Housing unit deficit · FMBN 2023
02 / SCALE
Nigeria needs $46.7 billion to close the housing gap. Developers are moving fast. Site assessments are skipped. Pre-construction intelligence is not part of the workflow. It needs to be.
$34B
Nigeria construction market · 2024
03 / OPPORTUNITY
Nigeria's construction market reaches $50B by 2034. Every project starts without a verified site brief. Every wrong foundation is a preventable failure — with data that already exists.
The Solution
Konstrata does not replace your engineers. It makes them faster — with every critical risk surfaced before works start.
01
Soil conditions, flood risk, seismic exposure, slope stability — all assessed from verified data before any expert sets foot on site.
02
Konstrata reads the land data and recommends the correct foundation type for your structure. Shallow slab, deep pile, raft — with the reasoning behind it, ready for your structural engineer to validate.
03
Local material price indices, labour rates, and inflation forecasts built into a project budget from day one. Know your real cost before you commit — not after the contract is signed.
04
A structured timeline from ground clearance to handover, with manpower requirements per phase, flagged dependencies, and seasonal risk windows baked in automatically.
How It Works
No consultants. No site visits. No budget committed. Just the intelligence you need before any of that starts.
Enter your project parameters
Location, structure type, country, and intended start date. Four fields. Konstrata pulls the right data for your specific site and jurisdiction.
Konstrata generates your brief
Site suitability, foundation spec, inflation-adjusted budget, manpower requirements, and a phased programme of works. From verified local data. In minutes.
Share with your design team
Your structural engineer, architect, and QS all start from the same verified brief. Less back-and-forth. Fewer surprises. Every expert informed before works begin.

Every brief puts the right data in front of the right professional before works start.
Land Surveyors
Run a site brief before any survey is commissioned. Know the ground conditions, flood exposure, and foundation requirements before boots hit the site.
Quantity Surveyors
Start every project budget from Konstrata's inflation-adjusted local cost data. Your first estimate is grounded in reality, not guesswork.
Civil Engineers
Receive a foundation specification based on actual site geology before the design process starts. No more retrofitting structural decisions.
Structural Engineers
Know the ground before you design for it. Soil bearing capacity, seismic classification, and slope risk — all in the brief before concept stage.
MEP Engineers
Surface ground condition constraints and utility conflicts before service coordination begins. Fewer clashes, earlier.
Geotechnical Engineers
Konstrata pulls the geotechnical signals for your site location before any investigation is ordered. Use it to frame your scope of works.
Environmental Engineers
Site suitability reports include environmental risk flags — flood zones, contamination history, and protected land classifications — before any survey is commissioned.
Architects
Understand the site constraints before the design brief is written. Konstrata surfaces zoning rules, setback requirements, and planning conditions specific to your location.
BIM Managers
The pre-construction brief becomes the project's ground truth. Every discipline starts from the same verified data, from day one.
Project Managers
Commission the brief before any consultant is engaged. Walk into every scoping meeting with verified site data and a phased programme already drafted.
Construction Managers
Surface programme risks before groundworks begin. Seasonal flooding windows, soil instability, and access constraints flagged in the timeline before they become delays.
Estimators
Every cost plan starts from Konstrata's local price index. Your first number is calibrated to the market, not copied from a previous project in a different country.
Planning Engineers
The phased programme of works comes with flagged dependencies and risk windows. Your plan accounts for the site before a single task is scheduled.
Developers & Clients
Receive a full project brief in minutes before committing any budget. Understand what you are building, on what ground, at what cost — before you appoint anyone.
Town & Urban Planners
Zoning classifications, land use restrictions, and planning permission requirements surfaced before any application is drafted. Site context before statutory process.
Health & Safety Managers
Site-specific risk factors — flood exposure, slope instability, contamination history — flagged before the pre-construction phase begins. Informed CDM decisions from day one.
Landscape Architects
Terrain profile, drainage patterns, and environmental constraints mapped before any design work starts. The land tells you what it can hold.
Facilities Managers
Long-term site suitability, ground conditions, and environmental exposure assessed upfront. Maintain what was built right — starting with the land it sits on.
Contract & Procurement Managers
Verified cost data and site conditions before any tender is issued. Scope your contracts from a position of knowledge, not assumption.
