Pre-Construction Intelligence

Know the Land Before You Break Ground.

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.

The Problem

Buildings Collapse Because Nobody
Checked the Land First.

The risk was knowable. The data existed. Nobody used it before works started.

Building collapses in Lagos · 1984–2023

01 / NIGERIA

Swampy land. Wrong foundations. No assessment.

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.

Housing unit deficit · FMBN 2023

02 / SCALE

900,000 units needed every year. Built on what ground?

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.

Nigeria construction market · 2024

03 / OPPORTUNITY

The market is growing. The safety infrastructure is not.

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

Four Inputs. One Complete Pre-Construction Brief.

Konstrata does not replace your engineers. It makes them faster — with every critical risk surfaced before works start.

01

Site Suitability Report

Soil conditions, flood risk, seismic exposure, slope stability — all assessed from verified data before any expert sets foot on site.

→ High flood risk. Swampy substrate. Pile foundation required. See full report.

02

Foundation Specification

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

Inflation-Adjusted Budget

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

Phased Programme of Works

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

Four Inputs. One Complete Brief.

No consultants. No site visits. No budget committed. Just the intelligence you need before any of that starts.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

01

SITE SUITABILITY REPORT

Soil conditions, flood risk, seismic exposure, slope stability — assessed from verified data before any expert sets foot on site.

Confidence score included
02

FOUNDATION SPECIFICATION

Shallow slab, deep pile, or raft — with the reasoning behind it. Ready for your structural engineer to validate.

Who It's For

Built for Every Discipline
That Touches a Project

Every brief puts the right data in front of the right professional before works start.

Surveying

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.

Cost

$

Quantity Surveyors

Start every project budget from Konstrata's inflation-adjusted local cost data. Your first estimate is grounded in reality, not guesswork.

Engineering

Civil Engineers

Receive a foundation specification based on actual site geology before the design process starts. No more retrofitting structural decisions.

Engineering

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.

Engineering

MEP Engineers

Surface ground condition constraints and utility conflicts before service coordination begins. Fewer clashes, earlier.

Geotechnical

Geotechnical Engineers

Konstrata pulls the geotechnical signals for your site location before any investigation is ordered. Use it to frame your scope of works.

Environment

Environmental Engineers

Site suitability reports include environmental risk flags — flood zones, contamination history, and protected land classifications — before any survey is commissioned.

Design

Architects

Understand the site constraints before the design brief is written. Konstrata surfaces zoning rules, setback requirements, and planning conditions specific to your location.

Digital / BIM

BIM Managers

The pre-construction brief becomes the project's ground truth. Every discipline starts from the same verified data, from day one.

Management

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.

Site

Construction Managers

Surface programme risks before groundworks begin. Seasonal flooding windows, soil instability, and access constraints flagged in the timeline before they become delays.

Cost

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.

Programme

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.

Client-Side

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.

Planning

Town & Urban Planners

Zoning classifications, land use restrictions, and planning permission requirements surfaced before any application is drafted. Site context before statutory process.

Safety

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

Landscape Architects

Terrain profile, drainage patterns, and environmental constraints mapped before any design work starts. The land tells you what it can hold.

Operations

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.

Procurement

Contract & Procurement Managers

Verified cost data and site conditions before any tender is issued. Scope your contracts from a position of knowledge, not assumption.
