Can't trust listing photos, a seller's video call or a contractor's word from abroad? We visit the property for you and send back honest, evidence-based reports — so what you're paying for is what's really there.
From abroad, almost everything you see about a Ghanaian property is controlled by the person trying to sell or let it to you. People fly in expecting one thing and find another — a different location, a smaller space, unfinished work, or defects the camera never showed.
An independent representative changes that. We go in person, capture what's really there, and answer to you — giving you the evidence to negotiate, walk away, or proceed with confidence.
Each service stands alone, or combine them. All share the same promise: an independent visit and an honest, evidence-backed report before money changes hands.
A representative visits on your behalf: unedited video, professional photos, a live walkthrough, GPS-confirmed location — plus a "Listing vs Reality" report.
How it works →A non-structural visual inspection revealing what's wrong — cracks, damp, leaks, broken fittings — each photographed, located and rated by urgency.
How it works →Independent milestone verification for anyone building remotely: scheduled site visits, date-stamped media, progress against drawings and the bill of quantities.
How it works →"Roofing's done — send the money." Really? We visit, confirm work done vs invoiced, and give a clear release-payment-or-not recommendation.
How it works →Real room dimensions and an annotated floor plan — with gross and usable area clearly distinguished, checked against what was advertised.
How it works →Before you travel or pay, we confirm the property, the agent's authority, the real fees, and give you a true total move-in cost — not just the rent.
How it works →You can't be there — so we are. A representative visits and captures the property honestly, then answers your questions live during the visit.

Most property photography exists to make a building look good. This does the opposite — it shows you honestly what's wrong, before you commit.
Each finding is photographed, located by room, given a recommended next step, and rated by urgency:
Where something needs a qualified engineer or trade specialist, we say so and refer you on — this is a visual condition check, not a formal structural survey.
Building from abroad means trusting that milestones you can't see were really reached. BuildProof gives you independent, date-stamped evidence — appointed and paid by you, the owner, never the contractor.
A 2026 Ghana-focused study found informal contractor quotations often omit structural, finishing, plumbing and electrical items — creating a large gap between the first quote and the real cost to finish.
Independent monitoring catches that drift early, while you can still act on it — instead of discovering it when the money's gone.
A modest inspection fee can stop a much larger wrong payment. Send us the invoice and the claim; we verify it on-site before you release a cedi.
You send: the contractor's invoice, the stated milestone, drawings or quotation, and any earlier progress info.
Payment-release recommendations are made by the relevant qualified professional.
"Large" and "spacious" aren't measurements. We give you real numbers and an annotated floor plan — with gross and usable area clearly separated, so you know what you're actually getting.
Ideal for office, retail and warehouse leasing, renovation and interior planning, insurance records, and developer handovers.
Developers often market gross area. The usable space you can actually furnish and live in is what we measure and report — sample figures shown; your report carries the real numbers.
Recycled listings, phantom agents, viewing fees, mystery charges. Before you travel or pay anything, we confirm the deal is real and tell you what it truly costs.
Not just the monthly rent — the full amount you'll actually need on day one.
The single most important thing about verification is who it answers to. A progress update from your contractor, or a viewing arranged by the agent earning the commission, isn't independent — it's marketing. Every one of our inspectors is appointed and paid by you, and reports to you alone.
The same simple path, whichever service you choose.
Tell us what you need verified and we'll come back with scope, timeline and price — usually within one business day.
No payment now — we confirm scope and price first.
What people ask before booking an independent inspection.
These are independent visual inspection and evidence services. They give you honest documentation, measurements and observations to inform your decisions and hold sellers, agents and contractors to account. They dramatically reduce the risk of paying for something that isn't there.
They are not, by themselves, formal structural surveys, valuations or legal advice. Where work requires a qualified professional — a structural engineer, a licensed surveyor for a formal measured building survey, a quantity surveyor, or a lawyer — we say so plainly and refer you, and any formal certification or payment-release sign-off is provided by that appropriately qualified professional.
Whether you're buying, renting, building or measuring — get independent eyes on the ground before your money moves.
