Build & furnish

Build and renovate at a fixed price.

The price agreed in the contract is fixed: rising material costs and site contingencies are borne by us. And you have one point of contact: we order, receive, coordinate and pay the contractors on your behalf.

New build, in two stages

1. Design

Your challenge: Plans drawn up in a hurry, without a permit, that fit neither your land nor your budget, and whose flaws appear too late.

What we do: your plans by an architect, a 3D walkthrough to see the house before it is built, and the building permit application.

What you gain: you know exactly what will be built, and your project is compliant from day one.

2. Construction management

Your challenge: Quotes that keep growing, materials that disappear, contractors who blame each other, and you thousands of miles away with no way to check.

What we do: a fixed-price contract drawn up after the soil study and on final plans, a site visit every day, purchase of materials, coordination and payment of contractors, photos every week and a report every month. Only changes you request give rise to an amendment.

What you gain: a price that doesn't move, one point of contact and one transfer per stage, and a site you can watch progress wherever you are.

One point of contact

What we handle on your behalf

A construction site means a dozen contractors, dozens of orders and as many discussions on the ground. You transfer the funds at each stage; we take care of everything else, and we account for it.

  • Ordering

    On your own, from afar, you would…Order from afar, without knowing what actually arrives on site.

    With HUNTERSWe buy materials and equipment, at the right time and in the right quantity.

  • Deliveries

    On your own, from afar, you would…Rely on someone else to count the bags of cement.

    With HUNTERSWe receive them and check on site what arrives at the construction site.

  • Contractors

    On your own, from afar, you would…Pay each tradesman on their word, without seeing the progress.

    With HUNTERSWe coordinate the different trades and pay them according to verified progress.

  • On the ground

    On your own, from afar, you would…Settle disagreements over the phone, thousands of kilometres away.

    With HUNTERSWe deal with delays, defects and disagreements, face to face, on your behalf.

Renovate, furnish, take over a site

Renovation

Your challenge: A tradesman who starts, disappears, then asks for more money to finish.

What we do: a free technical visit, a fixed-price quote within 7 days, works followed through to handover.

What you gain: works completed at the announced price, without chasing tradesmen.

Turnkey furnishing

Your challenge: Furnishing a home remotely: choosing, ordering, delivering and assembling, without ever seeing the result before you arrive.

What we do: design and 3D, purchase, delivery and installation of furniture and decoration.

What you gain: a home ready to live in, or ready for a tenant, from the day you get the keys.

Stalled-site takeover

Your challenge: A stalled site, money already spent, and no one to tell you what has really been done.

What we do: a full diagnosis in 10 days (state of the structure, defects, remaining work), then management of the completion through to handover.

What you gain: you know where your money has gone, and your house is finally finished.

Your questions

How can I follow my construction from abroad?

Photos and videos every week, a written report every month, and a video call at each key stage. You can ask for a live video site visit.

How do you keep the price fixed?

The quote is only drawn up after a soil study and on final plans. It includes a contingency allowance, and increases in material prices are borne by us. Only changes you request give rise to an amendment.

Who pays the contractors?

You transfer funds to HUNTERS in three stages tied to progress; we pay the contractors and suppliers. You don't have to deal with several parties or pay on site.

How is the money I send you managed?

At each stage you pay the amount set in the contract. It is held in a bank account reserved for construction projects and used only to pay the contractors and suppliers on your site. You receive a breakdown of spending every month, with the available receipts.

Where do you work?

In Porto-⁠Novo, Cotonou, Abomey-⁠Calavi, Sèmè-⁠Podji and Ouidah.

What does “weathertight” mean?

It is the stage when the structural work and the roof are complete: the building is protected from the rain. In our construction contracts, the second payment falls due a little earlier, at the end of the structural work.

When do I pay?

Never everything upfront. Construction is paid in three instalments tied to verified progress: 50% on signature, 40% at the end of the structural work, and 10% on completion, before the keys are handed over.

My construction has been stalled for months. Can you take it over?

Yes. We start with a full diagnosis in 10 days (deducted if you continue with us), then we cost and manage the completion through to handover.
