What you should still confirm personally
Remote project management works best when responsibilities are clearly agreed from the beginning.
!Exact project supervision: decide who will inspect the site and confirm milestones.
!Final material choices: approve brands, specifications, quantities and substitutions in writing.
!Payment schedule: agree how much is due at each verified stage of the work.
!Handover standard: define what counts as complete before releasing the final payment.
This page does not promise automatic site supervision, escrow protection, guaranteed completion or guaranteed contractor performance. Any additional managed-service arrangement must be separately confirmed by Skillland in writing.
A safer remote-project checklist
Use these steps to reduce misunderstandings when you cannot visit the property regularly.
Before work begins
Write a precise scope. State what is included, excluded and expected at completion.
Request itemised pricing. Separate labour, materials, transport and additional charges.
Choose a trusted local contact. Where possible, nominate someone who can provide access and inspect important stages.
Agree evidence for milestones. Specify the pictures, videos, receipts or inspection needed before the next stage.
While the work is ongoing
Keep decisions in writing. Record changes to price, materials, timing and scope.
Confirm progress before paying. Do not rely only on verbal updates for major milestones.
Protect private information. Never share your OTP, card PIN, password or banking login with a contractor.
Inspect before final payment. Arrange a physical or live-video review and document outstanding corrections.
Use written quotations
Keep payment receipts
Verify major milestones

Frequently asked questions
Can I post a project while living outside Nigeria?
Yes. Enter the Nigerian project location and your own contact details when submitting the request. Include clear pictures and a detailed description where possible.
Do I need a family member in Nigeria?
It is not required to submit a request, but a trusted local contact can be valuable for site access, physical inspections and final handover.
Can Skillland supervise the entire project for me?
Standard platform support should not be treated as full professional project supervision. Any separate managed supervision service must be specifically discussed, priced and confirmed in writing.
How do I receive project updates?
Available updates may include your Skillland request reference, platform messages, pictures, contractor communication and invoices. The exact update process depends on the project and selected professional.
Can I pay from abroad?
Available payment options can depend on the invoice, your country, card or bank, and the payment methods supported at the time. Confirm the approved payment method before sending money.
What should I do if something looks suspicious?
Pause the transaction, keep all records and contact Skillland through the official WhatsApp number or email before taking further action. For immediate danger or suspected crime, contact the relevant local authorities.
