Why You Should Avoid Sending Money for Home Projects
Risk | Real-World Impact |
---|---|
πΈ Misuse of funds | Cash may be spent on personal needs, not building |
ποΈ Fake progress reports | Contractors exaggerate work done to get more funds |
π Currency loss | Unfavorable exchange rates reduce your actual support |
π§Ύ No proof or documentation | You canβt track or verify how your money was used |
π Fraud & impersonation | You may send funds to dishonest middlemen or fake vendors |
4 Ways to Finance a Home Project in Nigeria Without Sending Money
β 1. Buy Construction Materials Yourself
Rather than send money, buy the materials your builder needs β from cement and rods to tiles and wiring.
Wigmore Trading offers:
-
Local procurement of building materials
-
Payment in USD, GBP, or EUR
-
Delivery directly to your project site anywhere in Nigeria
-
Real-time proof of delivery and receipts
π¦ You pay for real goods β not empty promises.
β 2. Fund the Project in Milestones, Not Full Cash
Break down your project into phases:
-
Foundation
-
Walls and roofing
-
Electrical and plumbing
-
Finishing and interiors
For each phase:
-
You receive a material list (bill of quantity)
-
You fund that phase directly by ordering materials through Wigmore Trading
-
We deliver goods to the site β tracked, verified, and documented
π― This gives you control, avoids overspending, and keeps contractors honest.
β 3. Cover Labor and Services Indirectly
Labor wages and service fees can be paid through:
-
Local bank transfers triggered only after confirmed milestones
-
Pre-arranged service contracts with verified firms
-
Use of third-party escrow or payment control partners
Wigmore Trading can work with your builder to:
-
Confirm delivery of materials
-
Collect signed work verification
-
Help you release payments only when actual work is done

Instead of coordinating from abroad, work with a trusted UK-based company like Wigmore Trading to:
-
Handle vendor selection
-
Source and deliver materials
-
Track project inputs
-
Provide structured reports and photos of deliveries
π You stay in control β and avoid the emotional pressure of dealing with relatives or unverified builders.
