Frequently Asked Questions

Akstruct Construction specializes in a diverse range of projects including commercial buildings, residential developments, industrial facilities, healthcare centers, educational institutions, and infrastructure projects. We excel in both new construction and renovation/retrofitting of existing structures with a focus on sustainability.

Akstruct Construction was founded in 2015 and has since established itself as a leading sustainable construction company in Nigeria. With over 8 years of experience, we have successfully completed more than 150 projects across various sectors.

Sustainability is at the core of our approach. We implement this through: (1) Energy-efficient designs that reduce consumption, (2) Integration of renewable energy systems like solar, (3) Water conservation through rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, (4) Use of locally-sourced and eco-friendly materials, (5) Waste reduction strategies during construction, (6) Smart building technologies for optimal resource management, and (7) Pursuing green certifications like LEED where appropriate.

While the initial investment in sustainable buildings can sometimes be 2-5% higher than conventional construction, this is quickly offset by significant operational savings. Energy-efficient buildings typically reduce utility costs by 30-50% over their lifetime. Additionally, sustainable buildings often command premium values and higher occupancy rates, providing a strong return on investment. We work closely with clients to identify sustainable features that offer the best value and return for their specific project.

Our comprehensive project process includes: (1) Initial consultation to understand your needs and vision, (2) Feasibility study and site analysis, (3) Conceptual design and budget development, (4) Detailed design and engineering, (5) Permitting and regulatory approvals, (6) Construction planning and scheduling, (7) Construction execution with regular progress updates, (8) Quality control and inspections, (9) Project completion and handover, and (10) Post-construction support and warranty service.

This flexibility ensures we can adapt to your preferred project delivery method.
