How a build runs

Seven steps. No surprises.

A smaller complete build normally takes 4 to 8 weeks after scope approval. You see progress at set review points, and you sign off before launch.

How we work
  1. 01

    Before you pay

    Understand

    A free 20 to 30 minute Zoom call. We learn the problem, the people involved, how it works today, and the result you want.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    Scope

    We define the complete build: what is included and excluded, responsibilities, timeline, and price. Proposals are valid for 14 days.

  3. 03

    Week 1

    Design

    We map the workflow, data, permissions, screens, integrations, and the acceptance criteria you will sign off.

  4. 04

    Weeks 2 to 6

    Build

    We build the agreed system and show you progress at set review points, so there are no surprises at the end.

  5. 05

    Before launch

    Test

    Functional, integration, and security checks, then your team tests it against the acceptance criteria.

  6. 06

    Go live

    Launch

    We deploy, configure, train your users, and hand over access and documentation.

  7. 07

    After launch

    Support

    We fix covered defects during the agreed support period, then propose any next phase separately.

Clear terms

What you pay for, and what you do not.

Clear scope protects both of us. Here is what every build includes, what is priced separately, and how payment works.

Every build includes

  • A complete, working system for the agreed scope
  • Deployment to an agreed production environment
  • Administrator and user guidance
  • Launch training for your team
  • A defined bug-fix period after launch
  • Source code, licence, or access handover after final payment

Stated separately, before you sign

  • Hosting, subscriptions, SMS, WhatsApp, and AI usage costs are listed in your proposal before you sign
  • Native mobile apps, complex data migration, and compliance audits are scoped separately
  • New features after launch are a new phase, priced separately

Questions

Before you ask.

Why do builds start at ₦2,000,000?

Because every build is a complete, working system: design, development, testing, deployment, training, and a bug-fix period. The starting price can cover a complete smaller product. Larger systems cost more, and we confirm the final price after scoping.

Are your prices VAT inclusive?

Yes. Every price on this site includes VAT. Third-party costs, such as hosting, subscriptions, messaging, and AI usage, are listed separately in your proposal before you sign.

Do we own the software?

Ownership, licensing, and source-code or access handover are written into your contract. Handover happens after final payment.

How long does a build take?

A smaller complete build normally takes 4 to 8 weeks after scope approval, payment, and access to the information we need. Larger systems take 8 to 16 weeks or more, and we deliver them in phases.

Is the first call free?

Yes. The discovery call is a free 20 to 30 minute Zoom call to understand your needs. AI Consultation & Strategy is a separate, paid engagement with defined outputs.

We are not sure what we need. Where should we start?

Start a project anyway and describe the problem. If the scope needs real investigation, we will recommend AI Consultation & Strategy or a paid scoping engagement before a build.

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Usually, yes. Integrations with payment providers, messaging, email, accounting tools, and spreadsheets are common. We confirm each integration during scoping.

How do you handle our data?

We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act. We collect only what a system needs, give each person the least access they need, log sensitive actions, and never send your data to third-party AI tools without your approval.

What happens after launch?

Covered defects are fixed during the agreed support period. After that, you can add a support and improvement plan, a new module, an automation, or team training.

Do you work with businesses outside Nigeria?

Labs is Nigeria-first, with Naira pricing and local support. If you are building a global product, our sister company Hiddekel Studio may be the better fit.
