Who goes to the site?+
Someone you choose and invite: a relative, a caretaker, a foreman or your site supervisor. They use the app free, and see only what you allow. NEMZIO doesn't supply, vet or pay them; any arrangement for their time is between you and them. Land checks will be different: registered surveyors and lawyers do that work, once our partners are confirmed.
What does the person on site actually do?+
Open the app at the property and follow one instruction at a time: walk into the green area on the map, point the camera at the property, hold still, capture. The app tells them when it's done. No checklist to learn, no settings.
What does the subscription pay for?+
The app, the checks on every visit, storage of your records and, on paid plans, alerts and automated observations. It doesn't include anyone's time on site. Build covers up to 3 properties and Watch up to 10, with no set limit on visits or photos for normal use (fair use applies; see the Terms).
What's free?+
A 3-day free trial on one property, with up to 5 photos or videos in total; location is checked on the first 2. When the trial ends, your records stay viewable and exportable, and new visits pause until you choose a plan.
Can't they just send old photos?+
Evidence is captured in the NEMZIO app during the visit; the app has no option to attach gallery photos. Every visit is checked for indicators that evidence may not be new or from this visit, and the record shows what the checks found. No check is a guarantee, and we don't claim one.
What if they only photograph the good parts?+
Visits are guided around the property, step by step, rather than left to the person holding the phone. The record estimates which sides were in view and which weren't, so a skipped side shows as Incomplete. If the person capturing is the one whose work is being checked, the record shows what they captured, not what they left out.
What does "Checks passed" mean?+
That every check which ran found no issue and the visit covered what it needed to. It's evidence about the visit: where, when and how it was captured. It isn't a verdict on the contractor, the quality of the work or who owns the land, and it never tells you whether to pay.
What can the person on site see?+
By default, only the instructions for the visit and a confirmation when it's sent. You decide whether they can see anything more, such as findings you choose to share.
What if there's no signal on site?+
The visit carries on and the evidence is saved on the phone, then sent when the signal returns. The record shows when each capture was made and when we received it.
Whose time zone are the times in?+
The property's, with the zone named (for example 10:16 WAT). The app also shows your own time alongside.
Does a record prove I own the land?+
No. A record shows what was captured, where and when. Ownership is a legal question for a lawyer and a surveyor; our land checks will put it to them, and they sign their own reports.
Where does it work?+
Properties in Nigeria, Ghana and Jamaica. Coming soon: land checks open when our partner surveyors and lawyers are confirmed, starting in Port Harcourt, with Lagos and Abuja later.
How do I pay, and can I stop?+
By card. Build and Watch are monthly or yearly and can be cancelled at any time; you keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for. After that, your records stay viewable and exportable, and new visits pause until you choose a plan again.
