Why DiasporaBuild

Trust, built into every step

Weekly photo digest

A curated set of geo-tagged, timestamped site photos every Friday — never wonder what's happening again.

GPS-verified

Each photo carries the coordinates and accuracy from where it was taken — not a stock image, not last month's shot.

Milestone escrow

Funds release only after you've reviewed the proof and approved the milestone.

Permanent record

Every photo, payment and approval is logged. Forward the link to your spouse, bank or lawyer.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is my money safe in escrow?

Yes. Funds you deposit stay in your project escrow until you personally approve a milestone release. Nobody — not even us — can move them otherwise.

What if my contractor inflates costs?

Every BOQ line is benchmarked against live supplier prices in your county, and our fraud engine flags anomalies in real time.

Can I bring my own contractor?

Absolutely. Invite them into the project and they'll get a contractor workspace to post updates and request payments.

What does it cost?

Free during the Kenya pilot. After that, a small platform fee on escrow releases — no markup on materials or contractor pricing.
