About ADLM
ADLM is a Nigerian ConTech studio that digitises quantity surveying end to end — model-based takeoff, rate build-ups, bills, programmes and dashboards — and puts the whole workflow on one platform. We do not sell a tool and leave. We bring firms the software, the training and the process together, so the change actually holds.

Our Mission
To digitise the quantity surveying process for African firms — improving accuracy, productivity and workflow from model-based takeoff through rate build-up, bills and handover — and to make that change stick by pairing every tool with the training and process a firm needs to adopt it.
Our Vision
To become the leading ConTech ecosystem for the continent—connecting BIM, AI, and local market intelligenceso every QS can deliver world-class results anywhere in Nigeria and beyond.
Our Core Values
Principles that shape how we build, teach, and support our community.
Why firms choose us
Built for how Nigerian QS firms actually work
Most construction software is built elsewhere, priced elsewhere, and assumes a workflow that is not yours. Ours is not.
Takeoff from Revit, ArchiCAD, PlanSwift or a flat drawing; rates built from live material and labour prices; bills, programmes and dashboards off the same data. One login, one entitlement, no re-keying between steps.
Rate build-ups run on Nigerian material and labour prices you can edit, not on a foreign cost book converted at a guess. The same engine supports international rates when a project needs them.
Software alone does not change how a firm estimates. Every programme pairs the tools with structured training and a working process, delivered in person or online, so the team keeps using it after we leave.
Official Technical Partner to the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, resource persons on the NIQS professional readiness programme, and 800+ AEC professionals trained through our cohorts and corporate programmes.
Beyond software: scan-to-BIM as-built documentation delivered for a Lagos data centre, 4D and 5D BIM programmes running with contractors and QS firms, and MEP and HVAC BIM training delivered on site.
Cost intelligence, bill checking and rate build-up support are metered into every subscription — used where it saves a quantity surveyor real time, not bolted on as a demo.
