Our Company
Who We Are
Our History
Spotter was founded in 2012 by Engr Stan Anih. The company’s first project was building of coal city University in Enugu Nigeria. From there, Spotter went on to focus on the engineering, design, and construction.
Dedication to our core values, coupled with a focus on innovation, enables us to attract and retain the best people, delivering exceptional results on every project. In the past seven years alone, we have completed nearly N3 billion in projects throughout the country. These projects vary from major new houses, roads and complex renovations, to hospitality projects and a variety of other commercial work.
Specialized construction experience, collaboration with all project team members and doing whatever it takes to meet our commitments are key to the successful completion of each project.
Planning & Design
Spotter’s experience has shown that the most successful projects involve early collaboration among key team members during planning and design—typically the owner, architect, engineer, contractor and key trade contractors. We establish shared expectations, common processes, and a clear management structure. This fosters ongoing communication throughout the life of the project. Early collaboration results in a more comprehensive plan and a more detailed, achievable budget.
Additionally, Spotter employs a process we call Continuous Estimating: a paradigm shift from the traditional idea that the estimating process ends when construction begins. By continuing to refine plans as a project progresses, we work to meet both design and budget goals with greater efficiency.
Our Vision
To be the preferred contractor of choice. A company that our customers want to work with and our employees are proud to work for.
Our Values
spotter continues to evolve with the ever-changing construction industry, developing new and better ways to serve our clients. But our values and guiding principles remain the same. These values define who we are and lay the foundation for the promises we make to our clients, employees, trade partners and communities to always be reliable both on and off the jobsite.

Expertise
Our teams have decades of experience managing complex projects across various market sectors nationwide. So, what sets Spotter apart from other contractors? We believe it’s the unique knowledge of our people, enhanced by our Building Forward® approach. With an emphasis on collaboration and the use of Lean principles throughout all phases of planning, design, and construction, our teams efficiently deliver maximum value. Building Forward ensures that our people have expertise creating and leading project teams that value trust, transparency and accountability.
Technology
Spotter’s culture of continuous improvement and education is perhaps best illustrated by how we seek out emerging technologies that can benefit our clients the most. We use tools that will improve the efficiency of our project delivery, reduce errors, increase the accuracy of our estimates, and enhance visualizations. But most importantly, we use technology that makes sense and clearly adds value to your project. From preconstruction to closeout, we utilize technology to support communication, project management, quality and safety, seamlessly transitioning between each phase.
Safety
Spotter believes that a safe workplace is key to operational excellence. We foster a safety-focused environment that continually works to eliminate any-risk behaviors that may result in injuries, claims, and disruptions. Our company leads the safety dialogue among all participants in our projects. We utilize methods and practices such as:
Human Performance – This approach incorporates an understanding of human and organizational performance, including human error with an emphasis on expected behaviors and consequence control methodologies to ensure risk minimization and elimination.
12 Seconds to Safety – This personal risk management tool supplements the pre-task planning process and promotes employees to engage the mind before the hands by pausing to ask themselves questions related to the task before acting.
Safety Appreciation/Recognition– Recognizing safe behavior promotes safety awareness and immediate positive reinforcement to individuals demonstrating safe behaviors.
Safety Lunches – This bi-monthly practice provides a regular forum to discuss, recognize, and reinforce project safety expectations. It also promotes a culture of caring between all project employees.
Safety Management System Assessment– This assessment benchmarks a project based on key performance indicators required of the entire project team to effectively manage safety.
•Senior Leaders Assessment of Field Safety Excellence (S.A.F.E. Walk) – This practice actively engages company leadership in day-to-day jobsite operations, ultimately creating the opportunity to interact with the craft professionals on a personal level around our safety message.
Quality
Spotter is committed to quality and pursues it with intention on every project, every day. We take great pride in our successful quality control program, which hinges on two key principles: doing things right the first time and working collaboratively with our trade partners to ensure shared understanding of tasks. After a thorough project evaluation, we implement a plan to control quality, then follow through to ensure that we have achieved our clients’ goals, as well as our own.
The rigor of our quality management program is proven to reduce re-work in each activity—saving time and money—and to produce a superior product to our clients’ satisfaction. Although we have stringent quality standards that we apply to each project based on decades of experience, we recognize that every project needs customized planning to achieve the ideal finished product.
