Mission & vision

Make building a house as safe as buying one.

Too many families in Pakistan have handed their savings to a contractor and got back a half-finished house. Banao exists so that does not have to be normal: the money waits in escrow, an agent answers for your project, and professionals are paid for approved work.

TodayOur mission

Make protected, managed building the normal way to build

Verified land, escrowed payments and verified professionals should be the default for anyone building in Pakistan, not a premium only a few people know to ask for.

Longer termOur vision

A construction industry people can trust

A country where you can build a home from anywhere in the world, Lahore or London, and know exactly what is happening on site, with proof rather than a contractor’s word.

What we won’t compromise on

Four rules the platform is built around

01

Your money moves only for approved work

The contractor never holds your budget. It waits in escrow and is released one milestone at a time, after you approve the work.

Escrow, milestone by milestone
02

One person answers for your project

Every client has a Banao agent. You never have to deal with a contractor directly, or wonder who to call.

One agent per client
03

Professionals compete on quality

Architects and contractors are reviewed before they can bid, bid against the same itemised document, and spend points to bid, so proposals are serious.

Verified, paid bidding
04

You can see everything

Every bid, milestone, payment, report and message is in your dashboard, with the time each step usually takes and your expected completion date.

Where we’re headed

Growing carefully

  • More cities

    Every town and village can already be entered. Where demand grows outside our core cities, that is where we recruit professionals next.

  • Built for overseas families

    Escrow, agents, video meetings, live site cameras and written inspection reports matter most when you cannot be on site.

  • The whole life of a property

    From buying a plot, to designing and building, to solar and inspections, all with the same agent and the same record.
