Building and Maintenance Services

What Building and Maintenance Services does

Building and Maintenance Services Limited (trading as BMS) is a Lagos-based, Ilupeju-headquartered provider of building maintenance and general handyman services for residential and commercial property customers in Nigeria. Its core offering spans plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance repairs, painting, and carpentry jobs, with a moneyback guarantee on completed work.

Service intake runs through two parallel channels: a proprietary mobile app that allows customers to report faults in approximately two minutes, and a 24/7 call center. The company controls parts sourcing directly from manufacturers to manage quality and cost on replacement components.

Beyond direct service delivery from a small core team of about 7 employees, BMS operates a four-category Handyman Franchise Scheme that extends delivery across Lagos, and runs the BSTA Academy, which trains and certifies technicians through a Certified Maintenance Technician (CMT) program and provides free training to roughly 10% of students annually. The combination of franchise, training academy, mobile app, call center, and direct supply forms an integrated service ecosystem aimed at scaling building maintenance work beyond what a small central office could deliver.
