Our Story

Who We Are

A Nigerian construction firm rooted in Benin, Edo State, delivering civil infrastructure and building construction with technical precision and a direct management structure that keeps clients in the loop.

The Company

Founded in Benin.
Built on Delivery.

Tegz Architecture & Construction Company was founded in 2010 by Tega Ogbebor with a specific goal: to run a construction firm where the leadership stays close to the work. We are privately held and deliberately structured so that clients deal directly with the people making decisions, not intermediaries.

The company operates through two dedicated divisions. The Civil Works Group handles public infrastructure: roads, bridges, drainage, airports, and marine structures. The Building Group handles architectural construction across hospitality, healthcare, education, sports, industrial, and residential sectors.

MEP services, piling, and project management are all done in-house. We do not subcontract the critical work. That gives us tighter control over programme, cost, and quality on every job we take on.

"I started Tegz because I wanted to run the kind of firm I would want to hire, one where the person who signs the contract is the person who turns up on site."

How We Work

The Way We Run Projects

No Subcontracting the Core Work

MEP, piling, and site management stay in-house. We do not pass critical scope to third parties and then manage them from an office.

Straight Contracts

We give clients a clear scope, a fixed programme, and a realistic cost estimate. If something changes on site, we report it immediately, not at the end.

Programme Discipline

Construction timelines slip because nobody manages them. We assign a project controls lead to every major job and track milestones weekly.

Site Safety

We have a dedicated HSE manager on staff. Site inductions, PPE compliance, and daily safety checks are standard on every Tegz site.
