January 29, 2025Nigeria is making global headlines in the construction industry with an innovative leap into the future of building technology. Santhotad Concept, a pioneering architectural and building construction firm based in Nigeria, has embarked on an ambitious project to revolutionize construction using artificial intelligence (AI).
At the center of this bold innovation is KIAKIA, a concept of AI-powered robot that Santhotad Concept has conceived to streamline and accelerate construction processes. Named after the Nigerian word for “quickly,” KIAKIA is poised to drastically reduce the time required to construct buildings, particularly large-scale commercial projects, where timelines often span several months or even years.
Founded in 2011 by renowned architect Temitope Adeusi, Santhotad Concept has always been at the forefront of innovation in architecture. With advanced degrees in architecture and extensive experience in building design and construction, Adeusi has positioned the firm as a leader in blending creativity with functionality. Now, with the development of KIAKIA, Santhotad Concept is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in construction.
KIAKIA will be more than just a tool; it is a game-changer for the industry. Using advanced AI algorithms, the robot will perform critical tasks such as site mapping, structural analysis, and precision assembly. This level of automation will ensure not only faster construction times but also reduces human error, increases accuracy, and optimizes resource use.
“KIAKIA will not be completely replacing construction engineers but empowering them,” Adeusi explained in a recent interview. “Our goal is to make their work easier and faster. KIAKIA will handle repetitive and time-intensive tasks, allowing engineers and architects to focus on creativity and complex problem-solving. It’s about collaboration, not replacement.”
The anticipated impact of KIAKIA is transformative. By cutting construction time by over 150 percent, the technology could revolutionize how commercial buildings are developed. For instance, a project that traditionally takes a year could now be completed in a few months, significantly boosting efficiency and reducing costs.
This innovation also places Santhotad Concept on the global stage. By conceiving the idea to introduce AI-powered robots into construction, the firm aligns itself with the world’s most advanced architectural companies. Adeusi is confident that KIAKIA will enable Santhotad Concept to compete with international firms, attracting both collaboration and investment opportunities that will elevate Nigeria’s profile in the global construction arena.
“We are not just building faster; we’re building smarter, greener, and globally competitive structures that redefine the possibilities of modern architecture” Adeusi said in his final remark, “Kiakia is a work in progress, but once it hits the ground, it will revolutionize the construction industry”. Industry experts, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts view it as an idea leading to a transformative step for not only the construction sector but also Nigeria’s tech and innovation ecosystem.
