Villa builder in Abidjan
Scroll — and watch the house rise from its foundations. We build on site with the same transparency.
Reinforced-concrete raft slab and columns on prepared ground. A geotechnical survey of the plot comes before the first cubic metre of concrete.
Cantilevered slabs of up to 4 metres and floor-to-ceiling glazing. The upper floor that seems to float.
Timber slats on the facade, infinity pool, terrace, lighting and a tropical garden.
Fixed budget. Fixed deadline. The keys are written into the contract, not into promises.
Get a quote for my villaWe do not build “houses” — we build villas: panoramic glazing, a pool, and the view you chose the plot for. Full cycle — from soil survey and design through to furniture and garden.
Services
Four trades, one accountable team. Every project is priced by quotation after a site visit.
From the first survey to the keys in your hand: we take the project end to end, with price and deadline fixed in the contract.
An architect designs your villa around the view, the lagoon breeze and the Abidjan sun.
The outdoor spaces are designed alongside the house: pool, terrace and garden are part of the project from the first sketch.
An existing villa can gain a floor, a wing or a second life — with the same rigour as a new build.
Process
We visit your plot and carry out the soil and topographic surveys. The architect designs the villa around your view, the sun and the wind — never the other way round. Three weeks later you have the 3D model and the itemised quote.
Raft slab, columns, floor slabs. Our own reinforced-concrete crew and independent technical inspection at every pour. A photo report to your WhatsApp every evening.
Made-to-measure panoramic glazing, timber slats, infinity pool. This is where the villa finally looks like the rendering.
Finishes, home automation, furniture, lighting, lawn and trees. You arrive with a suitcase — everything else is already in place.

Testimonials
The quote we signed in January is what we paid in October. Not a franc more. The evening photo report let me follow the site from Paris without stress.
We wanted an infinity pool that seems to spill into the lagoon. The architect understood the idea at the first meeting. Handover a week before the contract date.
Clear communication, in English, with a single point of contact. Material samples were sent to Shanghai before the final choice. The result matches the 3D rendering exactly.
Our 1990s villa was transformed in six months: new facade, roof, open kitchen. The team worked cleanly and respected the neighbours.
The terrace facing the ocean is exactly what we imagined. The site manager answered my questions the same day, even on Saturdays.
Adding a floor to a house we were living in seemed impossible. MERIDIAN did it in four months without us having to move out. The independent technical inspection reassured me.
About
Founded in Abidjan in 2014, MERIDIAN grew out of a simple observation: too many villa projects overrun on budget and schedule. We chose to do the opposite — an integrated team, a firm contract, a site you can watch online. Ten years on, 47 villas have been delivered between Cocody and Assinie, and most of our clients come by recommendation.
One price, one deadline, one contract. And a camera on site so you never have to take our word for it.
Plans to the millimetre, independent technical inspection at every stage and snags cleared before the keys are handed over.
Our own structural crews, our own site managers. When something happens, we are the ones who answer.
Materials suited to the lagoon climate, natural ventilation and a structure guaranteed for twelve years.
Why MERIDIAN
The quote is an annex to the contract. Changes happen only at your request and with your signature.
Every week of delay is a penalty for us, not a worry for you. In ten years, no penalty has ever been applied.
Structural work, facades and glazing are done by our crews, not by whichever subcontractor “happens to be free”.
A camera on site 24/7 and a photo report every evening. You watch your villa take shape, just as you do on this site.
Guarantees & partners
Every villa is delivered with its guarantees and insurance certificates. They are part of the file handed over with the keys.
Foundations, columns, slabs and roof are guaranteed for twelve years, beyond the legal obligation.
The site and the building are covered by ten-year liability insurance taken out with an insurer licensed in Côte d'Ivoire.
During the works, the building, materials and third parties are covered by a contractor's all-risks policy.
Suppliers and institutions we work with, site after site.
FAQ
Between nine and twelve months depending on size and complexity, from site opening to handover of the keys. The deadline is written into the contract, with late penalties at our expense.
In stages, in CFA francs (FCFA), at each milestone agreed together: foundations, slabs, roof, fit-out, handover. No payment is requested before the previous milestone has been inspected and accepted.
Yes. We check the land title or ACD with you, carry out the soil survey before purchase and put you in touch with our land partners in our areas: Cocody, Riviera, Bingerville, Assinie, Grand-Bassam.
We do. The architect prepares the complete file, we submit it to the one-stop building-permit office and follow it through to approval.
Twelve years on the structure, ten-year liability insurance and a contractor's all-risks policy during the works, plus a one-year completion guarantee on the finishes.
A camera films the site 24/7, you receive a photo report every evening on WhatsApp or Telegram, and we organise visits at every milestone — on site or by video call.
Yes, within the framework set by Ivorian law. Acquisition goes through a land title or an ACD and a notary. We guide you through the steps, but we do not replace legal advice.
Yes, by signed amendment. Every change is priced and its impact on the schedule is specified before any work is done — no surprises on the invoice.
