About

One practice, accountable end to end.

Thirteen years of design, construction and procurement carried under a single contract — for clients who would rather hold one conversation than manage three companies.

The Practice

About Walsher DB

Positioning

Walsher Design & Build is an exquisite turn-key practice delivering residential, commercial and retail projects across Nigeria. Established in 2012 as a response to a gap in the market — clients who need bespoke, luxury outcomes within a controlled cost, quality and timeline.

Method

We deploy trained professionals and engineers with expert knowledge of current material, labour and plant costs — paired with M&E and structural consultants — to protect value at every stage of a build.

How We Work

Every project starts with a site visit and honest scoping, not a sales pitch. We carry it through design, construction and procurement — so nothing is lost in translation between contractors.

The Founder

Tokunbo Sule-Owuda

A vibrant, enthusiastic architect based in Lagos with more than two decades in the architectural and building industry. She studied Architecture at Yaba College of Technology, took an MBA at Lagos State University, and qualified as a certified PRINCE2 project management professional — a combination that shaped a career spent in the business of execution rather than drawing alone.

She is an alumna of Lagos Business School and IESE Business School, Barcelona. Until 2012 she was a project manager and director at a private architectural and construction firm, resigning as associate partner to found Walsher DB Ltd. Her work spans residential and commercial buildings, banking expansion and remodelling, hospitals and hospitality, mixed-use and high-rise.

Known for consistently pushing the limits of design and build, interior space planning, remodelling and re-urbanisation with an intuitive, conceptual and stylish approach, her broad exposure and travels have left signature works within and beyond the shores of Nigeria. She is also a Feng Shui explorer.

An astute sense of space — manipulated expertly, without compromise.

Winning Culture

Our competitive advantage is especially defined in our winning culture.

The Team

Architects, engineers and quantity surveyors in one room.

Walsher DB is staffed by trained professionals whose competencies overlap by design: architects and interior designers who detail to buildability, project managers who run PRINCE2-disciplined programmes, quantity surveyors with live knowledge of material, labour and plant costs, and site engineers supported by M&E and structural consultants.

Because design, construction and procurement sit inside the same practice, a specification decision is priced, sourced and programmed in the same conversation it is made. Nothing is thrown over a wall; nobody is waiting on another company's drawing.

The result is a team our clients meet once and keep — the same faces from site visit to handover.
