Building a house: Step by step process, Costs and Tips | Real Estate in Ghana

[@afrog3569]

I'm in the industry for over 33 years. I have watched many videos on building in Ghana, as a matter of fact I'm strongly considering establishing a branch of my company in Ghana. With 35 years experience and 18 owning my company, I'm sure I know a thing or two. This man is the first I have seen and can say is a legitimate general contractor. The fact that he can tell her the building process without research or looking at note, tells me he's good.

[@royrich5765]

Yes sir. Can I please have your number

[@evansfosu6624]

That will be very great . We are expecting to see you here

[@mustafemohammed3591]

My bad I thought you said I have 35 years experience and I'm 18 lol

Nowadays, even your own brother will cheat you, it's so sad.

[@xpresstv7689]

Hire a registered architect and involve from start to completion. Most architects know the right ppl. you will pay a bit more but you will have peace of mind.

Momodou, am a technician doing wonderful jobs right now I got a project at tujereng. If you someone who can do the site visit I can text you my number

[@randalljake1081]

I contacted this contractor after viewing this video. Worst experience ever. He’s so rude and arrogant. His knowledge stems from books. He’s an internet contractor.

[@sheldonspencer9934]

As a Canadian who is interested in starting a life in Africa I am really impressed at the knowledge of the contractor and he even spoke a few words about trust. If I do decide to live in Ghana he would be the first contractor I would want to see. Amoaa, good job inviting Mr Watson to speak to us

[@emailnasir8562]

I would love to be your Architect,if given the chance if so happened. Thanks

This woman's videos never ceases to educate and inform. You're a true treasure to student building professionals

[@triplea1407]

Aaah my brother, you hit the nail right on the head. Trust is everything and unfortunately, a lot of us in abroad due to bad experiences with so called building contractors and foreman’s have lost trust and confidence in people. I was painfully duded by someone I thought I could trust and like you said was even going to introduce other people to him until I realised all the lies and lack of work he hadn’t done when I had paid for. It’s only by the Grace of God that I’m still able to continue with my project. Ghana needs more people like you with integrity. God bless. 🙏🏾

WOW! Thank you Mr. Watson! Thank you both for making this video. Building can be so scary so it's nice to have someone patiently explain it so well and with the current cost, it's so helpful so that we don't get tricked or wasteful when you are just trying to build a family home to pass down to you children and grandchildren. I will be keeping this video close because I hope to save money and build a home there. Bless you both for providing helpful honest information that is so needed. If I build in Ghana I will be looking for Mr. Watson.

[@korluwolobah-kuyon5321]

"Do the right thing." I like this man's honesty and frankness!

[@ccjohncc1]

He is what we call a custom builder here in 🇺🇸 USA Good info about the importance of never cutting corners especially when it comes to building a house or commercial building. Doing so will not only hurt the customer but the contractor will have a short career because word travels fast when things go wrong. The only thing that should ever change is if the buyer and builder decide to go with better quality materials that go above minimum requirements.

[@cocobutterchin6768]

Most houses in Africa is Custom built

[@Sammy_Agyiri]

One of the best videos I’ve watch. So educative……he talks about using 500mm or less block in order to create space. He also made mention of compaction after filling at the foundation stage which is one things lots of people fail to do

Hi @Clement I'm very interested in your journey as I'm myself looking forward to doing same in my country

[@kevo6776]

Will your construction company only work in South Africa or will you expand to other African countries as well? South African architects and contractors are the best in Africa. It’d be good if South African architects & contractors start building residential homes in other African countries.

Young Lady again and again you Beautifully Brilliantly bring another informative video on your "Build with Amoa" channel . I am consistently step by step going through all of your videos. Ghana historically has always been an important pillar in Afrikan History and our history here in America as the Descendants of Afrika who have survived the most horrid holocaust ever perpetuated on humans, 465+ years of chattel slavery and oppression. Sons and Daughters of Afrika see Ghana rising to be a shining example in leading in the Afrikan 21stCentury Paradigm Shift from old colonialist and neo-colonialism. You serve the Mission well, as a Beautifully Brilliantly Afrikan Princess 👸🏾 focusing the construction industry at all levels. You our on our go to list for Ghana and West Afrika projects.

well said, if you're going to tile, you can avoid scriding, also if you want to avoid outside plastering and you have used concrete bricks when building, make sure the finishing is done well then use texture paint (paste), you will have saved on outside cement and labour but done painting at once.
