You presented a very transparent estimate on the the cost of building I think, in the Central region of Ghana, very nicely delivered. Keep up the good job young man.

[@IshmealLamptey]

Thank you 🙏

[@thebioreligiotomist1939]

Breathtaking is the work of your hand. Albeit the difficulties in doing anything in Ghana, you've striven to be honest and transparent to allay the the fears of the doubting Thomases, who might have thought otherwise about nothing good coming from Jerusalem ( Ghana ). Ishmael, I can't thank you enough for being a beautiful person. People are watching and paying attention, and they wouldn't hesitate entrusting much more into your hands.

I’ve been searching here for a channel that goes over a complete cost breakdown in building a house in Ghana. I live in the USA with plans to visit Ghana in September 2024 to build land and build a house these. Your video helped me tremendously! I would like to contact you next year in Ghana and visit some of these homes if possible. Let’s connect and discuss. Again thank you!

Hi 👋🏾,, I'm from kenya, I love your projects,, I'm thinking of constructing a house like this, do you have the house plan?in pdf maybe

[@hortenseclarke2589]

This is a nice affordable house. Personally, I would like a little more space, but its a beautiful home. Well done! I guess, if this house was done with interlocking bricks, you could get more space for the same money or less. I maybe wrong!

[@IshmealLamptey]

Thank you and Very well noted.

[@aberba]

But will it have the same strength? That's something I've yet to find out. What happens when it's soaked? Will water not drain inside?

[@IshmealLamptey]

@@aberba Bricks has its own properties as well as advantages and it's disadvantages. There are a lot of factors that will make one building material suitable over the other.

Im happy to work with you Mr. Lamptey im yet working on financing. I'm approved and moving forward!!

[@IshmealLamptey]

[@afadu2]

Great work Ishmael and glad to see you installed the Solar system yourself. About the Solar heater, beside the 150 liter tank, do you still need to have another separate Polytank to store hot water? What capacity of solar heater would you recommend for a 5 bedroom house? Lastly, considering Ghana been hot/ summer temperature all year round do you see it useful/ economical to fit a house with either a water heater(boiler) or solar heaters?

[@IshmealLamptey]

Thank you. You don't need a separate tank to store the hot water as it is stored in the thermal tank. For a 5 bedroom house, a 200 liters or anything above will be fine. The solar water heater is very useful and economical as compared to electricity powered water heaters.
