Cost of Building in Ghana_Concrete Roof vs AluZinc Roofing Sheets

[@tequishamcdearmon9152]

Omg... Your channel has the best info regarding building a home in Ghana!!! Thank you so much🇬🇭

Glad you think so! Welcome to Asher and Gad

@@kingstal90 I wish you will also provide contact to some of you venders and workers.

Great video. Very informative. I actually love the noise on the aluminium sheets when it rains.

[@kingstal90]

Thanks for watching!

[@TVanC-ki3em]

Interesting, I wish I saw your video earlier. Building in Ghana too. I opted for flat roof for the same idea as yours. Party and beautiful scenery at the top floor 😀. I am due for screeding today. Wanted information on screeding hence I came across your video. Well done both.

[@winstonellis3665]

Playing catch up with your videos, just found you. I love the technical details so don't change it. There are many other sites that simply gloss over so anyone not wanting it then this not the site for them. I am building in Kasoa and I actually converting an old house to a story building. Would love to chat with anyone doing the same or is building in that area too. (Nyanyano Kasoa). Going to go with the flat roof too from your informative video it made sense. I will also put my Poly tanks up on the roof to get good water pressure. This will reduce the need to build something extra (cost again) to place them. Excellent content guys

[@kingstal90]

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. The flat roof is a good idea. Just make sure you use Pre-mix water-proof concrete. I am going to put a gym on the roof as well.. Its a space that can be used more efficiently. Pre-mix concrete suppliers - there are many around - Monolo Plant, Betonsa Ghana Ltd, etc. All the best and keep in touch..

Did you forget include cost of wood and carpenters for the aluminium sheets option. Also the estimated costs of roofing sheets and labour seem quite a bit too costly compared to what I paid less than 2 years earlier.

[@kwasiglobal4286]

How will the prices compare if you add cost of form work i.e cost of wood trusses and iron rods for the aluminum sheet and concrete roof respectively.

[@AllInone-sr3mk]

Sir, thanks for the insightful videos on your chennel. it makes me dream big now....all the advice is noted and well kept.....If God willing i will definitely build a house like yours, though i am still young but going to prepare for land now. i wish you could give me some copy of your plan if possible.

Happy to help!

What company did you buy the waterproof concrete from

[@richrateafrica27]

good job on the concrete that's my field here in Dubai we call it ready mix concrete sometimes we mixed it with fibre

[@kingstal90]

Cool, thanks Nice one...

[@richrateafrica27]

@@kingstal90 you need to use the Arkproof W80 75% ( waterproof) according to the contents of your cement, I would better recommend usage of Bitumen sheet rather than Arkproof W80 for your roof top

[@francisabu6463]

Bro can I hit you up for info on my concrete roofing?

[@exstacy1885]

Great presentation guys.. U did not share a picture of the finnished roof with the white tiles

[@kingstal90]

Thanks. It will come in a future video. Stay Tuned...Bless

[@EmaluPaul]

How many Square meters of floor coverage is the ground floor?

[@yahphirah182]

Hi family, you guys are steaming along quickly and beautifully. Very good building information. As usual, you guys are a warm and beautiful couple. 1. Any idea as to how long the home will take to be completed (as a whole fm start to finish)? 2. What is your idea of time to return back to the land of promise ( leave the UK)?

[@kingstal90]

1. Including purchase of land I assume. Not easy to answer as there are many variables. For 4-bed house maybe allow 9months to be on the safe side. 2. Waiting on TMHY.....We will let you know once we make the move. Bless You

[@AjWvlogs]

Wow 😮 Good video again I’m learning more and more

[@kingstal90]

Glad to hear it!

[@allenamatari6544]

Aluminium longspan is ok. However, you can go for a higher gauge, say 0.45mm. It's easy to manage as per leakage. The colour must be oven baked not just some backyard spray work.

[@denniscasely-hayford3245]

You didn't mention shingles, which is also used for roofs.

[@kingstal90]

Thanks. We only mentioned what we considered for our roofing. We did not consider shingles.

I would a closed in porch with the aluZinc roof to listen to the rain. That's my childhood best memory from living in the caribbean! I 💘that sound.

Thanks for sharing!

[@mista-rabbit927]

Pls what's the Location of your land ?

[@kingshomes8546]

Nice work , but in terms of cost u did not include the iron rods and wood before the premix

[@kingstal90]

That cost is in the other videos. First floor to roof

Did you guys used premix concrete?

Hi - Yes indeed we used Premix concrete with water-proofing chemicals mixed in.

@@kingstal90 that’s nice 🙂. Am almost at decking. Due to the size of the floor, I am anticipating that the casting will be done in 2days. Or I used premix concrete. Am now looking for good company and prizes

LOL - Yes I know what you mean

[@nighttrain6834]

Thanks for the educative videos; picked up loads of ideas from em. I see you did not include the cost of tiling the concrete roof in your price comparison. Is there a chance you’ll share that info? Also is it always necessary to lay down the poly membrane before you pour the foundation/ground floor concrete? Thanks much

[@kingstal90]

Poly membrane - do you mean Damp Proof Course Membrane. if so, I would say yes it is necessary. If you take the chance and don't install then it is difficult to fix the problems that may arise in the future.

Heya could you please forward me the company’s details for your roof concrete?

[@Jaja-zn6lg]

Guess u didn’t look at the stone coated roof tile

[@kingstal90]

We settled for a flat roof instead in the end. The view is amazing

Aluminium doesn't rust. Unless it's aluzinc with less aluminum composition. Also aluminum nails

Funny you're not currently using your roof for party. Gym has taken over

[@aberba]

There's are hotter places in USA as well. California and other desert areas.

[@EmaluPaul]

I think Clay roof tiles are much more durable and eye catching as well
