How I Built my House in Ghana 2023, Do this in 2024!

In this video we talk about Building a house in 2024 in Ghana. What are the lessons learned from 2023 about building in Ghana? What are the mistakes to avoid when building in Ghana?

[@gnunoo]

Building is not easy but it is rewarding!! I currently finish one house this year and I am currently flowing three foundations at the same time! Im am Totally ready for 2024!!

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Oh wow. We need to come and learn from you.

[@bionic4004]

I'm watching from Georgia USA and I have land in Ghana

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Wow. When are you going to start building?

[@ourfamilytree5931]

I am just smiling from ear to ear. I get so happy when I see young individuals being so forceful. Kudos to you. Unlike those young ones who think they have to leave Ghana by thunder, by fire to abroad. They don't understand the hard work we do here.

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

You are so kind

[@CharlesFordjour-su2yh]

Am live in USA and am building an apartment in Kumasi and it’s not easy but we r sacrificing to do for the future

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

You will complete it. Just keep pushing

[@everymanisyourteacher9951]

Keep it up, it's much easier to get things done in Kumasi than in Accra.

[@Debraclark900]

Do you recommend obtaining free land in the Pan African Village?

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and all your subscribers. You and other KZbinrs have been a source of inspiration for some of us. I nearly gave up at some point. Very true, most of the building materials are imported from China, hence I'm also in the process of buying especially the Aluminium windows, doors etc. Keep up the good work.

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

I’m glad to hear that. Wish you all the best in your journey

Thank you for sharing. This has really inspired me a lot. I have been talking of getting a land and starting a building project but I just keep postponing it.and for some reasons I thought I needed to get a lot of money so when I start I can finish at once. Life is all about sacrifices. Which I think I need to adjust my lifestyle to achieve my dream. Thank you Happy new year

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Sure. Will be doing so

[@niiamu3300]

98% of people abroad can not build a comparative building in their places of residence. You are richer in Ghana. No need to sell and go abroad. It's not easy abroad. If you are not a business minded person then it will be tough to return. People will build in Ghana and will not be able to return. If you don't have a source of income or pension money then it will be hard to return.

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Sure

[@LewishamGardens]

​@@AfricaBuildingHubYes, I'd be grateful for information on Uninterrupted Power Supplies please. Ive had 10kva solar quotes from SPS and other Ghana suppliers in excess of c250,000+ . I have quotes for panels, inverter and batteries directly from China for $5,000 and a small plant for $3,000+. Will you be relying on ECG yourself ? What's your back up please? Thanks.

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Ecg is my backup

[@LewishamGardens]

@@AfricaBuildingHub Thank you for replying! As you replied I had reached the section where you were telling us about your 5 KVA system. That is enough to pick two small air conditioners and a few fans. Your house is big, I feel you will reach that capacity very quickly. Ghana manufactures its own photovoltaic panels, so there should be domestic kits available from 10,000 cedis as there are in countries of comparable development like India and Sri Lanka. So I'd be grateful for a price comparison video; supply and installation from local suppliers Vs shipping from China/ India. I want to do this in January 2024. Thank you. I don't want to invest $$$$ in solar technology and still have to rely on ECG. Thank you (Eii, do we know your name?! )

chale you bought that uncompleted house for 40K USD - you could have bought some prime ;and at Apollonia that big community they are building near adenta for at he time 15,000 USD, you still would have had some left to start building your property.

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

Apollonia is at Oyibi. I feel it’s too far for me. Today the land where my house is, the whole area is sold at 40,000 dollars per plot so I feel I got a good deal. Peace of mind, a good view, not too far from town, and a huge sized land.

[@ourfamilytree5931]

How much was the cost of solar for the entire home?

[@AfricaBuildingHub]

About 60k cedis. But it might cost more now because of inflation.
