Building Your Home in Ghana

A good house is decided long before the first block is laid. Most of what makes a home comfortable, easy to live in and sensible to run is settled on paper, in the brief and the drawings, while it still costs little to change.

These guides follow a build in the order an owner meets it: deciding what you want, working with the professionals who design, price and manage the work, understanding what drives the cost and the time it takes, and taking the keys at the end.

They are general information. Your own architect, engineers and lawyer advise on your specific house and contract.
