FAQs

Questions, answered.

Straight answers to what people ask us most about building in Ghana.

How much does it cost to build a house in Ghana in 2026?

Most residential builds in Ghana cost roughly GH₵3,500–GH₵8,500 per square metre in 2026, depending on location, structure and finishes. A standard 3-bedroom home of 110–140 m² in Greater Accra typically costs GH₵500,000–GH₵1.1 million all-in (building, external works, fees and connections), excluding land. Prices move with the cedi, so always work from a current Bill of Quantities.

Can I build my house in phases?

Yes. Phased construction is very common in Ghana. We divide the project into logical stages (for example foundation, superstructure, roofing and finishing) and price each separately, making sure the structure is protected between phases.

Do I need a building permit in Ghana?

Yes. Under the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) and the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act, 2016 (Act 925), you must obtain a building permit from your Metropolitan, Municipal or District Assembly before construction starts. Building without one risks fines, stop-work orders and demolition.

Where in Ghana do you work?

We are based in Accra and work across Ghana, including Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi, Kasoa, Cape Coast, Koforidua and Tamale. We also manage projects for clients living abroad.

Do you handle both design and construction?

Yes. We are a design-and-build company: architecture, interior design, structural coordination, permits, construction and project management are all handled by one accountable team.

Can I build a house in Ghana while living abroad?

Yes. Through our Diaspora Build Programme we verify your land, design your home over video calls, obtain permits and build it, while you follow progress through weekly photo and video reports and pay against verified milestones.
