Building in Ghana - 10 tips to save money when building

Рет қаралды 11,667

Күн бұрын

In this video we look at 10 ways to save money when building your house.
For collaborations and sponsorship, contact us via africabuildinghub@gmail.com
1. Compare prices
2. Look for shops doing discounts such as tiles from west Africa decor
3. If you are building in a developing community, mostly materials from neighboring properties can be reused. Such as boards. Left over sand and stones
4. Negotiate well with laborers cos most of the cost is from labor.
5. Do you really need this right now?
6. Buy in bulk and save on transportation cost
7. Ask for installment packages and invest the rest of the money especially when it comes to labor
8. The best time to start building was yesterday. The next best time is now. Considering the inflation cost
9. Supervise to avoid rework. Or get someone you trust who can supervise
10. Don’t take the easy route.

For me the major cost, like 70%, comes from materials and transport, etc. Labour is high but not the majority of cost especially when you don't get free materials from neighbors and stuff

Being at the number I am I am going to see what I can manage when it comes to the labour cost but I know that when it comes to mixing up mortar it is better to use a concrete mixer which is much faster than by hand also feeding the mason is much better when I come to any channel regrading construction I know what I am talking about I don't just come here and talk like I am a bag of wind because I have done it I have seen how the masons work I have seen how the plasterer work/ rendering Europe so when people see me come and make a comment I am speaking from experience have a look at block profile / brick profile when it comes to mason/ brickey

If you are doing a story building you must put the roof on that is a MUST then you can work on anything else with the building but if you don't have any skills and you just have the money then you are going to be a cash cow
