Why Clients Choose Contractors Ghana
A Managed Build, Not a Gamble
We take a project from brief to handover under one accountable team — design, permits, procurement, every trade, and quality assurance managed to a programme, so you are not coordinating a dozen contractors yourself.
A Real Cost, From a BoQ
We do not quote a guessed per-square-metre figure. A quantity surveyor prepares a Bill of Quantities — the measured, priced cost of your specific build — so you budget against a real number, not a number that doubles halfway through.
Built to Code, Backed in Writing
We build to the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018) and the building regulations (L.I. 1630), with registered professional input, and stand behind the workmanship with a written warranty.
Built for the Diaspora
Building from abroad? We run the whole project remotely — video consultations, BoQ approval, managed build, and photo/video progress reporting — so distance is not a barrier.
What We Build
| Project | What we deliver |
|---|---|
| New homes & residential | Design, BoQ, permits, full managed build, handover |
| Commercial & mixed-use | Shell-and-core to fit-out, programme-managed |
| Renovation & extension | Refurbishment, structural changes, additions |
| Diaspora build-from-abroad | Remote-managed build with progress reporting |
Our Design-Build Process
- Consultation & brief — what you want to build, honestly scoped against budget.
- Design & Bill of Quantities — the architect/engineer design + a QS-measured BoQ (the real cost).
- Permits & procurement — building permit + materials procured against the BoQ.
- Build & quality assurance — managed to programme, to code, with progress reporting.
- Handover & warranty — commissioned, snagged, documented, warranted.
What It Costs — Honestly
There is no honest single per-square-metre rate for building in Ghana — published estimates diverge wildly because every site, design, and finish level is different. The real cost comes from a Bill of Quantities: a quantity surveyor measures and prices every material and trade for your specific build. We prepare one for your project so you budget against a real figure. (Material prices move — cement roughly GH₵85–130/bag, iron rods around GH₵6,300–11,000/ton — which is exactly why a measured BoQ beats a guess.)
Credentialed & Classified
- Builds to Ghana’s building regulations (L.I. 1630) and the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018)

- Building-permit and EPA permitting (L.I. 1652) handled as part of the project
- Capability statement + contractor classification shared on request
- Established 1980 — a real firm with a portfolio, a written warranty, and accountability

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build in Ghana? There is no honest single per-square-metre price — the real cost comes from a Bill of Quantities measured for your specific build. We prepare one so you budget against a real figure, not a guess. Material prices move (cement ~GH₵85–130/bag, rods ~GH₵6,300–11,000/ton), which is why a BoQ beats a blog estimate.
Are you a licensed and classified contractor? Yes — we build to L.I. 1630 and the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018), with registered architect/engineer/QS input, and share our capability statement and classification on request.
Can you build for me while I live abroad? Yes — diaspora build-from-abroad is core to what we do: video consultations, BoQ approval, managed build, and photo/video progress reporting at every stage.
How long does a building project take? It depends on size and finish; we give a realistic programme with the BoQ before you commit, and manage to it.
