Please note there is a formula issue with the GBP=USD conversion on tables 1 & 2. The total expenditure in USD should be $3,274 and $1,021, respectively, for tables 1 & 2. I hope that by explaining that our base expenditure is in GBP, viewers will be able to do their own appropriate conversion. We have shared numerous cost breakdowns in our building process where the base expenditure was in GBP to GHC, and we converted the GHC to USD. The situation here with the roofing is that the base expenditure was in both USD and GHC, hence the formula issue. In terms of the roofing tiles table, we bought them from China in USD and paid using GBP. The total amount we spent was £4,011.63 or $4,636.72 (total invoice).
Thanks for watching and positive comment. As for softening the bars that’s a hard one but I have a design in mind and hope it comes to life. Stay tuned !
Thank you Gladys, yes the workmanship speaks for itself doesn’t it. Everytime I see the work on our sites we’re working on it makes me so happy. We’re blessed to have built a great team.
Please check your figures. The ceiling joint cost in USD (looking at the rates in cedis, it can’t be $697) The total cost in USD and GBP can’t be (almost) the same figures.
@@princenikki Prince, I think and I may be wrong, the currency signs have been swapped. 333.93 Pound Sterling cannot be equal to $275.97. The reverse maybe true. I also think you listed 2 x 6 for the wood size twice, maybe the second one was supposed to be 2 x 4? On the currency side, all the dollars are higher that the pound sterling, which I don't know if that still holds true
The currencies have not been swapped. The British Pound Sterling has always been higher than the US Dollar. As per the footnote, at the time of our expenditure in September 2023, the exchange rate was 1:21. £333.93/1.21 = 275.97 without rounding. Today's exchange rate is 1:27. Hence, it will be even cheaper in USD. We used 2 x 6 and 2 x 4. Thanks
Hey check out this video of the formation and sizing th-cam.com/video/2ehyPegrp-w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9HVx98cQuz4jjst9 “column and lintel ground floor complete”
Congrats, they look great.🎉 I am at the roofing stage, myself and my house is smaller and that the estimate I was given the wood is the same amount like you guys. Hmm,Will the roofing material you used work for a house by the sea.
We couldn’t possibly say if the stoned coated metal roof will be suitable for a house near the sea. We suggest you speak to Sangobuild about this. Thanks
Am afraid the the ghanain roofing meterial vendors might try to block this china source because theirs is very expensive, and the want to keep the price as such.I remember a vendor gave me $14000 quatation for stone coated tiles like yours.my house is a one story house.So i think those greedy roofing tiles shops in ghana might try to block people from buying from china.

@@princenikki I saw that but you don't seem to understand the mistake. I am the 3rd person in the comments to point it out. Instead of multiplying the $ figure by 1.21 you divided by 1 21 instead which made the amount in $ lower than the amount in £ which is inaccurate. Check the 1st breakdown please. The house is amazing. I used the same stone coated tiles in Togo.

Informative!
Outstanding ! I hate the bars on windows too and eager to see how you guys design something that softens the "bar" look. Roof looks great.
Thanks for watching and positive comment. As for softening the bars that’s a hard one but I have a design in mind and hope it comes to life. Stay tuned !

Hi Samuel,
Our expenditures are in GBP. So we convert GBP to USD (843.57/1.21 = 697.17) Please check the footnote for further details. Thanks

Nice video. Please what was your ideal iron rod diameter for your pillars and lentils for your last floor. Was it 12mm, 14mm or 16?Thanks

Is this Tema? Looks like my location
There should have been a scaffolding up for the roofing
Hi Prince & Nikki, I think you mixed the £ and $ figures for the roof costings
. Our expenditure is in the GBP. The latter is converted into GHC and USD as per the footnote. Thanks.
Nice 👌
Thanks Don, looking like a house now ! Thanks for supporting

Great job guys. Are the tiles you used Bond . Milano or Classical.
Bond tiles, thank you for watching
Hi PND, Please what is the colour of your roofing sheets called? I’m buying from them and I would like to get the same colour
Hi it’s Charcoal grey thanks for watching
Hi. It would appear your materials cost more in £s than $. Is that correct? I would think the £ was a stronger currency that the $...
Hi please see pinned post in comments for clarification x thank you for watching
Very nice project did you used 0.4mm standard please
We upgraded to 0.45mm.
@princenikki very nice one I have requested some from them because of ur video ,

Roofing looks great
Thanks Bright we’re very happy with it.
Hi guys, do have a shipping agent you can recommend?
If you are buying roofing tiles our contact could help with shipping and cleaning to a warehouse at Tema.
What area's this? I would like to know if land's available for sale
Tema Community 25. Land is very scarce here.
Does this cost include wood work
Please find time and watch throughout all the info is here.
Please can I have the address of the Chinese company where you bought from

This company is the best even their sales manager is best professional among their sales team in sangobuild
The calculation in US$ is wrong. There is nowhere in time in September 2023 that $ was stronger than £
Please refer to the footnote. In September 2023 the exchange rate based on our expenditures was £1=$1.21. Thanks
