- In this series of movies, I will be sharing with you our rammed earth construction journey in Tamale, Northern Ghana. We had so much fun doing this so I filmed the whole process. Starting with making the Formworks all the way to making the finished wall. I will also be posting movies of everyday life in Ghana. This will be fun so stay tuned and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out.
Grandes trabajadores.
Un gran equipo de trabajo .
Un trabajo perfecto.

Wow. Amazing work. Nice to see how it's done!

When i see something like this something tells me to just return home.
But we shall return back to Gh soon.
What a beautiful location.
Awesome man! Best of luck!
Mucha suerte!
Good morning,
Thank you very much for your videos. They are great.
Would it be possible for you to share with me the list of materials you had to buy to build your formwork?
Love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing!!
Great work
Good luck 👍 my friend
Hi Hafiz, I’m really loving the vids and very much interested in learning more about rammed earth. Do you provide any short training courses or site visits to gain more info? Many thanks
I’ve seen a lot of rammed earth projects, and I must say you’re the best in Ghana. Would love you to build a house for me 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Shalom , Salaam Alaikum, I live in the US, I’ve watched your video at least 5 times, why, I want a rammed earth home on the continent! I also want to learn how to build one! Thanks so much Mena..
Very good
Nice hafiz.
Could you please share the technical details of the metal frame you are doing and how do you setup together as boxes.
And what's the width of the wall
Our walls are 300mm thick. Formwork frames are made from metal sheeting ~2-3mm thick with a Marine board on the inside. The forms are 2.4meters long and 60cm high. The forms are placed and tied together using tie rods.
@@HafizAbass thanks a lot 🙏
Looking to build a home in Kokobin...Do you have any contractors in Kumasi that would be able to make rammed earth homes?
nice keep up the good work
what are the size of the forming
Our forms are 2400mm by 600mm.
Please is the pounding machine sold in Ghana
How many bedrooms does this property have.And how much is it costing to build.
Hi just came across your channel interested in building a Rammed Earth home do you build for others
Hi Hafiz, Is there a binder (example cement mortar between the foundation )and the rammed earth wall?
If not what stops the wall from slipping off the foundation?
We have a movie about the foundation posted earlier. No, there is no cement binding. We however have rebars (iron rods) inserted in the foundation sticking out about 80cm.
@@HafizAbass is this for every single wall including internal walls as well?
@@l.e.sparklesfkaelliesparkl5875 internal walls don't need the rods. Even external walls don't need them to stand. It depends on your foundation design. Most people don't support the use of rods in the walls but that's very much arguable.
When you are building at an earthquake prone area then it's advisable to use some reinforcement.
Thanks
How do i get a quote for one?
How long does it take to construct a rammed earth home?
Hi Meena, it depends on the type of forms you use. Mostly setting up the forms takes the most time. Besides that, ramming by hand is also slower than by a pneumatic tamper. By hand tamping, it takes ~5-6 hours to make a 2meters long by 2.4 meters high wall. We were also mixing by hand as you can see in the videos and that is also slow. That all adds up to the 5-6 hours. It can be much faster if you are using machines.
what a big shame there's know info how to contact you , I well needed formwork for my project
Salaam alaikum Bro Hafiz, r u still building this rammed earth home?. I’m interested I learning and building! What’s your email? Peace
