Hi I’m happy to see someone other than me that don’t like the dampness problem and building from the foundation up to address that problem. I’m building in Aburi. So far my foundation has cost me $40k us. It’s 15 thousand sqft house. It get a little disappointing that you spend that much and the house is not up but in the long run it’s better + I’m on a slope
Congrats on your project it will be an amazing home. Absolutely you cannot play with any damp problems it’s a lifelong home and needs to be done well. Keep pushing forward the house will surely come up slowly slowly x thank you for watching
Your welcome, yes you are rights the building prices are 😮 but you have to keep pushing. Imagine if you wait and then in 6 months the price in triple !
Must have design features - spacious owner bathroom for future ease of movement during geriatric years 😂😂 - An outdoor guest / sitting out bathroom Spacious store room Kitchen Island Etc
Thank you for your encouragement, yes we like to break it down for people and hope it helps with others planning and budgeting. Building can be a minefield especially from a distance but it can be done. Haha watching to the end now there’s a challenge !! We keep pushing.
Thank you for your comment, I guess it’s all relative to the design, spec and budget. The hyper inflation of building materials in Ghana and high structural specifications were the main cost drivers of our expenditure. However, considering that we were able to complete the whole ground floor at £75/m2 for 202m2 area is reasonable and falls in line with our expected forecast. Wait until you see how much we spent on casting the first floor slab where we had to use 25mm high tensile iron rods.
Thank you for your comment. The feature pillars are both for beauty and support for the first floor balcony from the family area. We actually have 3 of them. One at the back in the Alfresco or kitchen terrace area which is supporting the bedroom above. Have you watched our 3D walk through video?
@@princenikki I didn’t watch the 3D walkthrough but I started and got a call on the phone and never went to complete it. Thanks for answering my questions. My stomach churn when I saw the number of iron rods in those pillars and knowing how much iron rods can cost, I applauded your efforts. Great job!

I like your building plan. Who design this plan?
We designed it how self. Thanks for watching
Very strong foundation and loaded with a lot of reinforcement. Those two giant pillars, are they for something specific or to beautify the building?
Thank you for your comment. The feature pillars are both for beauty and support for the first floor balcony from the family area. We actually have 3 of them. One at the back in the Alfresco or kitchen terrace area which is supporting the bedroom above. Have you watched our 3D walk through video?

Yes you certainly have to know what you want and sacrifice the extra materials on a build like this.
