Building our dream home in Ghana!
The purpose of this channel is to document our building process for posterity and hopefully motivate a few people who might be skeptical about building while abroad.
It is not for the faint of heart but it is not rocket science either. It is challenging yet exhilarating at the same time. Dare to dream then make that dream a reality by taking the step.
I am not a builder but I have learned a thing or two that I am willing to share and this is my way of doing that.

Very true. I believe they sell higher grades to the USA.
They do because the US retailers demand it

Thank you, sis!
BCS is changing the narrative
🙏🏾; trying, bro!
Oh my gosh I am soooooo excited !!!! IU've been waiting with every breath !!! Congrats brother ... we are next !
Thank you, Eve!!! I appreciate you!
How was the process of getting it shipped to Ghana? The shipping fees etc?
Shipping was done warehouse to warehouse (no need to go to Tema Port yourself) and the cost is charged per cubic meter. Currently you will be looking at about $250 per cubic meter.
@@GhanabaKwaku wow that’s dope! I’m getting ready to start building in Prampram and wanted to import my floor to ceiling windows from china as well as a custom door. If you do t mind me asking what company did you use for your doors?
@@mxndaymorning; my sourcing company BuildConnect Solutions can help you with those when you are ready. Email: buildconnectsolutions@gmail.com.
@@GhanabaKwaku great thank you bro. If you could also li k me with your contractors please. I’m building next to the ocean and would like to work with experienced individuals.
Please send me an email with a good WhatsApp number and I will get you in touch with my contractor
Eii.. you have to bring 2Geez back to share some more nuggets. Great content.
Hahahaha! We will work on it.
BCS rocks!! Before it formally became BCS, I used them to order a 10-foot double front door and both Eric and Sarah were amazing throughout the process. The door is super sturdy and fit like a glove for the measurements provided. Before going to BCS, get your measurements perfect because this is a build-to-Order (BTO) scenario, they’ll build for you exactly what you want if you know the measurements and can describe what is it that you want. They’re meticulously good at what they do. What you give them is exactly what you’ll receive, so ensure you’re getting the correct measurements. They give you day-to- day advancements of the order and it feels really good to see the whole process step-by-step. I could have bought that 10-foot door from the US but that would have meant paying about $9,000 plus before delivery and shipment to Ghana but with BCS I ended up paying less than one-third of the price when the door arrived at my home The shipping is a whole different game on its own. Don’t expect these Chinese shippers to give you the customer service you are used to. They don’t have time for unnecessary conversation, they go straight to the point and give you all the information you need from the get go. However when things gets unbearable, Sarah is always there to save the situation and reassure you everything will be alright. Before they ship, they’ll show you the package and how nicely they boxed it. You’ll have to pay for the box to use and the shipment to the ship yard but they’ll show you the product on the forklift and inside the container. The shipper I used gave me the CBM and what each CBM cost was. When it gets to Ghana they’ll take the Cedi equivalent which is usually higher than the going market price or Forex Bureau. The warehouse I used didn’t have a forklift at the time and wanted me to pay 2,000 Cedis for an outsider to come and take down my big box. I refused and brought my own people to take it down for less than half of that price. I love my door which is now fully installed and will do business again soon
Babylon is going down the writings are on the wall right before our eyes. The more visitors we get in Ghana, the more our home values go up , so are the lands. There is something going on in Ghana now called land banking. Do your research buy clean title lands invest in those lands. I am building in Ningo prampram but I am buying lands everywhere. Asebu, Gomoa fettey, Aburi Amanfro, etc. locate where our brothers and sisters African Americans as we called them "akata" are moving to and follow the same trend
Although it's a good idea to buy lands if you can, you need to be cautious if you are not developing or building on it sooner.
Land banking is good but you shouldn’t let it fallow. Do something on the land, it could be some sort of farm while you wait to either develop or resell. Thanks again for watching and for the comments, Jennifer!
It is not that bad in "Babylon ". We can and will thrive in both countries.
@@niibiquaye with this kind of political climate? Think again
I am a Ghanaian living in the States by way of MN. I am extremely inspired that my people are now waking up to a reality that is confronting us every day as Diasporans. If we don't wake up and stop complaining about everything that is wrong with our country, we will wake up one day and realize that African Americans have overtaking the lands and the better part of the country. They are spreading all over Ghana. Please build, I don't care where you get your land it shouldn't be in Accra. Buy a land outside Accra and build. We are scared to go back home, but we should ask ourselves some questions about what these guys have seen in Ghana that we don't? Ghana is considered a safe place to live on top of the world list of countries, so our country is attracting visitors 1.5 million a year whats going on? Its not because Ghana is rich, but they are relocating to Ghana because they found opportunities and a safe heaven that we don't, and in my opinion, there is something pofaine about that. Thanks, guys. God bless you
❤
Thank you, Jennifer! You nailed it. God bless you too!
fantastic information
Thank you, Mike!
Love, love, love Bro ! I share with everyone I know who is waking ... its your Sis Ev in the USA by way of Uganda... I know you know who I am ! Great content ! Keep educating, keep inspiring us, keep showing us the way !!

Life lessons!
@@GhanabaKwaku Can u explain the context at which Kojo is saying "Akata" please?
I don’t think there was any negative connotation implied. But; @kojoblk; I think I can answer for you but you will do this more justice.
He is a genuine man everybody should do business with him im a living testimony 😅 bro i will call you, thank you very much for my tiles 😊
Thank you for the vote of confidence, Kaakyire!
My big men..stay pushing
Thank you, boss!
My Boss, much respect
Thank you, boss!!
@@GhanabaKwaku welcome 🙏
I love that personal connection Ghanaba Kwaku.
Thanks, bro! We need to do one together soon.
Hello,I need some of the tiles but I don’t know how to go about it. I just want to start buying them parlet by parlet
You can buy them pallet by pallet if you know the total sqm you want and are willing to ship each pallet to Ghana right away. We don’t have a warehouse we can store things at for you in China (yet).
@@GhanabaKwaku okay how much is pallet and how many is it in a pallet 24/48
This is just a rough estimate so please treat it as such. For 24x48in tiles, you will get approximately 53 boxes per pallet and with shipping to a warehouse in Ghana, you could budget about $650. Once again, this is just an estimate because tile prices vary based on style/pattern and shipping costs change based on the market.
@@GhanabaKwaku how much
I answered above; approximately $650 per pallet of 52-54 boxes of 24x48.

It was fun recording this
But isn’t the QUALITY of the Chinese products diminished?
Mrs. Asamoah; it depends on where you buy them. That misconception is because shops in Ghana source cheap goods. China manufacture a majority of worlds goods so you will always have high end and lower end products. At BuildConnect, we source only premium products- American standards.
We're so happy to see the company growing and glad to see some of the things we can order from China working with BCS. Keep up the good work.
We appreciate the love. Thank you!
Good morning Please how do we contact you any number ?
Please email a good WhatsApp number to BuildConnectSolutions@gmail.com and one of us will get in touch. Thank you!
@@GhanabaKwakuplease what is the whatsApp number?

Hi 👋🏾 it’s me Rita!!! Enjoying your videos
Hello Rita!!! Thank you so much 🤗
Congratulations, your company is growing 🎉🎉
Thank you. Nii!!
The fact is Ghanaian builders are not willing to adapt new ideas in home building. They are all stuck in 1960 ideas of sand and cement blocks while other countries are building with different cheaper ideas and more affordable to poor people. Also your builders only know how to ask for money, they can not give advice on how a client can save money on certain things. Plus the masons do the most ugliest block laying in the world.
Hi bro buy it from China, I bought my from China 2 years ago interafrica estimate was 29 ,000 USD AND IT COSTS ME 12000 USD from China
Exactly why I bought from China too
Use a construction engineer to control the work. He/She will send you a weekly report and work with your builder to make sure that he/she is respecting the specs on the plan and using the right material.
Good suggestion but it has to be an honest and sincere construction engineer.
Hey Eric, did you ever find a reliable source for the security screens?
I haven’t looked into a wholesaler but the screens we have ordered have come part of the window system.
I can see your doors and burglar proof are not fixed. Just to ask-is it best to plaster before fixing or vice versa. Thanks
It depends. For doors, it is best to plaster before fixing doors if you plan on having architraves on the doors (they lay over the plaster). If you don’t intend to have architraves, you can install the frames then plaster to flush with the installed frame. For burglar proof, it should be before plaster that way the plastering can cover all the drilled holes the burglar bars need.
Hmmm, this is one of the biggest issues in Ghana but when you talk to them and try to point some of these issues, theft, out they act like you’re making things up. My nephew was adding 20% to all the prices he was involved in negotiating and I didn’t know but the Mrs suspected it. I was insistent that my nephew will never do that. Well we were both home and hired someone to do some work but he negotiated and added the 20%. My wife asked the man who was doing the work and he told her how much we were supposed to be paying him and it was very different than what we were told.
That is sad, bro. When your own kin will do that, what won’t a stranger do?
Store location, please?
This is all online, please.
