As an ex constitution site manager, I’m really impressed with the tour and the knowledge of the construction manager and his answers to the questions that are being put to him 👍🏿👌🏿👊🏿
I first saw container shops in Accra, back in 1998 when i first visited Ghana. I fell in love with the concept of container living. I'm so happy to see that the concept is being developed far beyond where it was back then. It's an affordable concept that can be used all over the world.
He did an amazing job making these containers look very livable , I'm impressed. Congratulations creating the beautiful homes. It would be amazing to see him dragging those containers up the hill with the bulldozers . I wonder if he recorded that , lol. That sounds like it was a feat . Again , incredible work 👏 🙌 👌 ❤ 💪 😍
You must be very careful that the containers you get have no lead paint on them, cleaning or scraping the lead off is very tricky because the lead chips, and lead dust are hazardous as well as any areas were the paint shaving's enter into the ground water. I did some work in a shipping yard and I had to wear a hazmat suite all day in 100 degree heat.
OMG. Smart people think alike! Brilliant idea! You confirm my idea we can build affordable quarters which is very attractive and functional!!! Love love the village PROMOte!!!
Very excellent and informative interview! Well done to the hotel owner and visionary and his exceptional manager! I enjoyed EVERYTHING about this expose’. More blessings to all involved!
Materials are impressive. Well done. Small-space furniture layouts would work better in the narrow space. Kitchenette upstairs is a good idea and a well-planned small kitchen is possible.
You can have a studio unit in a 20 ft container, but it would have to be planned out as to what's important to you in your space! I would suggest folks watch Tiny House living videos here in the US. I've seen some nice little homes!
This is a great idea and l like the honesty of the builder in presenting the challenges he encountered in realising this project. It looks clean, safe and modern to spend quality time alone, with friends or family.
14:28 is the most important question. As a developer myself the answer is revealing. Insulation is very very important or else these containers become cooking ovens. Spray foam insulation is the best.
Awesome! I would love to get the developers info I’m building in USA (Los Angeles California) and also making my first trip to Ghana fascinated with container developments.
Hi Eric 👏 👏👏 Excellent project you have a lot of knowledge about engineering and construction and the lady who interviewed you she have a lot of valuable questions you too are very amazing 🤩 I really enjoyed watching this video I hope you will bring more videos like this we are learning from your knowledge and your experience Keep up your good luck God bless you all

Hi Amoah. It’s common in the USA. I think you guys can take this to another level. However, if the land within the continent gets a structure facelift with smooth roads, you can do wonders with shipping containers.
@@multipolarworld. At least $50,000+. It's unreal how much things like this will cost in America, right!? Using shipping containers to build your home is genius! There is another group of African Archectects that use shipping containers to build both residential and commercial building projects. I forget their name, but they were featured in a RUclips as well. I forget what African country their business is located in. But they produced beautiful and very useful residential and commercial products. African ingenuity is amazing!!!
@@multipolarworld. Well it can be even cheaper if you know what your doing. There are quite a number of People all over the US that is turning school buses, Vans, into homes on wheels. Some attach the homes made to their vehicles and travel on the road. Tiny homes, shipping container homes.
I think he needs to protect the roofing as much as he has protected the sides because the roof can rot and leak easily if there were no proper covering over the container material as observed on the video.
I loved everything about the entire project: Eric's resilience to work through all challenges. What an outstandingly, beautiful community! I liked how Eric problem solved which materials to use. He thought well about the location and environment, inorder to make his material choices: 1. Water, 2. Sun, 3. Wind, 4. Scorpions and snakes. Pest control. No plants for the snakes and scorpions to shade themselves from the sun. Good presentation Amoaa. Well done! And Thank you.
Amoaa, you put out excellent and educational content. Kudos! No disrespect, NONE at all; but you are also a gorgeous African Queen. Kudos to that as well.
ZEEEEEEEEEEEEN . This is the nicest shipping container building I've seen yet, and probably the fittest to live in still!! This is like on a Mini-Mansion level, but downsized in price, not quite the way I'd build my home, but is still very fascinating and eye-catching
The plastic T&G is also highly inflammable so really not advisable.i wonder of it's insulated in case of fire so that even if it should happen it will give them time to escape. Brilliant project anyway and great pricing. Well done 👏
Does the top apartment get access to the kitchen downstairs at all? Or is just for the 2nd apartment? Trying to figure out how the tenants on the top floor or going to cook their food. Maybe I missed the conversation or something can someone elaborate please let me know.
20:23 love the tiles & grass that’s how we can grow herbs 🌿 spices on a private patio. ;) thanks 🙏🏾 so very much. Beautiful view. Better than New York tower view based upon housings not projects of skyscrapers
This is amazing! Good job! One thing I would suggest for this RUclips channel is some transitional music as your switching rooms ect but yeah great job on the containers and good questions asked by the host - loved this episode 🤩
In the USA special interests, would fight these type of homes 🏡 because, it’s not overpriced or susceptible to Tornadoes or Hurricanes that blow whole neighbours into oblivion. Furthermore, the media, corporations and politicians would go insane,to the logic of such a home concept. Container homes would certainly be an attractive option in the USA, but as explained it would ignite a Capitalist Nightmare instead of the obvious!!
United States real estate investor here saying great job great interview and keep it up I'm very seriously thinking of doing the same thing except I would go 2 wide on each unit keep it up my friends and God bless you all Richard from West Coast United States
To protect the containers you can come back and spray the rubber liner that they use in pick up trucks and spray their rubber liner inside and out and then let it air out

Very good point. A suggestion is to have independent testing during the project's progression. Safety first.
What would you recommend for the sterilization of the container metal
OMG. Smart people think alike! Brilliant idea! You confirm my idea we can build affordable quarters which is very attractive and functional!!! Love love the village PROMOte!!!
Fantastic, well done to the builder and their vision
wow! had this place on my list to visit and didn't know they were made out of containers. lovely concept

Love this project … very affordable.
I need to meet this guy, for my project in Nigeria .God blessed you bro.Very soon we will work together for great projects.😍✌️👊
Check Container builds Nigeria great company
Can I hv this builder number number
Did you get his number???
this guy is amazing!!! would love to connect and do this in PERU
Eric is an educator! He explains everything do all, His justification for the use of the material is A1!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Why not use Murphy beds. You can pull them into the wall opening up the space alot more
Straight to the point. Very knowledgeable of his work. Very informative
These are beautiful containers for living quarters. Yes so lovingly done. I would stay there.
I love the simplicity,and Beauty of it ,and the location❤
Great Idea.. my only worry is thermal insulation. I envisage lots of heat in the in the dry season.
Incredible build. Well Done Good Sir!!! I wish you further success.
Your video logs are very convincing and informative. Love it!
Very good video. Very well explained your use of building terminology is on point. Really love it I'll give it 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✅
Éric is a fabulous genius. He speaks well, knowledgeable and seems to have a great gripe on being successful.

Beautiful concept and design, the only thing missing is some outside landscaping Excellent job!
The landscape was explained in the video that he had to reduce it because of snakes and scorpions
The efficiency of the space and quality of craftsmanship is insane !
Yessss this is the difference between amateurs an professionals!
Great Job 👏 Here in Puerto Rico people are purchasing containers to do Tiny Houses but not for apartments.( great idea).
Hola Armando, are you a builder or do you know someone in PR that is building tiny houses? I am interested in building in Maizales.
@@wbanks3749 Hello 👋. No I’m not a builder, just a youtuber that shows off our Island on my youtube channel. @SolOSombra
@@SolOSombra Thanks, I'll check it out.
This guy is a much better speaker than the most recent guest. Bravo to both for their projects. Love this
I love this project 😍.. such an educative episode Amoaa..👏🏻
Yes indeed!
The US needs Eric Gyimah!!!
Homelessness in California is REDICULOUS!!!
Love this. Wonder if they could build different plans
It could work well to use a folding up Murphy Bed too
Congratulations Lady , you are doing great
Lovely! I would love to see the lounge/couch areas switched with the beds for better flow through the units. Otherwise looks nice.
I live in the US. Can I purchase one of those units with the land? Or can you arrange a piece of land for sale ? I’m very interested
Im too!! It will be way cheaper then buying a house
Where are the houses located? I'm interested, please reply
A land purchase is multiplied times over more complicated than walking up n buyin a container.... A realtor is a great idea
Purchase your land, then your containers, hire a general contractor
Incredible tiny homes has really nice shipping containers they've built. Great price as ❤️🩹
This is wonderful. I fell in love with Ghana when I visited for first time I 2017. 🥰
I’m impressed with the work that looks very profitable. I would love to visit Ghana and stay there. One for my bucket list. Good job!
Hit me up while in Ghana n let me host you
Moving and explore the best innovation...just proud of U guys nice idea and well designed it's truly incredible am highly admired work done thnx
Great job we also use shipping containers for shower houses in Saudi Arabia work great stay safe and bless he did a great job congratulations
Your dress is smokin'. Nice houses. The view is breathtaking, luv the curb appeal, lines, natural curves, etc.
very well done, the apartments are very secure and the balcony and views are Wonderful

💯
I met with him on Wednesday and he was very cool and knowledgeable. I am happy to be working on a project with him.
How can I get in contact with him?
@@jaymuleka9671 the number is on the description
How innovative! Stacking and dragging 40 ft shipping containers, indeed was a challenge! Congratulations!
Awesome! I would love to get the developers info I’m building in USA (Los Angeles California) and also making my first trip to Ghana fascinated with container developments.
What kind of building you build in Los Angeles I’m curious
I am impressed by the honesty of the landlords /owners
Very good content. I would like to speak with the developers about this project for a build that I am contemplating in the future.
I absolutely loved your question about the wood cladding. And his answer was spot on! Good conversation.
These are absolutely lovely. I think they are so nicely structured.

When I come home to LA, I would like to visit your project. I’m planning to do one in Atlanta.
After listening to the interview it is clear that the builder is very knowledgeable and thorough 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Love this Project, awesone!!❤💯
Hi Amoah. It’s common in the USA. I think you guys can take this to another level. However, if the land within the continent gets a structure facelift with smooth roads, you can do wonders with shipping containers.
How much that will cost in the US?

Maybe like 20 years ago.

Tiny homes, shipping container homes.
@@Melanin_Move that's an other story 👍
Its always good to see black people doing well like this
Amoaa, you are special. You conduct yourself like an African Queen. Peace be upon you always
Lovely homes and layouts. Well done 💪🏾
Brilliant!
I'd be concerned about extreme temp conditions in a shipping container
I think he needs to protect the roofing as much as he has protected the sides because the roof can rot and leak easily if there were no proper covering over the container material as observed on the video.
I think i saw them showing the roofing. It is protected with sheets slopping on both sides.
This is amazing
I love it, I’m interested in carrying this same idea back home
Great idea there. They have been doing this in USA for many many years...
I loved everything about the entire project: Eric's resilience to work through all challenges. What an outstandingly, beautiful community!

Good day. Tell me please, which body of water is that in the distance? Thank you.❣️
Another good video with very relevant questions and answers. Thank you!
Great content and very informative. Ms Amoaa asking all good questions. Nice braids, beautiful lady from the continent.
Amoaa, you put out excellent and educational content. Kudos! No disrespect, NONE at all; but you are also a gorgeous African Queen. Kudos to that as well.
ZEEEEEEEEEEEEN . This is the nicest shipping container building I've seen yet, and probably the fittest to live in still!!
This is like on a Mini-Mansion level, but downsized in price, not quite the way I'd build my home, but is still very fascinating and eye-catching
Include maintenance after & every 5 yrs. Fully emptying them to repair. That’s how we keep employees with work while maintaining value of property.
I live in the US and I wish we have these contain a here I am moving to Ghana I need a house in Ghana
Facts bro! Me too, see you in Ghana 🇬🇭
The Lady is brilliant, she asks Intelligent questions, answering most thought In our head !!!
How do you contact this guy?
This is lovely!!!
I see you put a price tag of $7895 on it but are some of these units for sale or they're all rental purposes?
That's what I'm wondering.
With a little bit of knowledge, creative Africans can change the world in a good way. Stay Black, Beautiful, and Strong!!!
The plastic T&G is also highly inflammable so really not advisable.i wonder of it's insulated in case of fire so that even if it should happen it will give them time to escape. Brilliant project anyway and great pricing. Well done 👏
He is the only one who does not change his price estimate when you get intouch . So come on youtube with low prices and double it when you call them
I will be contacting you in a few months
I love your style and will check the place soon, good work bro
I would love this
Beautiful and it's will be great if 2 can be join to widen it great job ✌👏

Love this. And all the construction details! Fantastic watch of an intriguing project. Well done all. Thanks 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a great idea! Nice way to recycle those shipping containers. Your on to something. It’s beautifully done. USA needs to do this too.

Excellent video but i really wanted to know how they cope with rain for people living in the upper room.thanks ❤
To protect the containers you can come back and spray the rubber liner that they use in pick up trucks and spray their rubber liner inside and out and then let it air out
Can I get the information for the builder,this would be a lovely project for Liberia
Check the description below
I Love this way to build beautiful cheaper house.
Can you always mention the area like Tema, Accra etc. Thank you 🙏🏿
I would love to get one of the top units as a spot to enjoy smoking weed
😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful, i love something like this in naija someday
What a great idea very unique and he is very brilliant this is needed and many communities it will solve a lot of problems for a lot of people
Hello. How much would it cost to build one of those... I mean the two story. Exact as in the video
I'm going to do this here in America. I refuse to buy a home or rent anything.
