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 👏 🙌 👌 ❤ 💪 😍
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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 guy is very knowledgable and fluent in his explanation,..i would really have hired hime for a project if i was actually from Ghana...nys work,..and the lady is fine yooooo😍
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
Maame, you're very thorough with your style of interviewing. It was both educational and entertaining to watch this episode. I feel you and the equally impressive Brother Eric have a beautiful synergy, hint, hint 😊. He is very knowledgeable yet modest to admit that he is still learning through experimentation. We love honest and transparent people. I would like Eric to build for me. I have a pre-architectural background, and would like to discuss my concepts with a material and structural guru like Eric before I finalize my brainchild. Eric, the sky is the limit, you're only going get better with time. Chris, may your pending plans soon come to maturation. Cheers. Congrats.
I live in San Antonio Texas and we have practically the similar setup with 3 levels and a garage for a fraction of the price. The initial selling price was 650k then went to 1.2million each unit.
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
Great idéale about such désigne nd initiatives. Yr idéal is very créative nd solide.Also an inspiring nd admiring projets. I'm à Liberian residing in France , where I followed yu nd yr intervuer . This projet can also be establish in my country Liberia. I believe as we have a lot of beautifun sea sights nd very Lively land scape nf vegetatats ,trees, such a projets will be very convivial for Liberia. We have à tropical ns sunny atmosphère. Liberia is à beautiful contre nd à projet like this is going to attract the attention of lots of Liberians nd other people. Thanks for such a beautiful, artistique, nd inspiring idea. Continue more creativities as yu move along. God bless yu.Amen
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!!
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 🤩
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!
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
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 👏
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.

This guy is a much better speaker than the most recent guest. Bravo to both for their projects. Love this
I am impressed by the honesty of the landlords /owners
The US needs Eric Gyimah!!!
Homelessness in California is REDICULOUS!!!
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 👏 🙌 👌 ❤ 💪 😍
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

Did you get his number???
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!!!
this guy is amazing!!! would love to connect and do this in PERU

💯
Love this project … very affordable.
How innovative! Stacking and dragging 40 ft shipping containers, indeed was a challenge! Congratulations!
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.
Eric is an educator! He explains everything do all, His justification for the use of the material is A1!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
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

These are beautiful containers for living quarters. Yes so lovingly done. I would stay there.

Amoaa, you are special. You conduct yourself like an African Queen. Peace be upon you always
After listening to the interview it is clear that the builder is very knowledgeable and thorough 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I absolutely loved your question about the wood cladding. And his answer was spot on! Good conversation.
I love this project 😍.. such an educative episode Amoaa..👏🏻
Yes indeed!

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
Fantastic, well done to the builder and their vision

@@Melanin_Move that's an other story 👍
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
This is wonderful. I fell in love with Ghana when I visited for first time I 2017. 🥰
Your video logs are very convincing and informative. Love it!
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.
The Lady is brilliant, she asks Intelligent questions, answering most thought In our head !!!
Incredible build. Well Done Good Sir!!! I wish you further success.
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
wow! had this place on my list to visit and didn't know they were made out of containers. lovely concept
His favorite phrase is, “As you can see” I love it
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
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.
It could work well to use a folding up Murphy Bed too
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
These are absolutely lovely. I think they are so nicely structured.
Straight to the point. Very knowledgeable of his work. Very informative
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 idea there. They have been doing this in USA for many many years...
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
Include maintenance after & every 5 yrs. Fully emptying them to repair. That’s how we keep employees with work while maintaining value of property.
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
Lovely homes and layouts. Well done 💪🏾
You asked really great questions and I enjoyed Eric's energy. I love that sustainable materials were used, this is a wonderful project!
This is how i want to start my AirBnb business in Ghana. Shopping containers, beach side
i live in america and i just love watching this show
The guy is very knowledgable and fluent in his explanation,..i would really have hired hime for a project if i was actually from Ghana...nys work,..and the lady is fine yooooo😍
Great content and very informative. Ms Amoaa asking all good questions. Nice braids, beautiful lady from the continent.
I'm so proud of everybody. This is great.
I love it, I’m interested in carrying this same idea back home
I love the simplicity,and Beauty of it ,and the location❤
I love the focus on preventing scorpions and snakes, no one wants that type of smoke.
Very good content. I would like to speak with the developers about this project for a build that I am contemplating in the future.
Groundbreaking! Pardon the pun! 🤭 Absolutely revolutionary 🤓🤩❣️🌞
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
The builder is very impressive!
God Given Gift Love the Vision

Thank you so much for sharing this! Loved the interviews! ❤
Love this. Wonder if they could build different plans
Great guy. Every inch of it is beautiful.
Will luv to visit this property.. so beautiful
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.

I am very impressed using containers for living. Brilliant!
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
Why not use Murphy beds. You can pull them into the wall opening up the space alot more
Great work guys. Charming hostess🇨🇦🌹🥰💌🇨🇦.
Planning to visit soon. Love to hear from locals.
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 absolutely Beautiful
