Im an architect and building contractors from Nigeria and i must give you kudos for being detailed in your explanation on the need for architect and other professionals in building projects. Prices of materials is a major issue for us too in nigeria . Finishings are usually more expenses than the carcass of a building

Hmm talk about sacrifices. I was forced to cut my air and go natural after starting my project and that is just one of the sacrifices I have to make. Building is not a child’s play.

I bought my roofing sheet from China . I paid 2000 dollars . I’m paying 9,000gh for shipping fee . All together it’s much better than buying in Ghana . I’m now saving to get the woods for the roofing . Hopefully by September or October I should be done with the roofing . Already bought my tiles again from China for 6800usd . Paid 2500usd for shipping . Bouught all my toilet seat , water heater and shower from China again. All costed me close to 1750usd . Paid about 800gh for shipping . Bought all my wires in China again for 2100usd. Paid 900usd for shipping . Now I’m saving to buy my Air conditioning and doors which is around 7500usd . Charley shout out to my husband MR VAUGHN TAYLOR for making all these possible . I’m in Ghana and he is in the USA. I have building a 2 bedroom 3 storey . On a 70 by 100 land . When I’m done with my house you need to come and do a tour ooo . Love all your content
We always talked about what we are spending, but we don't talk about how much we are also charging people or our income now. Expenses are going up so as our income.
I just finished my roofing for a five apartment house and it cost us 80,000cedis just about two months ago, we have bought all wiring and tiles already which cost us 140,000cedis,we used indian and Ghana tiles.
You can always cut cost when it comes to finishing.... 60 by 60 tiles are more expensive... you can do 40 by 40... Personally I'm doing 40 by 40 for the whole house except for the living room which I'm using 50 by 50... Personally I think I'd advise people to do louvers instead of sliding windows... is cheaper and ventilation is better with louvers...
The problem about drawings in ghana is, The so architect does not want to make a drawing. They say they are, but they get most drawings from the internet. Most black Americans can find the drawing and when we do, they are embarrassed.when we see them.They start by saying they will create it for us, then they start selling us another plan that they say they created. Then we find it on the internet. You know how it can be.
