Why Owners Choose Ghana Expert Builders for Renovation
An Honest Repair-or-Renovate Call
We survey first and tell you honestly what should be repaired, what should be renovated, and what is not worth keeping — before you spend money on the wrong thing.
A Real Cost, From a BoQ
Renovation is where guessed prices grow out of control. A quantity surveyor prepares a Bill of Quantities — the measured, priced cost of the actual renovation — so you budget against a real number, not an estimate that creeps once work starts.
Managed, Start to Finish
We protect what is staying, strip back, repair the structure, re-service, and re-finish with experienced trades and staged quality checks — managed end to end, with reporting for owners who are not on site.
Backed in Writing
We complete, snag, clean, and hand over with documentation, and stand behind the workmanship with a written warranty — built to the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018).

Our Process

- Renovate & restore — experienced trades, stage quality checks, reporting.
- Handover & warranty — completed, snagged, cleaned, documented, warranted.
What It Costs — Honestly
There is no honest single per-square-metre rate for renovation in Ghana — it depends entirely on what you keep and what you replace. The real cost comes from a Bill of Quantities: a quantity surveyor measures and prices every material and trade for your actual renovation. We prepare one so you budget against a real figure, instead of an estimate that creeps once the walls are open. (Material prices move — cement roughly GH₵85–130/bag, iron rods around GH₵6,300–11,000/ton — which is exactly why a measured BoQ beats a guess.)

- Registered engineering (GhIE) and quantity-surveying (GhIS) input where the structure requires it
- Building-permit and EPA permitting (L.I. 1652) handled where the work requires it
