Why Clients Choose Ghana Expert Builders
An Honest Repair-or-Renovate-or-Rebuild Call
Before a cedi is committed, we tell you honestly whether to repair, renovate, extend, or rebuild — the answer that gives you the better building for the money, not the bigger invoice.
A Real Cost, From a BoQ
We do not quote a guessed per-square-metre figure — least of all on an existing building with unknowns. A quantity surveyor prepares a Bill of Quantities — the measured, priced cost of your specific renovation or extension — so you budget against a real number.
New Tied Properly to Old
Extensions and structural change done properly — assessed foundations, registered engineering input where required, the new work tied to the old to the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018) so the join is sound.
Backed in Writing
We stand behind the workmanship with a written warranty, rather than walking away after handover.

Our Process

- Handover & warranty — completed, snagged, documented, warranted.
What It Costs — Honestly
There is no honest single per-square-metre rate for renovating or extending in Ghana — an existing building carries unknowns a new build does not, and every job is different. The real cost comes from a Bill of Quantities: a quantity surveyor measures and prices every material and trade for your specific renovation or extension. We prepare one so you budget against a real figure. (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.)

- Renovates and extends to Ghana’s building regulations (L.I. 1630) and the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018)
- Registered engineering (GhIE) and quantity-surveying (GhIS) input where structural change requires it
- Building-permit and EPA permitting (L.I. 1652) handled where the work requires it
- Established 1975 — a real firm with a craft reputation, a portfolio, and a written warranty
