Comparing supplier prices and coordinating deliveries is one of the most time-consuming parts of building in Ghana. Here's how GhanaHousePlanner's CornerStore procurement tool connects your BOQ to material ordering.
Sourcing materials is one of the least predictable parts of building in Ghana. Prices swing between suppliers and regions (see our materials price guide), quality varies, and coordinating deliveries against your construction schedule usually means dozens of phone calls and site visits. CornerStore is GhanaHousePlanner's procurement tool, built to remove as much of that friction as possible.
Without a connected system, procurement in Ghana typically looks like this:
Each of these steps is a place where budgets slip and timelines stretch.
A procurement tool is only as good as the quantities feeding it. Because CornerStore is connected to the same engine that generates your floor plan and cost estimate, the material list reflects your actual house design — room sizes, wall lengths, roof area — not a generic square-metre rule of thumb. That matters most for the materials where over- or under-ordering is expensive: cement, steel reinforcement, and roofing sheets, all of which vary directly with your specific floor plan.
Procurement isn't a one-time event — materials are needed in phases that match construction:
Ordering everything at once wastes money on storage, theft risk, and material degradation on site. Ordering phase-by-phase against your BOQ, timed to your construction timeline, is the more disciplined approach — and the one CornerStore is built around.
