What is Ghana House Planner?

Ghana House Planner is a comprehensive construction planning platform that helps users estimate building costs, create floor plans, and manage construction projects across all 16 regions of Ghana with accurate, region-specific pricing based on real 2026 market prices.

How much does Ghana House Planner cost?

Ghana House Planner offers three plans: Free Plan (GH₵0 - up to 3 projects), Starter Plan (GH₵50/month - unlimited projects and collaboration), and Professional Plan (GH₵299/month - all features including advanced analytics).

What regions in Ghana are supported?

Ghana House Planner supports all 16 regions of Ghana: Greater Accra, Ashanti, Western, Central, Eastern, Volta, Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, Oti, Savannah, North East, and Western North. Each region has specific pricing based on local market rates.

What features are included in the Advanced Floor Plan Editor?

The Advanced Floor Plan Editor includes 2D and 3D visualization, drag-and-drop editing, furniture and fixture placement, wall texture selection (brick, stone, wood, solid), room color customization, grid snapping, node-based wall editing, and the ability to save and export custom layouts.

Can I use Ghana House Planner for free?

Yes. The Free plan includes basic project planning tools, manual floor plan creation, and welcome credits for the AI Design Agent. Advanced editor, export, collaboration, and higher AI usage require a paid plan.

What building materials are included in the cost calculator?

The calculator includes all major building materials: cement, building blocks, sand, gravel, steel reinforcement bars (rebar), roofing sheets, tiles, paint, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, doors, windows, and more. Prices are updated regularly based on current Ghana market rates.

Can I create floor plans and 3D floor plans?

Yes! Ghana House Planner offers AI-powered floor plan generation and 3D floor plan design. Create professional 2D and 3D floor plans from natural language descriptions. Use our advanced floor plan editor to customize layouts, add furniture, and visualize in 3D. Export floor plans as PDF, SVG, or PNG.

How does AI for house construction planning work?

Our AI for house construction planning uses advanced artificial intelligence to generate custom floor plans from natural language descriptions. Simply describe your house (e.g., '3-bedroom house with 2 bathrooms'), and our AI design agent creates professional floor plans, estimates construction costs, and provides construction planning guidance. The AI considers Ghana Building Code compliance and regional construction standards.

What is the AI floor plan generator?

The AI floor plan generator is an intelligent tool that creates custom 2D and 3D floor plans from simple text descriptions. Describe your house requirements in natural language, and the AI generates professional floor plans with proper room layouts, dimensions, and compliance with Ghana Building Code. You can then edit, customize, and export these AI-generated floor plans.

Can I create 3D floor plans?

Yes! Ghana House Planner includes a 3D floor plan designer that creates stunning 3D visualizations of your floor plans. Generate 3D floor plans from AI descriptions or create them manually. View your house design in 3D with wall textures, furniture placement, and realistic lighting. Export 3D floor plans for presentations and construction planning.

Is it safe to pay suppliers through Ghana House Planner's CornerStore marketplace? Does it use escrow?

Yes. CornerStore, Ghana House Planner's material and supplier marketplace, holds a buyer's payment in escrow once paid and does not release it to the supplier until the buyer confirms delivery. If something goes wrong, buyers can open a dispute before confirming delivery, which freezes the payout while CornerStore reviews it and can issue a partial or full refund. This buyer protection is built into every marketplace order, not an optional add-on.

Can I see supplier or vendor ratings and reviews before ordering materials?

Yes. After a completed order, buyers can leave a star rating and written review for the supplier, covering communication, delivery, quality, and value. Reviews are tied to a verified completed transaction (not open to anyone), and a supplier's average rating and review history are visible on their public profile before you order from them again.

Does Ghana House Planner track live or real-time building material prices?

Yes. Ghana House Planner maintains a live material price index covering cement, iron rod, sand, blocks, and other core building materials, with region-specific pricing across all 16 regions of Ghana. Prices feed directly into the cost calculator, bill of materials, and tender-grade BOQ export, so estimates reflect current market rates rather than a static, out-of-date price list.

Can I export a professional Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for tender or contractor bidding?

Yes. Starter and Professional plans include a tender-grade BOQ export, grouped by standard trade sections (Substructure, Superstructure, and others) with per-section subtotals and a Preliminaries section covering contingency, design fees, and permit costs — suitable for sharing with contractors during tender or bidding.

How is Ghana House Planner different from a construction cost calculator or a materials marketplace alone?

Most alternatives cover one piece of the process — either cost estimation or a materials marketplace — as separate, disconnected tools. Ghana House Planner keeps floor plan design, Ghana Building Code compliance, cost estimation, bill of materials, supplier procurement, and construction supervision all in the same project context, so a change to the design updates the cost estimate and material list automatically, and procurement/supervision data stays linked to the same project instead of being re-entered in a separate tool.

How We Got There

ARCE is Africa's real estate conference, now in its sixth year, organised with the Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association (GREPA). It brings together developers, investors, policymakers, financial institutions and technology companies from across the continent, under three pillars: Policy, PropTech and Sustainability.

▸Invited. GREPA and the ARCE organising committee identified GhanaHousePlanner among Ghana's emerging PropTech and built-environment companies, for its work on AI house planning, construction cost estimation, project management, materials sourcing and digital construction supervision.

▸Selected for the Startup Cohort. In August, GhanaHousePlanner was selected for the ARCE 2026 PropTech Startup Cohort and Startup Pavilion.

▸Selected to pitch. A place in the cohort didn't mean a place in the pitch competition: pitch finalists were chosen separately, from the cohort.

▸Third place. Startups were scored across ten categories, including trust, integrity and transparency, African context, collaboration and sustainability.

What We Pitched

Pitching GhanaHousePlanner to the judging panel at ARCE 2026

GhanaHousePlanner is a construction platform for building a house in Ghana, from the first estimate to the day you move in:

▸Know the cost first. Free cost estimates for all 16 regions, priced from live material rates, including the items informal quotes tend to leave out. The cost model is backed by peer-reviewed research with the University of Cape Coast and KNUST.

▸Design to the building code. Describe your house and get layouts designed for your brief, every room checked against the Ghana Building Code (GS 1207:2018), or upload a plan you already have.

▸Buy materials and hire help. CornerStore, our materials marketplace, with payment held until delivery is confirmed, and vetted supervisors and contractors.

▸Run the construction, even from abroad. Phases, budget, team and documents in one place, with site photos and logs straight from WhatsApp.
