The gap between what a contractor quotes and what a house actually costs isn't a Ghana problem — it's an informal-construction-market problem. We're looking for in-market partners to license our platform and bring it to their country.
Across most of Sub-Saharan Africa, homeownership happens through incremental, owner-driven self-build — financed little by little, with no mortgage, no quantity surveyor, and no systematic cost planning. That's where these numbers come from.

GhanaHousePlanner is a live, operating platform — not a pitch deck. Every capability below is running today for real self-builders in Ghana.
Itemised bills of quantities, not flat per-m² guesses

From site preparation through to handover
Real usage, from our own channels — before you put your name behind this in a new market, see what your clients would actually be using.

Building in Ghana from abroad — the diaspora use case
We're selective on purpose. A bad partner in a new market can burn the opportunity for years — so we're looking for real standing, not just enthusiasm.
A quantity surveyor or architecture practice, a real estate developer, a construction-tech founder, a professional body — or a capable operator or entrepreneur without a construction background, provided you can partner with people who have it. Domain expertise matters more than where it sits.
Building codes, dominant construction methods, and material costs vary enormously by country. Getting this wrong isn't just an accuracy problem, it's a safety one — so someone on your side needs to know what's actually true in your market.
Whether you're a solo practitioner or an established company, we want to understand your capacity to support a serious, multi-year effort — not a side project.
Not yet, and we won't claim it is. Building codes, dominant construction methods, and material pricing differ by country in ways that go well beyond translation — getting this wrong isn't just an accuracy problem, it's a safety one. We calibrate each market's engine together with a qualified local partner before anything goes live there.
There's no fixed price list. Terms — licensing fees, revenue share, what each side contributes — are worked out individually based on market size, your standing, and what a genuine pilot looks like. We'll only discuss specifics once we've had a real conversation.
A small number, deliberately. We'd rather get one market genuinely right, with a partner who has real local credibility, than spread thin across many at once.
Our team reviews every inquiry individually — this isn't an instant sign-up. If it looks like a good fit, we'll follow up to have a real conversation about your market and your background.
This starts a conversation, not a contract — we review every inquiry personally.
