How to Protect Yourself from Material Price Increases
Material prices in Ghana can rise significantly over the duration of a build. Here's how to manage this risk:
- Use a fixed-price contract — at Cornerstone, we lock the price at signing. Material price increases during construction are our risk, not yours.
- Buy critical materials early — if you're self-managing a build, consider purchasing cement and steel early and storing on site.
- Agree a material specification schedule — make sure your contract specifies exactly what materials are to be used, not just a brand category.
- Build in a contingency — if managing costs yourself, budget 10–15% contingency on materials.
Why worry about material prices when we can fix them for you?
Our fixed-price contracts mean you know your total cost at signing. One price. No surprises. Protected from inflation.
