Absolutely. We are experienced in working from architect drawings and engineering specifications. We coordinate closely with your design team and flag any buildability issues before they become expensive on site.

Commercial construction costs in Ghana in 2026 range from GHS 2,200–3,500 per m² for warehouse and industrial builds to GHS 4,000–9,000+ per m² for premium office or hospitality finishes. A 500 m² office shell in Greater Accra typically costs GHS 1,600,000–2,400,000 before fit-out. Request an itemised quote from us for your specific project.
Yes — all commercial construction requires a building permit from your district or metropolitan assembly before work begins. Commercial permits take longer than residential (10–20 weeks is typical) due to additional planning requirements. Fire safety certification may also be required from the Ghana National Fire Service before occupation.
Yes. We have experience in Kumasi, Takoradi, Tema, and Cape Coast. For projects outside Greater Accra, contact us to discuss our availability and approach to managing builds in secondary cities.
Make sure you have the right information before committing to any construction project in Ghana. These are our most-read guides:
We visit your plot at no charge and no obligation. During the site visit we assess soil conditions (critical for foundation type and cost), confirm plot dimensions, evaluate access for materials delivery, and identify any site-specific constraints that will affect the build. This visit is what makes our quote accurate rather than estimated — and it costs you nothing.
Your quote lists every material item (quantity and unit cost), every labour operation, supervision, professional fees, permit fees, and contingency — separately. You can compare every line against current market prices. We do not use lump-sum estimates. Transparency is how we earn trust and verify value simultaneously.
Once you are ready to proceed, we sign a fixed-price construction contract before any money changes hands. The contract specifies: the complete scope of work; the fixed contract sum; the payment schedule (tied to milestones, not dates); the completion timeline; and a 6-month workmanship warranty. The price in the contract is the price you pay — it cannot be changed without a signed change order agreed by both parties.
Your crew is assigned exclusively to your project — not shared across four or five other sites. Each day, your dedicated project manager sends WhatsApp site photographs from the build. This is particularly important for diaspora clients who cannot visit the site regularly — you see exactly what is being built, at what stage, in real time. If any issue arises on site, you hear from us before it becomes a problem.
Payments are released against verified construction milestones, not against calendar dates. Our standard residential schedule: 30% on contract signing and site mobilisation; 40% on completion of structural works (foundation, walling, slab, and roofing); 30% on practical completion and handover. You do not pay for the next phase until the previous phase is confirmed complete — protecting your money throughout the project.
Every Cornerstone project carries a 6-month written workmanship warranty from handover date. Any defect in our workmanship — cracked plaster, roof leak at a junction we installed, failing tile adhesion, faulty fitting — is corrected at our cost within the warranty period. We provide this warranty in writing because we are confident in our work. We can also provide references from clients who have tested the warranty and confirm it was honoured without dispute.
