How Cornerstone prices and manages every project

Free site visit within 48 hours

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.

Itemised PDF quote within 5 working days

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.

Fixed-price contract before any deposit

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.

Dedicated crew, daily updates

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.

Milestone-based payment schedule

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.

6-month workmanship warranty

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.

What Happens Next

Our Quoting Process

Step 1 — We call you within 24 hours

Kwaku will call you personally to understand your project, ask a few questions and arrange a convenient time for a site visit. There is no charge for this.

Step 2 — Free site visit

We visit your site to assess the scope of work, take measurements and understand any specific requirements. This typically takes 30–60 minutes.

Step 3 — Itemised PDF quote within 48–72 hours

You receive a professional, branded PDF quotation with a full line-item breakdown, payment schedule and proposed timeline. This is your quote to keep — no pressure.

Step 4 — Sign and mobilise

If you're happy with the quote, we sign a fixed-price contract and you pay the 30% mobilisation fee. We then schedule your project start date and you're on your way.

What to have ready before you request a quote

The more information you provide upfront, the more accurate and useful your itemised quote will be. You don't need everything on this list — but the more you have, the better.

Helpful to have

  • Plot address or GPS coordinates
  • Plot dimensions or site plan (if available)
  • Architectural drawings (if already commissioned)
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Desired finish level (basic, standard, premium)
  • Your approximate budget (so we can be honest about what it can achieve)

Not required but useful

  • Photos of similar homes you like
  • Your target completion date
  • Whether you want a borehole, generator, or solar
  • Fence and gate requirements
  • Whether you are based in Ghana or abroad

Frequently asked questions about our quotes

Is the site visit really free?

Yes. We visit your plot, assess soil and access conditions, review your drawings or discuss your brief, and provide a full itemised quote — all at no charge and no obligation. We visit because an accurate quote requires seeing the actual site.

How long does the quote take?

We deliver your full itemised PDF quote within 5 working days of the site visit. For straightforward projects, often sooner. The quote includes every material quantity, unit cost, and labour item — not a lump sum estimate.

Does the price change after the quote?

No — if you proceed, we sign a fixed-price contract before any deposit changes hands. The number in the contract is the number you pay. The only way it changes is if you change the scope in writing, with a signed change order agreed by both parties.

What if I don't have drawings yet?

That's fine — we can quote on the basis of your brief (number of bedrooms, preferred finish level, plot details) as a budget estimate, and refine to a fixed price once drawings are available. We also work with ARB-registered architects and can make an introduction if needed.

Can you build for me if I'm based abroad?

Yes — a significant portion of our clients are diaspora Ghanaians in the UK, US, Canada, and Europe. We provide daily WhatsApp site photographs, milestone-based payment schedules, and a written warranty on handover. You do not need to be in Ghana to manage a Cornerstone build.

What payment schedule do you use?

A standard 30/40/30 schedule: 30% on contract signing and mobilisation; 40% on completion of structural works (foundation, walling, slab, roofing); 30% on completion of finishes and handover. Payments are tied to verified milestones with photographic confirmation — not calendar dates.
