Hi there Bright, your presentation isn't only insightful for first time builders but it's also inspiring and very helpful. God bless u for being honest and on point. Keep it up brother!
Why do you need Wawa boards for the profiling these boards are very expensive so as a builder in other to help your clients reduce some unnecessary cost you can help by soliciting these boards from friends or old projects for the starting column? Wawa boards are expensive and you can easily use 2x2 lumber just for the setting out. My advice get some used boards that you can use for at least 5 or more clients depending on how you use it. Then during the continuous columns the new boards for those columns and also for the lentil, beam and all the top columns. I believe the first thin to be done should be the a soil test. That is the most important part of a construction project. Moisture Content Test is a very important test for building construction. This will determine the kind of foundation and footing concrete you’ll be doing as a builder or engineer.

I'm just 4 minutes into your video but I want to tell you I love you so much for your honesty and for being so open. You make it look so easy. You gave me hope
I'm so grateful Cecil, Glad to have you on board. You can do it too.....wishing you all the best in your building journey. Regards Mr. Bright from Bright&Clara's channel
Brother Bright, Just an awesome video. By far the best Ghana building walk through video on CZcams. I learned so much from it. 🙏 Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Bro God bless you may the Lord God bless you for your teaching Africans we are stingy we never like to teach things like this and you are teaching us may God richly bless you we will live long
Excellent presentation. I love your iron rods bit it's given me a clear idea of what to do next with my 27 pillar structure. I would be grateful to get in touch with you.
It all depends on if you can find good builders and labors. Because l been in Ghana 2 years and the building times here depends on your ability to pay for everything you need to complete a build. I seen places start building but takes a few years to complete.
Good info. The trenches don't look 3 fts deep though. A little advice, over bargaining leads to workers leaving your site. Give your workers moderate rate and let them start and complete the house, instead of different hands.
I agree with you about the laundry room. It should not be in the kitchen. Not sure but it could be a British design. We don’t have that kind of design in the US.
Wow, great educational video my brother. We should start a construction consulting business in Ghana. This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Always a fan. Stay blessed in Christ!!!
And when you started, building become expensive because na so its goes when people start a business. They forget that they gave you a cheap estimate before they started making a business out of it.
@@Queenmomefua Good morning. You are very right especially in Ghana where there is no cost regulation plus consistent inflation, you can only factor in at least 20% inflation rate; at least that my take. Thank you for the response anyway.
Such a great detailed video. Thanks. Just adding that you will also need to buy supplies such as wheelbarrows, shovels, pickaxe and the likes especially if it is your first build. Also buying some materials such as sand, stone, iron rods in bulk if you can afford it and you’ll need them in the near future, is not a bad idea especially with prices going up weekly. I've always bought multiple loads of sand and stone and I'm just now realizing it was such a good idea because I have ran out of sand and I can't get any to purchase due to the recent flooding and collapsing of bridges in Cape Coast. So now we just have to wait...I was on site today and not a single drop of sand on site for tomorrow.
So with the German concrete you opted for, how did you lay your damp proof membrane to take care of the rising damp. Genuinely curious. You explained how that is done for the oversite concrete type but you didn't quite explain how to do it for the German floors.
Wow my brother I wish you made this video in 2020 before I started my project. It shall never be well with the leaches over there. All the money they have stolen from me by inflating the quantities of the building materials needed for my four bedroom house. My God will judge them 😭😭😭😭🥹🥹😳
Hello mr Bright&Clara'schannel I will be using your service to build my 2 story 4bedroom house in Agyedam Ghana, i would also like to use mr Jonathan tetteh for Architectural for my house. Not quite ready yet, looking to start building in January 2024.
I use one bag for hundred blocks. Even today when I was building an extension, I used one bag for 95 blocks. So it comes down to the thickness of the mortar bed joint and the perps
Greetings sir ,my name is Francis Royer I’m watching you on CZcams and I just thinking about building my house in Ghana and I need your information so that I can get in touch with you because it seem like you seems like you very reasonable
Hey boss, your subscriber here! I'm building 2 bedroom story building! How many bags of cement do I need for the floor casting only please? And how many pieces of blocks do I need to lay after casting to lintel level please?
I'm getting confused, looking at videos on youtube, people refer to casting the whole floor as "german floor" and you are referring to casting just the edges are german floor. can you explain please?
You can design yours differently. UK design are ment for low income earning people. Mr. James....I did receive Ghc 500 cedis please are you the one.....we're grateful, God bless your hand work. Kindly share your contact with me via email. Shalom
It cost me a lot of wastages putting up my building because the mason missed the profiling. Corrections upon corrections to get my exact planned house.
This video came in handy for me, I just started a 2bedroom duplex 2 storey apartment and I’ve already bought 100bags of cement for foundation and he’s demanding 50bags more 😢
This is an eye opener for me, I will be the first person to chip in something for your gofundme page. I received material and labour schedule from my contractor for a 5 bedroom house and it's 120000 GH cedis. I'm going to ask him serious questions if he can't provide me with satisfactory answers he will not get the contract. Thank you so much.
Bitumen are used in preventing dampness or moisture from rising from underneath the foundation all the way to the top block work. Hope I answered your question
Who else is watching this epic building in Ghana video in 2024 and thinking I wished I came across this video a year ago?

Must you use iron rods for your building around the coastal areas?
I use one bag for hundred blocks.
Even today when I was building an extension, I used one bag for 95 blocks.
So it comes down to the thickness of the mortar bed joint and the perps
How many inches of blocks
@@affumgodwin6398 5 inchs
Are you sure?
@@emmanuelansah3634 yep
You can lay more with about one inch mortar bed and a half or one inch vertical joints.
Can you use fiber rods for your building at the coastal areas?

Great video. Can one use a 14mm rod for 1 storey building?
No sir, it should be 16mm at the ground floor, and 14mm at the first floor
It cost me a lot of wastages putting up my building because the mason missed the profiling. Corrections upon corrections to get my exact planned house.

Is it Ohk for the Maison to have charged me 10000 for just the foundation work? Digging exclusive
Very costly, make a survey from several Mason
Where can I get some of the bitumen. Please

did you put beam in all the foundation or only the edges (outer walls )?
At the edges and the centre on the building.

What's the reason for applying the bitumen? It's new to me.
Is for dumb proof
Bitumen are used in preventing dampness or moisture from rising from underneath the foundation all the way to the top block work.
Hope I answered your question
To prevent rising dampness into the building
