Building back home

Building in Ghana? Let’s plan the finishing together

The walls go up with Ghana’s blocks and cement. What turns them into a home is mostly imported: windows, doors, tiles, bathrooms, the kitchen, lighting and solar. Tell us about the house. We make the list with you, find where each piece is the better buy, and bring it in as the build is ready for it.

The build, stage by stage

In the order a builder works. Some stages are bought and done in Ghana; we plan around them so what comes from abroad lands when the builder needs it.

  1. Land and papers

    Usually bought in Ghana

    A search at the Lands Commission before you pay for land, and a building permit from the district assembly before you build. Pay builders in stages, against photos and video of the work.

  2. Foundation, walls and roof

    Usually bought in Ghana

    Sand, stone, cement, blocks, iron rods, roofing and labour are usually bought in Ghana. The Ghana Standards Authority checks cement and rods, so ask for its mark.

    When to order: While the walls go up, start your list for everything that follows.

  3. Windows and doors

    From China

    Aluminium windows, sliding doors, steel security doors, interior doors and wardrobes. Burglar-proofing is usually made by a local welder.

    When to order: Order once the walls are up and every opening is measured. By sea, orders take 45 to 90 days.

    Windows →Doors →

  4. Wiring, pipes and lights

    From China and Turkey

    Cable, conduit, British-style switches and sockets, the distribution board and every light. Conduits and pipes go into the walls before plastering.

    When to order: Order the cable and conduit first: the electrician needs them before the plasterers start. Lights can follow.

    Cable and sockets →Lighting →

  5. Bathrooms

    From China

    Toilets, basins, showers, mixers and water heaters. China is the largest supplier; some sanitary ware is now made in Ghana, and we say so when it is the better buy.

    When to order: Order while the walls are plastered, so the sets are here when the tiler finishes.

    Toilets →Showers →

  6. Floor and wall tiles

    From China

    Porcelain and ceramic tiles in every size. Buy all of one tile from the same batch, called the dye lot, so the colour matches, and keep a box or two for repairs.

    When to order: Order while the walls are plastered. Tiles go down after plastering and screeding.

  7. Kitchen

    From China and Turkey

    Cabinets, worktops, the sink and mixer, the hood and the hob. Cabinets are made to your kitchen’s measurements, so send the drawing.

    When to order: Order once the kitchen walls are up and measured.

  8. Solar, water and backup power

    From China

    Solar panels, an inverter and batteries sized to what you want to run, a polytank, and a pump sized to your taps.

    Solar →Water →

  9. Air conditioning

    From China

    Inverter air conditioners that meet the Energy Commission’s standard. Used air conditioners and fridges cannot be imported into Ghana.

    Appliances →

  10. Paint and ceilings

    Usually bought in Ghana

    Paint is usually bought in Ghana, and POP and plasterboard ceilings are fitted by local installers. Fluted wall panels and ceiling lights come in with the lighting.

  11. Security

    From China and the USA

    Cameras, smart locks, outside lights and gate motors. From the USA, only battery or 230V models: US mains fittings run on 120V.

    Cameras →

  12. Furniture, décor and appliances

    From China, Turkey and the USA

    Beds, sofas, dining sets, rugs, curtains, mirrors and appliances. Ghana runs on 230V, 50Hz with British-style plugs, so US appliances need a 230V model.

    When to order: Order last, so it lands once the painters are out.

Building from abroad, without the worry

Your money buys materials

You pay Landed on your own order page, by Mobile Money or card. Nobody in between holds it, and you see the order move step by step.

Pay as the build goes

Order one stage at a time. Pay a deposit, then the rest in instalments while it ships, so the money follows the work.

The right fittings for Ghana

230V, British-style plugs and air conditioners that meet the Energy Commission’s standard. We check before we buy, so nothing arrives that cannot be used.

About 42% of the cost of a three-bedroom house goes on windows, doors, plumbing, wiring, tiles, paint and ceilings: our sum of the stage ranges in YEN’s cost breakdown (November 2025). That is the part of the build this planner is for.

Coming soon: VISSRY

VISSRY is an app for following and managing a project back home from wherever you live. It is coming soon. Until then, plan the finishing here and track every Landed order from your phone.
