Prices

What this actually costs

Very few builders publish figures, which is why nobody knows whether a quote is reasonable. These are ours, from real jobs finished in the last year, and a survey turns them into a fixed price.

Get a fixed price

Whole rooms

Everything from strip-out to the last coat of paint, for a room of ordinary size in an ordinary house.

Kitchen, fitted

Strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, fitting and making good. Units and appliances at cost, on your choice.

GH₵ 38,000

Bathroom, back to block

Tanked, boarded, tiled, new suite fitted, waste rerouted where it needs to be.

GH₵ 22,000

Bedroom or sitting room

Floor, ceiling, lighting, plastering, decorating and fitted wardrobes where wanted.

GH₵ 14,000

Whole house, three bedrooms

Ten to sixteen weeks. Structural work and roofing are priced separately after the survey.

from GH₵ 180,000

Single trades

When you know exactly what you want and it is one thing rather than a room.

Full rewire, three bedrooms

New consumer unit, tested, certified, and a board schedule somebody has actually labelled.

GH₵ 26,000

Inverter and battery, fitted

Sized against a fortnight of your own meter readings rather than a guess. Battery at cost.

from GH₵ 18,000

Decorating, per room

Prepared properly — filled, sanded, sealed — then two coats. The preparation is most of the price.

GH₵ 3,200

Fitted wardrobe, per metre

Made in Adenta in ply or odum, scribed to the wall on site, soft-close throughout.

GH₵ 4,400

By the day

For the list on the fridge. Charged by the half day, so nine small things cost less than nine call-outs.

Repairs van, per day

Two people, tools and a vehicle. Materials at cost with the receipts attached.

GH₵ 850

Repairs van, half day

Morning or afternoon. Most fridge lists are a half day and people are surprised by that.

GH₵ 500

Out of hours call-out

Evenings, Sundays and public holidays. First hour, then charged at the day rate pro rata.

GH₵ 700

Survey and written quote

An hour at the house and a priced page within four working days.

No charge

What the number means

In the price, and not in the price

Every argument anybody has ever had with a builder was about something nobody wrote down. So we write both lists down, on the quote, before you sign it.

Always included

Labour, plant and every consumable on the job

Skips, tipping fees and the site swept every evening

Making good — plaster, paint and floor where we have been

Two years' guarantee on our workmanship, in writing

Priced separately

Fittings you choose yourself — supplied at cost with the invoice attached

Structural engineer's drawings, where a wall or roof is moving

Permits and assembly fees, which we lodge for you and bill on

Anything found behind a wall that nobody could have seen at survey

A room mid-renovation with a ladder and tools on the floor

Asked often

Three things people ring to ask

Will the price change once you start?

Only if we find something behind a wall that nobody could have seen — and then we stop, show you, and price it before we go on. Everything on the original page is fixed. In four years the average job has finished within three per cent of its quote.

What guarantee do we get?

Two years on our workmanship, in writing, from the day of handover. Manufacturers' warranties on fittings pass to you and we register them for you. If something we did fails inside two years we come back and fix it at no charge.

Do you work outside Accra?

We cover Greater Accra as far as Kasoa in the west and Prampram in the east, and we will travel to Aburi and Akosombo for whole-house work. Beyond that the travel starts costing you more than the work, and we will say so.
