Projects
Work we would take you to see
Six recent jobs across Greater Accra, with what each one was actually constrained by — the tenants, the weather, or the fact that the water had to be back on by six.

Jobs we would take you to see
A contractor's portfolio is only worth anything if you could ring the customer. Every one of these will take the call.
Airport City office fit-out
Fourteen cassette units, a new riser and a plant deck on the roof, commissioned over three weekends so nobody lost a working day.
How we did it
Cantonments house rewire
A 1970s house taken back to bare conduit and rewired to current regulations, with an RCBO on every circuit and a schedule on the board door.
How we did it
Spintex retail block metering
Sixteen tenant meters on one wall, each on its own isolator, so a shop can be cut off without shutting the parade.
How we did it
East Legon riser replacement
Forty metres of failing soil stack replaced in a lived-in block, floor by floor, with water back on every evening before six.
How we did it
Tema warehouse relighting
Four hundred fittings swapped to LED on a live site, cutting the lighting bill by just over half and the ladder work by all of it.
How we did it
Adenta roof and rainwater goods
A whole roof stripped, re-battened and re-sheeted before the June rains, with new gutters and a fall that finally runs the right way.

Who we work for
Four kinds of customer
Private homes
Rewires, bathrooms, cooling and the long list of small things a house needs at fifteen years old. About half of what the yard does.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs, tenant metering, standby power and planned maintenance, worked around opening hours rather than through them.
Light industrial
Warehouse lighting, three-phase distribution, compressed air and cold rooms — where a shutdown costs more than the repair.
Landlords and agents
Portfolios of six units and up, on a single care plan with one point of contact and one monthly invoice.

Licensed and certified
Every circuit we leave behind is signed off against the Energy Commission's wiring regulations, by the licence holder who did it.
Our own tradespeople
Thirty-eight electricians, plumbers and fitters on the payroll. No day labour, no subcontractor you have never met turning up at your gate.
The price before the work
A written quote inside two working days, itemised and honoured. If the job changes we tell you before the invoice does.
What people say
Reviews from the people who paid the invoice
“Three people had looked at that leak and told me it was the roof. Beacon found it in an hour — a pinhole in a riser behind the wardrobe — and fixed it the same afternoon.”
Adjoa Mensimah
Homeowner, Adenta
“They sized my changeover off what I actually run rather than off the machine plates. The generator is half what the last quote wanted and it has never once tripped.”
Kwesi Amankwah
Print shop, Spintex Road
“Fourteen units, three weekends, and not one tenant complained. That has never happened to me with a contractor before and I have been doing this for eleven years.”
Naana Otoo
Facilities manager, Airport City

Things worth knowing before you ring anybody
How to read your own consumer unit
Which switch is the main, what an RCD is protecting you from, and how to work out which circuit tripped without ringing anybody.

Why your pressure drops upstairs
Nine times in ten it is the pump, the vessel or a tank that is emptying faster than it fills — and only one of those is expensive.

The filter clean that saves a compressor
Most units we condemn did not fail. They ran hot for two years behind a filter nobody had taken out of the frame since the day it was fitted.
