The problem

Substituted materials are the quiet failure of Ghanaian commercial construction — what was priced is not what gets built in.

Our approach

Materials procured to the written specification, with certificates to prove it.

Procurement held to the written specification on Accra commercial builds — mill certificates, test results and no unapproved substitutions.

Specification-Grade Procurement, Accra

The specification that priced the job is the specification that gets built. Construct GH procures against the written spec — steel with mill certificates, concrete with cube-test results, systems with manufacturer warranties — and any proposed substitution goes to the client and the architect of record in writing before it reaches site.
