Facade Modernisation Costs in Ghana

Facade modernisation β€” replacing old external cladding, windows, and doors with contemporary materials β€” is one of the most impactful renovations you can undertake. Costs range from GHS 800 to GHS 2,500 per square metre depending on the materials specified. Alucobond composite cladding, a popular choice in Accra, costs GHS 1,200 to GHS 1,800 per square metre installed.

Interior Renovation Costs

Interior renovations vary widely depending on the scope of work. A full interior fit-out for a 200 square metre residential property typically costs between GHS 80,000 and GHS 250,000. This includes new flooring, ceilings, partitions, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, and plumbing upgrades.

Structural Repair Costs

Structural repairs β€” including foundation underpinning, column strengthening, and roof replacement β€” are the most expensive renovation category. Costs depend heavily on the extent of damage and the structural system involved. A full roof replacement for a 200 square metre building typically costs GHS 40,000 to GHS 100,000.
