This activity is very necessary in order to be the land secured and less likely to be encroached by unscrupulous persons.
Step 3 – Designing the Project:
After acquiring the land and securing it, the next step is to employ an Architect to design the building for you. This process is very important in the building process as it gives you knowledge about your building plan, the front elevation, and the back elevation of your building. a printed and stamped copy of this document is what will help you get a building permit for your building. Architects could be relatively expensive however, you’ll get so much more than your money’s worth from their job.
Step 4– Getting a building permit
All buildings in Ghana require a building permit before the construction can begin. It is unlawful to start construction without authorization from the necessary Metropolitan, Municipal, or District assembly.
Step 5- Start the Foundation
When you complete all the above processes, it is now time for you to start the foundation. The foundation stage begins with setting out, digging trenches, casting concrete for the base, binding iron rods for columns, filling and compacting, and casting the final slab on the foundation.
You have to take care to get measurements and levels right during the setting out process.
