Ghana’s construction sector is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a 5.9% real-term increase in 2025. This surge is attributed to substantial public-private investments in transport, mining, and energy infrastructure, coupled with a rise in export activities.
Sustainable construction is gaining momentum in Ghana, driven by the need to reduce environmental impact and promote energy efficiency. Key practices include passive design, utilisation of local materials, integration of renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, and waste reduction.
Safety in the construction industry is paramount, yet Ghana faces challenges in ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. Studies indicate that while awareness of safety measures exists, implementation often falls short due to factors like inadequate training and enforcement.
Ghana is witnessing a surge in mega construction projects aimed at transforming its infrastructure and boosting economic growth. Notable among these is the construction of the National Cathedral in Accra, a monumental project symbolizing national unity and faith.
