YEN.com.gh understands that the use of Clever House Technology could help reduce construction time by 80% as well as the cost of material by 60%.

Per a Citinewsroom.com, Atta Akyea said he is aware of propaganda to the effect that it may be a challenge to live in a house built in 10 days.

However, he is of the view that the amenities present in Ghana could be better, as compared to the conventional way, which could last five years.

For that reason, there is the need for an attitudinal change as the intended project is not a toy structure, and for that reason, there is no cause to brainwash anyone, he said.

Atta Akyea further noted that the technology has integrity, so it should be accepted as a modern way of building, as it could assist in reducing the deficit.
