First, Clement says to plan your home. Think about what kind of house you want, how many rooms you need, and what you want it to look like.
He suggests talking to a designer who can turn your ideas into real plans. If you're on a tight budget, starting with a two-bedroom house is a smart choice.
Next comes land acquisition. Once you have land, prepare it and build the foundation; this is where a mason comes in.
After the foundation is set, the main structure, including the walls and roof, should be built with the help of a skilled carpenter.
Installations and finishing touches
After the structure is complete, install the essential systems, such as plumbing and electrical wiring.
The final stage is finishing the home: ceilings, paint, flooring, and other details that make the house comfortable and livable.
Clement emphasises that building your first house requires patience, a solid plan, and a realistic budget. Starting small helps keep costs down while still giving you the home you’ve always wanted.
By following these steps, planning, purchasing land, building the foundation, constructing the frame, completing installations, and adding finishes, you can turn your dream into reality.

Land consultant shared fraud tricks in Ghana
Owning a home does more than provide shelter; it’s also a meaningful investment in your future. With careful planning and persistence, your first home may be closer than you think.
A Ghanaian TikTok real estate consultant has fired a warning, cautioning Ghanaians seeking to acquire property or investors in general of the steady rise in land fraud cases reported across the country.
The man, popularly known as Property Wise, advised that fraudsters have become brazen, knowing all too well that people have that burning desire to buy land, which this section of unscrupulous dealers are seeking to take advantage of.
Property Wise strongly urged, however, that there is no such thing as cheap land. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it is most likely fraudulent.
