The Future of Sustainable Construction in Ghana: Trends

Ghana’s construction sector contributes over 15% to national GDP (GSS 2023), with sustainability becoming a legislative priority. At MARKSIMEST, we’ve aligned our operations with the Ghana Green Building Council’s standards , implementing innovations that reduce environmental impact while cutting long-term costs for clients.

KEY SECTION: 
  1. Ghana’s Regulatory Shift

The 2022 Sustainable Construction Guidelines mandate energy-efficient designs for projects over GHS 5M. Our           Tamale Auditorium project exceeded these requirements by:

  • Using 30% recycled steel (sourced locally from [supplier])
  • Installing solar-ready roofing (future-proofing for UDS’s renewable plans)

 2.Water Innovation in Practice

  • Our Volta Region boreholes incorporate:
  • German-engineered pumps (20% more efficient than standard models)
  • AI-powered usage monitoring (preventing waste, as piloted in Hohoe)

     3. Client-Specific Benefits

  • For SG Ghana Bank, we reduced site energy use by 40% through:
  • LED lighting grids
  • Equipment scheduling to avoid peak tariff hours
