This youtuber did a lot of research before interviewing the guy which is very impressive, she ask all the right questions. Kudos to her 😊
I know!!! You'd think that one would be professional and well prepared when going on Camera, but You'd be surprised!
Good job for her.
I love professionalism.
Very good video

She was very eloquent
She knows her stuff. Probably has an engineering or architecture background. Wa biin... Gh man go talk
This answered ALL my questions about container homes. Wow!! UA-cam, pay this girl WELLL because she has produced VALUABLE content. Well done!

This was a really good video, the host is well rounded, informed and asked relevant questions. She needs more viewership. Let's share her videos..Great job
Thank you, Wyn 😊
Well said Wyn. You can clearly tell that a lot of work and thought went into this production.

@@BuildwithAmoaa Hello great job

This is what we need in Ghana. But instead of stuff like this people are using social media for fighting and beefing in Ghana
This is not what is needed in Ghana. The traditional method of building homes is more eco-friendly. Those homes are cooler in the summer and do not require the insulation necessary in container homes. Just because the western countries are doing it doesn't make it great. Many in the west are now learning to build homes with traditional African techniques, and the courses to learn it are thousands for just a week. Africa is ahead of its time, and you guys still dont realize it.
@@loriannrichardson7644 I am talking in terms of the education in it instead of the fight and beef in social media by some Ghanaians....I am not asking anybody to build one..
@@ginobee2000 Everyone operates in a niche. Content doesn't have to be one way, if they all decide to do one thing, do you think you'd enjoy being on social media? Beef kakra, education kakra -- that's what makes the world go round
@@fiifidis7369 hehehe..well the beef is too much oo..
@@loriannrichardson7644
Thanks for this information, Loriann.👍🏼
OMGODdess!!! I love the ingenuity of my AFRICAN people to develop such beautiful housing and I love the in depth coverage about the construction that was well navigated. I love the inquiries presented by you. Please continue doing such good work I love you my Ghanaian family members.
Ghana looks very modern and organized! Would love to visit some day!
hope to see you
I’m Nigerian and was pleasantly shocked when I visited Accra. It was clean and well organized. One thing I will say, Nigerians and Ghanaians are two totally different people. Guamanians are more honesty and caring, and more civilized.
@@xmalcom650 I think that is the difference between nations like Ghana and other areas of the continent, honesty is valued and therefore society and government is less corrupt. No country is perfect, but it's easy to see that Ghana definitely strives to self-preserve and grow.
Modern? You must be in Somalia

This is the best video on shipping containers homes I've seen, so much information in 30 minutes and she asked all the questions I wanted to ask. Thank you!!
ua-cam.com/video/aWteeK54Bss/v-deo.html
This is genius. If Ghana Airbnb was lucrative as it is here in US, I could see people buying a lot of these to rent out.
That is a $250000house in the US.
@Derrick O That's absolutely false. My rentals in Senegal FAR OUTPERFORM my rentals in Ghana. Im from Africa. I have over 25 rentals in West Africa. Senegal is number 1 right now and has a far more developed tourism market. Go and see for yourself.
ua-cam.com/video/aWteeK54Bss/v-deo.html
This is what I have been asking myself if it's going to be possible to have such homes in Ghana. It's an achievement, it's great. Looks beautiful.

Hi, how can I get this man contact as I'm interested in building house with shipping containers. Thanks
Since we IMPORT almost EVERYTHING without shipping back, there are SURPLUS containers at Tema. What happens when Ghana imports LESS and exports more?? I like the ingenuity of Thomas!! Beautiful!
She was my mind. She asked all the questions that I would. Great job.
Insightful, I wish he spoke more about the hidden costs.
yeah I don't like a/c but these places look hot to me
Safety, usability, durability. Real estate content but bars 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂 If real estate doesn't work out I will consider a rap career 😎
Real tho I was feeling the vibes👌🥰🙌

I’m so impressed with this man. Amazing mind
Best real estate youtuber I've seen yet. Very relevant questions.
Host does a very good job keeping the interview flowing and organized. She was not deterred by response that questions have been asked before. Captured important points. Nice job.
ua-cam.com/video/aWteeK54Bss/v-deo.html
I freaking love your videos!! You just gave me a brilliant idea 💡 💕 continue to educate us queen 🙌🏿
These are some of the nicest container homes I have seen. Very professional construction detail and good choices of elevations.
This is perfect and I'm glad he's bringing it to Ghana... People are doing this in the US and they look like mansions. Great mission! 💥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯
This is exactly what I was looking for. I want to build a smaller home for myself and several studios for visiting family and possibly Air B & B as well.
This is great for that! So glad it helps!
@linkzable People are renting AirBnB everyday all over the world. Where have you been? Some people feel safer in an AirbNB than a large hotel.
Question? Can you use this system to build church building
@@matildakallay8528 not ideal because is very compact
@@brianadumensah7157 you can expand your exterior to as wide as you want by cutting out and merging several containers like they did with the 3 in this video. The guy talked about it.
Breath of fresh air
Good job Amoaa

Very interesting and informative!
Amazing work yes it's worth it its beautiful
Glad I found your channel, very informative educative content you got on here
Thank you, Kwame!
If I ever had one I would want my container to show and the big doors on the end to remain it's a great contrast to the build and keeping is a great feature to the house
love the video..... dude sleeping was the highlight though!!!
You have the best channel for relocating to Ghana 🇬🇭 everyone else just pushing a sale and have prices similar to US 🇺🇸 which defeats the purpose of relocating it the prices are similar then people will just say I'll stay with more opportunities if I'm coming with same price
Someone beat me to my idea. Hahaha. I remember working in DHL and thought to myself these shipping containers would make lovely homes - all you need is a place to put them.
As a kid in the 90s I used to see them used as kiosks and houses all the time. I thought it was a poor people thing but now I know better.
There is Always room for improvement and competition
Awesome video, thanks for sharing this information.
Thank you, Edisa
Hi! There is some more contact information available in the description box!
Hi Amoaa, hope you’re good. How do I reach you for business
👍🏿👍🏿😊
I’ll need your contacts so we can relate. Would be glad to have sample pictures of completed projects
Hello Miss Amoaa
Please do you have his phone number, I need to get in contact with him I sent email but no reply and I can't find their page on Facebook.
Hi can I pls have his contact
Great brother keep up
More blessings and more contracts 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Great bro I'm doing that in Côte d'ivoire too keep doing .
This was very informative
I drove trucks for 30 yrs and 5 yrs out of that I pulled shipping containers coming off the rails via "trains." The most popular length is 53 ft w/75% being hardwood flooring. They're designed to hold 50, 000 lbs or more. So, 6-53 ft. container/trailers should be enough for a nice size 1 or 2 bdrm house.
Wow, 30 years! That must have been really interesting, Marcus! They convert nicely. Have you seen any turned into homes?
@@BuildwithAmoaa yes in USA and canada people started using them for a small houses
@@nanayaa3804 That's great
@@BuildwithAmoaa Yes, 30 yrs... I'm one of the few Black men that had a "weighers and samplers [specialized] license" allowing me to pick-up raw milk from dairy farms IN calif. [mid 90's].
The only shipping containers I've seen modified into homes were on Y-tube. I'm a firm believer in "recycling" opposed to continuously digging, drilling and cutting into our Earth for more and more tangible resources. It just makes SENSE to re-cycle whenever possible.
@@marcusmaxwell1788 i think these shipping containers are different from CDL type 53footers.
excellent questions
Very interesting and helpful. Very smart way of living and Less expensive
You're very articulate and I love your choice of questions. You remind me of me and based on that I just subscribed to your channel😊😊. Great job!
