The construction industry in Ghana is continously increasing, valued some $9 billion according to a report published recently by the Oxford Business Group (“What will drive construction activity in Ghana?”). Having proved to be more resilient than feared during the Corona crisis, the construction industry is expected to develop rapidly in the area of cost and achieving advance technologies. The use of precast concrete technology has been embraced by the experts of construction industry in Ghana. Ghanaian construction professionals prefer the use of precast concrete construction mainly because of low life cycle cost, reduction of on-site waste, speed of construction, and quality of work done.
The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) is promoting actively precast construction to the industry. It is also mandated to ensure that building materials including precast products manufactured in Ghana, for the building and construction industry, meet optimum requirements and specifications, therefore, high-quality production equipment is inescapable.

The construction industry in Ghana is booming and precast is getting more and more into the focus. Precast construction is attractive both for private and public projects; i.e. railway and road construction, airports, infrastructure and urbanization in general with office and housing projects. It is now the perfect time to promote best practice with precast in Ghana and surrounding and thus benefitting from the prosperous economy.
