He builds affordable homes in Ghana using rammed earth | Real Estate in Ghana | Sustainable homes

Video Description

Ghanaian firm, Kasa Konsultants uses rammed earth to build affordable homes in Ghana. In this video, we talk with the daring Peace Obeng Appau, director of Kasa Konsultants about building with rammed earth in Ghana: the product, process and everything in between. We learn how we can use rammed earth as an alternative construction material for our homes. Kasa Konsultants have been building for 6 years but switched to solely building with rammed earth in 2019 because of the affordability, sustainability, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. We showcase some of their projects; 5 of which are solo projects and 3 others that were built with external partners.
