Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The consultation and the quotation are both free. You pay nothing until you have seen our proposal and signed a contract.

The type of project, where the site is, roughly how big it is, what stage you are at (an idea, drawings, a permit or a bill of quantities) and when you want to start. The quote builder on this site asks for exactly that.

If you have drawings or a bill of quantities, send them to info@williotce.com or on WhatsApp after you send the request.

Yes. We price and build from your drawings, and tell you before we quote if anything is missing, such as structural or services drawings.

A bill of quantities (BoQ) lists every material and piece of work in a project, measured from the drawings. It lets you compare quotes like for like and check what you are paying for. We prepare one with every quotation.

In Ghana, new buildings and most extensions need a building permit from the metropolitan, municipal or district assembly before work starts. We prepare the drawings and documents the assembly asks for and support the application, which is made in the land owner's name.

We ask to see the land documents before we build, because a permit needs them. Checking title is the job of a lawyer or the Lands Commission, and we recommend you have it done before you commit to building.

Payment stages are set out in the contract before any work starts, and linked to milestones on site, so you pay for work as it is done. Every payment term is agreed in writing.

We report to you at each milestone with photos, and you can visit the site by arrangement. Clients abroad get the same reports by email or WhatsApp.

We quote in Ghana cedis (GHS) unless the contract says otherwise. The currency is always stated on the quotation.

We walk through the finished work with you, clear any snags, and hand over the keys with a handover file: the drawings as built, test results, and manuals and warranties for the systems installed.

It is a period after handover, set in your contract, during which we come back and put right any defects in our work at no cost to you.

We are based in Greater Accra and our work so far has been mainly in Ghana. Tell us where your site is and we will tell you how we would run it.

Yes. Our tipper trucks are hired with a driver, and we hire out construction equipment and scaffolding. Rates are on request: send us the equipment, the site and the dates.

Use the Work With Us page. We never charge a fee to register as a supplier or subcontractor, or to receive tender documents.

Our emails come only from @williotce.com addresses, and we never change our bank details by email. The Verify WCE page lists our official contacts and how to check a letter, a staff ID or a job offer.
