For the diaspora
Building your home in Ghana from abroad
Whether you're building a family home, finishing a retirement house, or upgrading the place your parents already live in, you don't need to be standing in Ghana to get a home lift specified, quoted, and installed properly. Here's how the whole process works when you're managing it from the US, the UK, or anywhere else.
How it works, from a distance
A consultation from wherever you are
We start on a WhatsApp or video call, at a time that suits your timezone — whether that's an evening in London, a lunch break in Houston, or a weekend in Frankfurt. You describe the building, the household, and what you're hoping the lift will do.
We survey the site or the finished home
A team member visits your building site or completed home in Ghana and sends back a full written report with photos, measurements, and recommendations — so you see exactly what we saw, without needing to be there in person.
An all-inclusive, duty-paid quote in USD
You receive one firm number, quoted in US dollars, that already accounts for freight and Ghana import duties. Payment is staged and made by bank transfer from wherever you're based — no need to route funds through a third party.
Shipping and installation, with updates as it happens
Shipping to Tema typically takes about 8–14 weeks, and installation on-site takes 2–5 working days once the lift arrives. You get photo and video updates through each stage, so the distance never means being kept in the dark.
Handover, backed by a local team
Once commissioning is complete, your family in Ghana can start using the lift immediately, with our local after-sales team on hand for servicing and support — no need to fly back for routine maintenance.
Why a lift belongs in the plan
Parents living in the home right now
If parents or older relatives already live in the house you're building or renovating, a lift removes stairs as a daily obstacle from day one, rather than becoming a retrofit project later.
Future-proofing your own retirement
Many diaspora clients are building the home they plan to retire into. Installing a lift during the build means the house is ready for you decades from now, without construction disruption later in life.
Resale and rental value
A home with an installed lift stands out in the Ghanaian property market, whether you eventually sell, rent it out, or hand it down — it signals a house built with long-term comfort in mind.
Who you're dealing with
Buying from abroad means trusting people you may never meet in person before the lift is installed. Here's what stands behind that trust.
- A registered Ghanaian company, not a fly-in agent
- A physical presence in Accra, with a local team you can call
- Backed by Nibav's global network across Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa
- A comprehensive Nibav manufacturer warranty, confirmed in writing with your quote
