The construction industry in Ghana is booming, with new housing projects, office complexes, and infrastructure developments driving demand for quality building materials. For contractors, real estate developers, and even individuals working on private projects, sourcing these materials efficiently—and paying for them securely is a top priority.

One challenge international buyers often face is how to order building materials in Ghana and pay in USD. Many suppliers operate locally in Ghanaian Cedi, making it difficult for overseas clients to manage payments directly. That’s where Wigmore Trading steps in, offering a trusted platform to streamline procurement and simplify international payments.

Why International Buyers Choose Ghana for Building Materials

Ghana has positioned itself as a key hub for construction materials in West Africa. The country imports and distributes everything from:

• Cement and concrete products

• Steel and iron rods

• Roofing sheets and tiles

• Electrical and plumbing supplies

• Paints, finishes, and fittings

International buyers from the UK, USA, Canada, and beyond—turn to Ghana’s market because of:

• Competitive prices compared to other regions

• Proximity to major construction projects in West Africa

• A growing network of suppliers with global reach

However, sourcing directly can be complex if you’re abroad. That’s where having a reliable partner like Wigmore Trading makes the difference.

The Payment Challenge: USD vs. Cedi

Many foreign contractors and investors prefer to pay in USD for convenience and exchange rate stability. Yet, most suppliers in Ghana conduct business in the local Cedi, which can cause:

• Currency conversion losses when making payments

• Delays in processing due to bank restrictions

• Complex negotiations with suppliers unfamiliar with international banking

This payment gap often frustrates international buyers who simply want a smooth, transparent process.
