In the wake of recent structural failures of buildings in Ghana – costing lives of persons, property and resources of developers – there is a need for everyone to be very conscious of what goes into your building project; whether you build it yourself or have someone build for you.
A recap of literature between 2010 and 2016 shows Ghana recorded 15 structural failures across the country; resulting in 35 losses of precious human lives and property, and over 1,000 causalities according to Creative Commons Attribution International (2018). Mention is not made of data before 2010 and after 2016. To correct this anomaly in the system, the founder and CEO of 66 Engineering Limited, Mr. Daniel Kontie, speaking at the website launch programme said over the years he has been an advocate promoting and creating awareness on the importance of building right, and helping state institutions enforce the laws on adherence to best practices and the principles of sound structural integrity.
Taking this agenda to another dimension in the year 2020, he decided to form a team of top-notch civil engineers and industry experts in building and construction – which led to the execution of several building projects across the length and breadth of the national capital, Accra. Early this year, he deemed it fit to formalise operations of the team; hence the birth of 66 Engineering Limited.
As our slogan posits ‘bringing imagination to reality’, we do everything construction: from conceptualisation to architectural drawings, construction to finishing off all building projects… be it commercial or residential. We employ state of the art architectural and construction technologies: such as BIM for architectural designs and drawings, Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge tools and standards to ensure high structural integrity as well as eco-friendliness while cutting cost considerably. This gives our clients value for money and saves a whole nation from losing lives every year through structural failures.
The other wing of our services is supplying all varieties of building and construction materials in Accra and beyond. We supply concrete blocks at 4”, 5”, 6” and 8”, both solid and hollow, across Accra. Others include, iron rods, galvanised steel pipes and wire meshes, U-channels, balustrades, roofing sheets, marine boards, latrite (gravels for filling), quarry chippings, river and pit sand, cylindrical concrete pipes-reinforced and non-reinforced, culverts, U-drains, jersey barriers, pavement blocks, concrete slabs, quartzite stones, marble and deco stones for cladding, sale of heavy-duty equipment and rentals, cement of all brands et cetera. We also undertake renovation/building projects, et cetera.
We are currently ranked among the top five (5) construction companies in Ghana, having entered the industry just for a few years ago. We are calling on all Ghanaians – particularly those living in the diaspora who are sending money home for family and friends to build, only to come home and realise that there isn’t any house anywhere built for them – to visit us. We will agree on something, and your project will be done for you in compliance with all industry and international best practices and quality standards. You can always count on us.
Our doors are also open to welcome investors who believe and want to invest in us, as plans are underway to acquire and install our concrete products manufacturing plant, already mixed concrete manufacturing plant etc.
