Ghanaian entrepreneur uses shipping containers to build unique spaces in Ghana, from shop spaces to offices and homes. In this video, we talk with Thomas about building with shipping containers. We discuss the processes, and challenges and answer all the frequently asked questions based on his experience working in this industry for over 7 years. We learn how we can use shipping containers as an alternative construction material for our homes. We also tour his recently completed project, the Kabfam building, where he gives an office tour and a studio space tour.
