How DHP works

One journey from brief to keys — with escrow at every step

Built for diaspora clients who need clarity on cost, payments, and site progress without flying to Ghana every month.

The build journey

Every project follows the same stages. You always see where you are on your dashboard timeline.

1
Dream Home brief
Describe land, layout, style, and budget (10–15 minutes).
2
Cost estimate
DHP prepares a transparent line-item breakdown — typically within 48 hours.
3
Review & accept
Verify identity, review scope snapshot, and accept the estimate.
4
Land & mobilization
Surveys, acquisition support, and site setup with progress updates.
5
Build phases
Milestone-funded construction with photo updates from your PM.
6
QA & snagging
Independent inspector sign-off on quality checkpoints.
7
Handover
Final walkthrough, documentation, and keys.
8
Complete
Project closed; satisfaction feedback welcome.

DHP uses milestone-based escrow. You never pay builders directly — and funds are not released without verified work.

Step 1
Accept your estimate
Payment milestones are created automatically — Deposit first, then construction phases.
Step 2
Pay DHP directly
Bank transfer or mobile money to DHP using the instructions in your dashboard. Builders are not paid cash on site by you.
Step 3
Finance confirms each payment
Upload proof; our finance team confirms within 1–2 business days and allocates funds to milestones.
Step 4
Work unlocks when funded
Site work tied to a milestone can proceed once that bucket reaches its funding threshold.
Step 5
Escrow releases to trade partners
DHP releases funds to verified artisans only after evidenced work and internal approval — never on request alone.

Coordinates intake, estimates, site updates, and trade partners on your build.

Confirms your payments, manages escrow, and releases funds when work is evidenced.

QA sign-off at key checkpoints — separate from the construction team.

Artisans onboarded with documentation and tiered governance — paid by DHP, not by you on site.

Our sample estimate shows the line-item breakdown, fee disclosure, and milestone plan clients see after intake — no account required.
