Ghanaian architectural and construction firm, Spektra Global, has delivered a landmark project in the heart of Accra with the completion of “Insurance House”, a modern office complex built for the Ghana Insurers Association (GIA).

Located at Kanda, the three-storey structure with a single basement covers about 1,750 square metres and now houses both the GIA and the Ghana National Bureau of the ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme.

While the project adds a major commercial asset to Accra’s business district, it is Spektra’s focus on sustainability, traffic flow, and climate-smart design that is drawing attention.

According to William Evans Halm, CEO of Spektra Global, the design and construction process was anchored on environmental and traffic impact assessments, with special attention given to health and safety protocols.

“We did a solar study of the building from 7 am to 4 pm to see how the sun impacts the building and mitigate the heat,” he said at the commissioning ceremony.

“It wasn’t just about putting up a building—it was about ensuring that it sits responsibly within its environment.”

The firm assessed pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns in the Kanda enclave to minimise congestion.

The goal, Mr Halm noted, was to deliver not just a landmark structure, but one that functions harmoniously within the urban fabric.

Spektra also developed a Health and Safety Management Plan to ensure safe working conditions throughout the construction phase and guide future building operations.

These design choices were aligned with modern sustainability practices, including passive cooling, solar impact mitigation, and efficient spatial usage.

Commissioned on Friday by Dr Abiba Zakariah, the Commissioner of Insurance, the building features a banking hall, lounges, conference rooms, offices, a restaurant, and a rooftop terrace, offering a centralised space for Ghana’s insurance sector.

Dr Zakariah hailed the new Insurance House as a “symbol of unity”, adding that it stood as a testament to the collective will and endurance of an industry that once worked in silos.

“There were funding challenges, competing priorities, bureaucratic hurdles… but this building stands because of a collective perseverance,” she said.

Seth Aklasi, President of the GIA, said the goal was to create a visible, accessible hub for all insurance-related services in Ghana.

“Anybody who comes here should know that whether it’s a complaint or an enquiry, this is the place to come.”

Mr Halm also used the opportunity to advocate for disciplined budgeting in construction projects, noting that inflation and material price shocks can derail progress if developers do not plan for adjustments.

“Have a budget,” he advised. “You can always re-scope to stay on track.”
