Our story

From engineering roots to full-service delivery

GIWU began in 2018 through STAV Engineering, a sister firm with deep roots in mechanical and industrial engineering. What started as an engineering-focused operation grew into a full-service civil construction, structural steel fabrication and prefabricated buildings company, responding to the demands of industrial, logistics and residential projects across Ghana.

In 2024, GIWU Construction and Trading Co. Ltd was formally incorporated as a limited liability company, strengthening its structure and governance to serve a broader range of clients and larger projects. Prefabricated and modular buildings are now delivered through our subsidiary, GIWU Prefab Systems.

The partnership with STAV Engineering gives clients an extended engineering capability for mechanical installation, fabrication and construction supply, all coordinated through one team: one partner, full accountability, no gaps in execution.
