Cement Prices

Check the strength class printed on the bag (for example 32.5 or 42.5). Higher classes are used for structural concrete such as columns, beams and slabs; lower classes are fine for plastering and blockwork mortar. Follow your engineer's specification.

Steel Reinforcement Bars, BRC Mesh and Binding Wire

"R" bars are plain round mild steel (R6 = 6 mm, R8 = 8 mm, R10 = 10 mm) and are mostly used for rings (stirrups) in columns and beams. BRC is a welded steel mesh laid in ground-floor slabs, driveways and water tanks. Your structural drawings say which bars and mesh to use.

DPM and Polythene

A damp-proof membrane (DPM) is laid under the floor slab, on top of the compacted hardcore and sand blinding, to stop ground moisture rising into the floor.

Plywood, Block Board and Doors

The steel security doors from Lets Construct come with frames, locks, a central lock, a peephole and 5 keys.
