I have a building under construction and would be needing cement that runs into thousands of bags and with this new increments, I might have to suspend work on going at the site except the prices of cement comes down soon.....

Whilst, I wouldn't want to suspend work on my site as I have mobilized all artisans and all is ready except for CEMENT

Where can I get other brands of cement not dangote or elephant, I mean other brands like ibeto, bua, ashaka or even imported "chinko" cement (I'm serious ) pls help a sister before these artisans chop the money way I don pay dem.

Location is Ojodu berger!

Care to elaborate more?

Hello. I would advise you don't skimp on getting "verified" cement. I say verified because you can trace the bagged cement through their despatch numbers and their quality parameters (early strength, later strength, C3S, freelime) in case of any issues during and after application. Getting from other sources is tricky because you can't the quality; and you may not see the effect until further down the line. I can tell because I work in a cement factory. Best advice: Take your time, do your project well. The good Lord will grant you long life and good health to enjoy the fruit of your labour.

Buy few bags at the current price first so the men can start work while you keep searching for the cheaper ones

Since you are getting that high number is there a way of getting it cheaper from the factory without going through the distributor?

Bua cement is very common at south south and environs. Very cheap and far better than dangote. I'm told there's a depot at Apapa
