Foundations and walls use three main materials: cement, steel reinforcement and blocks, together with sand and ballast for the concrete and mortar.
The quantities depend on the plan, so the best way to buy is from a bill of quantities. It tells you how much of each item the drawings need.
Order in stages rather than all at once. Cement should be stored dry and off the ground, and steel should be kept clean and covered.
If you do not have a list yet, our cost calculator gives a rough materials estimate for a house of your size. Send us the plan and we will prepare a proper list and quote.
