Relax don’t go anywhere because am bringing you the essentials through this article.
First of all, what is cement? Cement is a binder.
That is, a building material that is used in construction to bind other building materials together.
In the construction industry, cement sets, hardens and adheres to other materials and these properties enable its purposes.
When cement is mixed with fine or smooth aggregate of sand, produces what is called mortar but when its mixed with gravels in addition to sand, produces concrete.
However, there are varieties of cement.
In Ghana, the common ones are; GHACEM, Dangote, CIMAF, and others. This arises basically as a result of the work at hand and also the building contractor’s choice.
That means each variety has its own unique purpose.
I will take you through the cement prices in Ghana and the various types available.
