The competitive construction market demands quality results – first time around – to keep clients happy and business profitable. Gauteng-based contractor Probuild has its own proprietary quality management software to make sure this happens.

The quality management software comes out of 25 years of experience in the industry. The system uses‘ electronic tickets’ that are generated on a tablet computer as each parcel of work is completed – so a foreman can check each completed piece of work by a bricklayer, for example, by ticking off the items against the quality of the job being measured.

Giving concrete a minimum strength of 30MPa in just two days is the key advantage of AfriSam’ s Rapid Hard Cement product, allowing concrete product manufacturers( CPMs) quicker turnaround times and confidence from one batch to the next.

The cement is the result of significant research and development to ensure that it meets the demands of CPMs. In addition to precast concrete, the strength makes this cement brand ideal for post-tensioned and pre-stressed members and allows for earlier stripping of formwork.

The product is finer than other cements, which means an increased rate of hydration.
