FAQs
How is your concrete delivered?

Why do you use a barrow mixer instead of a standard cement mixer?

This is especially useful for smaller construction projects or tasks that must be completed in tight quarters. It is made under controlled environments with premium materials, ensuring a high-quality result. What’s more, using ready mix concrete saves time and is more cost effective.
