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 .
