💡 BUYING TIPS

Buy cement in bulk (≥100 bags) to get 5–10% discount from dealers
Iron rods & roofing: buy in dry season (Oct–Mar) when demand is lower
Always test blocks — a standard block should not crack when dropped from waist height
Get at least 3 supplier quotes; prices vary by up to 20% across suppliers
Factor in haulage costs — delivery can add 5–15% to material costs in rural areas
