Cement
Cement is one of the most widely used building materials in the modern world and nearly six billion tonnes of this very important commodity is produced every year. Cement is the main ingredient used in the production of blocks which are the single most used items in building and construction work.
Cement is the main ingredient used in the production of blocks which are the single most used items in building and construction work.
It is combined with aggregates (sand, gravel and stones) to make concrete and used as slurry for filling cracks in all kinds of structures. It is also used for masonry work, plastering and pointing. This versatile capability allows cement to be used in all kinds of structures including buildings, bridges. dams, docks, harbours and roads.

Wood
Wood is one of the oldest and most commonly used building/construction materials in the world. Despite the growing threat of deforestation, wood has remained in high demand as a building material because of its reasonable cost, availability, attractive appearance and long life (if protected from insects and moisture). Wood used in building and construction work is commonly referred to as timber (or ‘lumber’ in the US and Canada).

Aggregates
Aggregates are raw earth materials which have been used since prehistoric times in building and construction. Aggregates fall into two broad categories – coarse aggregates (such as crushed stones, gravel, pebbles, and granite) and fine aggregates (usually sand and clay). In modern construction work, aggregates are combined with cement to produce concrete and mortar. Using aggregates gives volume, stability, resistance to wear or erosion, and other desired physical properties to all kinds of structures – buildings, bridges, roads etc

Roofing materials
All buildings (especially houses) usually have a roof over them. Roofing materials form the outermost layer on the roof of a building and provides shelter from the natural elements (wind, sunlight and rain) and insulation against heat and cold.
Commercially available roofing materials can range from corrugated iron and aluminum, clay tiles, plastic, fiberglass and concrete.

Steel & Metal products
Steel and metal products are widely used in building and construction. Steel is commonly used to make reinforced concrete that supports structures in buildings, bridges, dams etc.
Steel is made up of iron combined with a small percentage of carbon.
High-carbon or ‘hard’ steel is used to make tools with cutting edges.
Medium- carbon steel is used for critical structural components of buildings such as I-beams, reinforcing bars and frames.
Low- carbon or ‘mild’ steel is used for pipes, nails, screws, door and window hinges, wire, screening, fencing and corrugated roofing sheets.
Metals such as aluminum and copper have become popular building materials due to their ability to resist rust and corrosion.

Electrical materials and accessories
Electrical materials are the parts and elements used in the electrical system of any building and construction project.
This includes a huge inventory of materials used to supply electric power or telecommunications to different parts of a building and will typically consist of: electrical conduits and fittings, wires and cables, explosion proof enclosures, meters, circuit breakers, connectors, and electrical products such as wiring devices (switches, plugs) and lighting (bulbs).

Glass
Glass is fast becoming one of the most preferred materials of modern building architecture.
Clear windows have been used since the invention of glass to cover small openings in buildings and provide us with the ability to both let light into rooms while at the same time keeping undesirable weather outside.
Glass controls light, letting in the good rays and keeping out the bad ones; it also saves on energy costs by providing natural day lighting. As a result, more designers are finding that glass fits quite nicely into today’s green building environment.

Paints
Paints are applied to interior and exterior walls of buildings to make them beautiful, enhance texture and protect from cracks, wear and tear.
There are paints of all colours and types in the market which typically include: emulsions (water-based paints), matte finish, gloss, varnish, enamel and lacquers.
A growing number of local businesses now manufacture paints to compete with dominant foreign brands.
