Quantities, brands and buying tips
Quantities and mix design
| Work | Cement |
|---|---|
| 1 m³ reinforced concrete (350 kg/m³) | ≈ 7 bags |
| 1 m³ blinding concrete (250 kg/m³) | ≈ 5 bags |

| 1 m² render (1.5 cm) | ≈ 0.1 bag |
Common brands in Cameroon
The most widely available cements are Cimencam (Dangote group), Dangote Cement and CIMAF (Mira), in classes CEM II 32.5 R and 42.5. Use 42.5 for load-bearing concrete; 32.5 is fine for mortar and render.
Buying tips
- Check the bagging date: cement degrades within weeks in humidity.
- Compare the delivered price: transport can add 300–800 FCFA per bag by distance.
- Store dry, on a pallet, off the ground and out of the rain.
