Logistics

Construction Material Delivery in Zanzibar

Material that arrives on the wrong day costs as much as material that never arrives. Build Hub delivers building supplies across Unguja on a planned schedule tied to the construction programme, not to whichever truck happens to be free.

How delivery is planned

At order stage we agree what is needed, when it is needed on site, and what the site can physically receive. Those three questions decide the delivery plan. A congested Stone Town plot with a narrow approach is a different logistics problem from an open development site with room to stockpile, even for the identical material list.

For phased projects we schedule call-off deliveries against the programme, so the site holds a working stock instead of a yard full of material absorbing damage and getting in the way of the works.

What we deliver

Concrete blocks — 4, 6 and 8 inch
Interlocking pavers
Sand, aggregate, crusher dust and hardcore by the load

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you deliver across the whole of Zanzibar?

We deliver across Unguja. Confirm the site location in your quote request and delivery arrangements will be set out in the quotation.

Can deliveries be phased across a project?

Yes. Call-off delivery against your programme is the normal arrangement for phased and larger projects.

What does delivery cost?

Delivery is quoted per order because it depends on location, quantity and access. It is confirmed in writing in the quotation, not estimated verbally.

What if my site has restricted access?

Tell us at order stage. Access, turning space and off-loading arrangements are confirmed before dispatch so a load is not turned away at the gate.
