Steel & Reinforcement
Steel Supplier in Zanzibar
Build Hub supplies construction steel in Zanzibar, procured against the bar bending schedule or BOQ rather than sold off a generic price list — because on steel, the schedule is the specification.
Quote from the schedule, not from a guess
Steel is the line item where estimating error costs the most, in both directions: order short and the pour stops, order long and expensive material sits corroding in the salt air. Sending us the bar bending schedule or the reinforcement drawings lets us quote to the actual diameters, lengths and quantities.
Where the schedule is not yet issued, we can quote provisionally against the BOQ and firm it up once the details are released.
Storage in a coastal environment
Steel delivered to a Zanzibar site should be stacked clear of the ground, kept off contaminated fill and covered where it will stand for any length of time. Light surface rust is normal and generally acceptable; flaking or pitted corrosion is not, and it starts faster here than inland.

Questions
Frequently asked
What information do you need to quote steel?
Ideally the bar bending schedule or reinforcement drawings. Failing that, the BOQ lines with diameters and quantities so we can price accurately.
Do you supply mesh as well as bar?
Yes — reinforcement mesh, bar and binding wire are supplied together against the same schedule.
Can steel be delivered in phases?
Yes, and on coastal sites it is usually better: phased delivery against the pour programme keeps less steel exposed on site.
