About Nairobi Concrete Solutions
We supply ready-mix concrete, aggregates and precast across Nairobi and the construction corridors around it, from Karen and Westlands out to Athi River, Ruiru and Kitengela.
We are a supplier, not a contractor
That distinction matters more than it sounds. We sell you concrete in the drum, to a stated class, with a ticket that proves what it is. We do not place it, and we do not quote as though we do, which is why our rates and a contractor's rates for the same Class 25 are different numbers and should never be compared directly.
It also means we have no reason to talk you into a higher class than your engineer specified, or a bigger load than your pour needs.
How we work
- Batched to a stated class, with the ticket handed over at the pour rather than promised afterwards.
- Volume calculated from your drawings with a realistic allowance, because running short gives you a cold joint you cannot repair.
- Access assessed before booking. Gate height, culvert capacity and verge condition are checked while there is still time to plan a pump.
- Delivery intervals set from the actual haul at the hour of the pour, not from a nominal distance.
- Aggregates quoted per tonne with the vehicle payload stated, so quotes can be compared at all.
- Staged payments with an M-Pesa receipt at each stage.
What we will tell you
That a small pour is usually cheaper from a volumetric truck than as a surcharged part load. That your Lavington foundation will probably take more concrete than the drawing says, and your Kitengela one less. That we will not put a loaded mixer on a Runda internal road posted below its weight, however much easier that would make the day.
And that if we cannot supply a structural pour continuously, we would rather move it than start it and leave you with a joint through the middle of a slab.
Credentials, and what to ask any supplier
Our registration, insurance cover and the terms we work to go out in writing with the quotation, before anything is delivered.
Ask any concrete supplier three things: whether you get a batch ticket showing the class, what the minimum load and the part-load surcharge are, and how long the free discharge window is before waiting time is charged. Quotes that look identical routinely differ by a great deal on the third question, and it is the one nobody thinks to ask until a truck is sitting on their access road with the clock running.
