Trade safely
Four rules for construction deals
- Ask for test certificates.A mill test certificate for steel, a test report for cement and the grade or standard (ASTM, BS, EN) in writing.
- Approve a sample first.Especially for tiles, stone and plywood, where colour and finish vary by batch.
- Check container limits.Heavy goods hit the weight limit before the space limit. Agree the load per container before you pay.
- Inspect before shipment.A pre-shipment inspection costs little compared to a container of the wrong grade.
About this market
Trading construction & building materials on Global Trade Plaza
1,095 buy requirements and 11,728 products are listed in this industry, with the most requirements for steel, cement, tiles. Recent buyers come from Egypt, India, Spain, United States, Germany.
Construction materials are bought by grade and standard: cement by strength class, steel bars by grade and diameter, tiles and stone by size, finish and thickness. Heavy goods such as cement and steel usually reach the container weight limit before the space limit, so freight decides a large part of the landed cost.
Ask for a mill or test certificate, approve a sample for tiles and stone, and agree an inspection before loading. The metal prices on this page come from the World Bank and help you see where steel inputs such as iron ore are heading.
