HOW TO GUIDES & Tips
Kwikbuild Cement was founded in 2011 by five partners.
The very first blending plant was established in Silverton, Pretoria East, as it was ideally located to service the initial target market. At the time, the target market had been identified as Mamelodi, Pretoria East, KwaMhlanga, and Bronkhorstspruit. Since then Kwikbuild has thrived, cementing its place in the South African market by offering its various products and services across the entire Gauteng region, as well as to Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
At Kwikbuild Cement we are people-focused. Our slogan, Siyakha Nawe or “We build with you”, is centred on the principle of unity and of fostering cohesive interpersonal relationships between us and our clients. For this reason we offer a quality product, and service experience. In fact, our excellent service is one of the things our clients love most about us.
We have recently expanded, opening a new blending plant in Kya Sands, Johannesburg. This new location has allowed Kwikbuild to service the client markets established in the North-West and Free State, as well as the northern, western and eastern suburbs of Gauteng.
Kwikbuild Cement has fast become a leading cement blender in South Africa, producing a 32,5N of cement of the highest quality, that also complies with rigorous SABS standards.
Trust builds teamwork, collaboration, and ethical decision-making. Our business is built on trust - trust in each other, trust from our customers, and trust in the company as a whole. HONOUR and INTEGRITY are the foundation of trust. "We say what we do, and we do what we say." We don’t let each other down, and we always go the extra mile. We value the trust placed in us and extend that same trust in return. Top management operates with MAXIMUM transparency, ensuring employees have easy access to information and decision-making within the normal boundaries of personal and trade privacy. Around here, we do what’s right - even when no one is watching.
We recognise that we operate within a BROADER COMMUNITY that includes multiple stakeholders: the immediate communities where we work and live, our families, staff, shareholders, customers, suppliers, and, most importantly, our environment. We believe that healthy, balanced, and JOYOUS FAMILIES are the cornerstone of a thriving and productive society. We are committed to ensuring work-life balance for all employees and fostering a positive, encouraging, and flexible workplace that accommodates both professional and personal responsibilities. Around here, we show up for each other - in work, in life, and in our community.
We believe that merit should be recognised and rewarded. Every employee who demonstrates COMMITMENT, hard work, COMPETENCE, and ability will have the OPPORTUNITY to advance. This drives healthy competition, accountability, and workplace effectiveness. Around here, we keep raising the bar - together.
Respect is the foundation of strong relationships, teamwork, and a positive workplace. True respect goes beyond words - it is DEMONSTRATED through our actions, how we TREAT EACH OTHER, and how we listen. We are committed to creating an environment where every individual is valued, heard, and treated with dignity. Around here, people respect each other, their opinions, and the space we share.
At every level of our business, we strive for ethnic, racial, gender, and cultural diversity, fostering a COLLABORATIVE atmosphere of creativity, curiosity, fun, inclusivity, simplicity, innovation, freedom, responsibility, action, and ethical behaviour. Around here, everyone has a voice, and every voice counts.
We value and respect all life on Earth, recognising that without a healthy, sustainable environment, none of our stakeholders can FUNCTION AND THRIVE. It is our collective responsibility to care for and protect the natural world. Our primary goal is to operate with full AWARENESS of our environmental IMPACT, ensuring that we produce the highest-quality products with the lowest possible ecological footprint. Around here, we make things better - not just for today, but for the future.
Kwikbuild’s very first bag of cement was produced in August 2011. Its success and growth have been rapid, and Kwikbuild Cement has since become a formidable competitor in the cement industry. Since the company’s inception the founders have continually reinvested in the business, resulting in state of the art modifications to the plant. Our cutting-edge packaging equipment has increased Kwikbuild’s production capacity to 750 000 tons of product per annum.
Kwikbuild Cement produces a range of products that include Kwikbuild 32.5N CEM V/B (S-V) & 42.5N CEM V/A (S-V), General purpose cement, a full range of tile adhesives, as well as the complete supporting range of products; Kwikscreed, Kwikgrout, Kwikflex, Kwikbond & Kwikprime.
Kwikbuild Cement’s clients range from civils, construction companies and developers to the major hardware chains, wholesale suppliers, traders and bakkie builders.
At the foundation of the success of Kwikbuild Cement is the fact that we have always endeavoured to produce products of the highest quality and we are 100% committed to never compromise on the integrity of our brand. As part of this process, we have set up a SANAS-accredited building materials testing laboratory at our Silverton production facility. This gives us far greater control over the quality of our products and the ability to take more proactive steps to ensure all our products meet industry standards.
Pure cements have various chemical properties that can be significantly affected when extended with various extenders and the many additives available can do much to improve cement performance. Depending on the type of application, weather conditions and the quality of the other building materials used on site, not all cement’s perform equally. With our own state of the art testing facility, we are able to continuously monitor the performance of our products in compliance with SANS 50197-1:2013 and can assist our customers in testing of their various sand types if required.
The members of Kwikbuild Cement also own and operate their own transport company, Summit Trucking, which handles the in-bound delivery of all our raw bulk materials as well as the distribution of our finished product to our customers. We believe much of our success can be contributed to the close relationship between the two entities as it affords us the ability to offer flexible, timely and cost effective deliveries greatly enhancing our customer service as well as ensuring an un-interrupted supply for our production capacity.
Kwikbuild Cement will remain focused on its core business and target markets, will continue to strive for excellence through continuous re-investment, the improvement of our business processes and the enhancement of our products and service quality. We will continue to explore and source strategic partnerships with key suppliers and most important of all, ensure to continually enhance value for our current and future customers.
Our vision is to empower people, to make a positive impact in the communities they are a part of.
