Different materials Used in the Construction Industry

A person needs to make sure that during any construction activity, there is a regular involvement of the local area officer appointed by the government, who will supervise the project for that society. None of the points related to the project, or the proceedings of the project should be hidden from him, as it would be turned illegal if the above does not take place. Various builders are taken into consideration, post which they send their proposal, along with the entire plan which includes the layout plan, how much raw materials they can supply like marine ply and the percentage increase which they would like to propose. The best builder is selected after lots of meetings and discussions among the committee members.

Here are some materials which are highly popular and mostly used in the Construction Activities of Kenya: 

Prefab Wall Panels: 
A prefab wall panel is single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a rectangular shape, which serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall. Use of wall panels can reduce construction costs by providing a consistent appearance to the paneled surface without requiring the application of paint or another finishing material.

Prefab Houses:
These homes, are specialist dwelling types of prefabricated building, which are manufactured off-site in advance, usually in standard sections that can be easily shipped and assembled. Some of the top construction companies work with the leading Chinese pre-fabricated house manufacturers.

Marine Ply:
The feature of this type of plywood that many people worry about is that it may be more expensive than the other varieties. Marine plywood is waterproof and there are some good companies that sell this material at affordable rates. The reason marine ply is more expensive than other varieties is because it is treated with a special chemical that keeps the material safe from the threat of water.

Vehicle:
Vehicles like three wheelers, trucks, backhoe loaders, forklifts are the most popular vehicles used in the construction industry. There are companies who are primarily involved in assembling trucks and other vehicles related to construction.

Security doors are another material which is widely manufactured by companies in Kenya. Door security relates to prevention of door-related burglaries. Such break-ins take place in various forms, and in a number of locations; ranging from front, back and side doors to garage doors.

MDF Wood:
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF), a denser version of plywood, is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.

Tiles: 
Tiles is also a popular material in Kenya, Some of the companies import tiles from China, and sell it under their label.
