ABOUT KIRKWOOD CONCRETE
Taking over a small premises in the quaint town of Kirkwood at the end of 2015, we adapted the premises and opened our doors in March 2016.

All our products are strictly manufactured with 42.5 strength cement, and quartzitic stone aggregate. Not making use of an automated system results in more manual labour, thus creating employment within the community. We are currently listed suppliers to the following leading groups: CashBuild SA/P&L Hardware, Build-It/Spar and Die Humansdorp Koöperasie Group. We are a registered VAT vendor.
SO WHY OPT FOR CONCRETE?
Over the years, concrete has been proven to be a very durable option for builders and civil engineers, and withstands any weather conditions. It is very cost effective and manufactured through natural processes, thus becoming the preferred method of building in many parts of Asia, Europe and the USA. The reasoning behind this is also due to the fact that foundations are poured with concrete, thus building with concrete blocks enables the foundation and the erected structure to expand/contract and move more in harmony with earth movement and fluctuating climate temperatures.

Probably the "real boy next door" of concrete blocks, the M6 is the most popular in the concrete family, and well known for large storage rooms, pack houses and RDP/low cost housing. Due to the size, the M6 increases the pace of the building process, making sure you meet your deadlines! It is also a cost effective product to use.
