Dangote Vs BUA Cement
If you want to build house, you have a choice of choosing between Dangote, BUA and Elephant Supaset Cement. They’re all good choice of cement. BUA and Dangote are high quality cement which are favorites among Nigerian builders and bricklayers.
However, based on my experience, I’ll make the following submissions;
- In terms of block moulding, BUA cement is better. This is so because during block molding when you use lets say 50kg bag of BUA cement to 7 wheelbarrows of sand, it’ll still have that more cement-filled mixture look than when you use Dangote cement in same quantity of sand.
- In terms of Chucking, flooring and plastering, I’ll recommend Dangote because it has proven to be very cohesive and powerful.
- The price of BUA cement is slightly higher than that of Dangote cement.
- Both Dangote and BUA are very powerful and strong cement products in Nigeria
