What we can bring to your site
Most site deliveries are a pickup truck job. A standard pickup carries roughly a tonne, which covers most cement, POP, tile, and fittings orders, and smaller block deliveries. For bigger orders, we tell you upfront how many trips it takes, or quote a larger truck.
Tell us where the materials are coming from, whether that's a cement depot, a block industry, or a hardware shop, and where they're going. If you've already paid the supplier, send the receipt or order number so the driver can collect without waiting around.

Why builders book us for materials
Checked at your site
The load is checked against your order when it arrives, so missing bags or broken blocks are spotted before the truck leaves.
Loaded to arrive intact
Heavy bags go in flat and low, blocks are packed tight so they can't shift, and we plan around the weather so cement doesn't arrive wet.
Planned around site access
Tell us about a narrow road, a muddy approach, or a gate that's locked after 6pm, and we plan the drop before the truck sets off.
How much fits in one pickup
These are rough guides for a standard pickup carrying about a tonne. Block weights come from Dutum Group's guide to Nigerian block sizes, and POP is usually sold in 40kg bags, according to Business Post. Real numbers depend on the product and how damp it is, so we confirm before you book.
- Cement (50kg bags): about 20 bags
- POP (40kg bags): about 25 bags
- 9-inch hollow blocks (20–25kg each): about 40 to 50 blocks
- 6-inch blocks (13–22kg each): about 50 to 70 blocks
- Tiles, paint, and fittings: usually one trip for a room or two
Moving iron rods safely and legally
Iron rods are sold in 12-metre lengths, about five times the length of a pickup bed. A 12mm rod weighs about 10.7kg and a 16mm rod about 19kg, according to Finelib, so weight is rarely the problem. Length is.
Under the FRSC's penalty schedule, as WithinNigeria reports, a load that sticks out beyond the legal limit is an offence even when it carries a red flag, and the FRSC has stepped up enforcement against overloading nationwide. Some drivers bend rods to fit, but many engineers won't accept bent reinforcement. Tell us the sizes and number of lengths, and we'll confirm a vehicle long enough to carry them straight, or ask your supplier to cut them to the lengths you need.
Keep your cement dry on site
Cement starts losing quality once it gets damp. JK Cement, like most manufacturers, puts its shelf life at about three months. Have a dry, covered spot ready before the truck arrives.
- Keep bags off the ground, on planks or pallets
- Stack no more than about 10 bags high
- Cover the stack if it has to sit outside
- Use the oldest bags first
Getting blocks there in one piece
Sandcrete blocks reach full strength about 28 days after they're made, and fresh blocks break more easily on the road. Ask your block maker how old the blocks are before they're loaded. The Nigerian standard for sandcrete blocks, NIS 87, sets minimum strengths for load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, as Structville explains, and studies have found many commercial blocks fall short, so buy from a maker you trust.
Agree with your supplier how breakages are handled before loading. Count at loading, count again at drop-off, and note any broken blocks on the spot.
Plan your deliveries around the rains
According to the 2026 Flood Guide for Akwa Ibom State, the heaviest rains in Akwa Ibom come around July to September. Unpaved site roads turn to mud, and a loaded truck can get stuck short of the gate. If your site road is unpaved, tell us when you book, and we'll plan the drop for a dry window or agree a firm spot where we can offload safely.

Common questions before you book
Can you collect from my supplier?
Yes. Send the supplier's name and address, plus your receipt or order number if you've paid. The driver collects and checks the load against your order.
How many blocks fit in one trip?
About 40 to 50 nine-inch blocks in a standard pickup. For bigger orders, we plan several trips or quote a larger truck.
Can you carry full-length iron rods?
Tell us the sizes and number of lengths. Full 12-metre rods need a long vehicle, so we confirm the right truck before you book, or your supplier can cut them to length.
Do you deliver sand and granite?
Sand and granite usually move by tipper, sold by the load. Tell us what you need and we'll tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Who offloads at the site?
The driver helps offload, as with every truck booking. For large block orders, tell us when you book so we can plan enough hands.
