Cement is one of the few building materials where price differences compound fast - a few hundred shillings per bag adds up quickly across a full construction job. Here's what four tracked suppliers were charging for a standard 50kg bag:
| Supplier | Location | Price |
|---|---|---|
| ABC Hardware | Nairobi | KSh 760 |
| Buildmart Kenya | Nairobi | KSh 780 |
| Nyeri Hardware Supplies | Nyeri | KSh 795 |
| Mombasa Cement Depot | Mombasa | KSh 810 |
The KSh 50 spread between the cheapest and most expensive tracked supplier is a real gap - on a 100-bag order for a small house, that's KSh 5,000 saved just by comparing before you buy. Location matters too: Nairobi-based suppliers currently undercut Mombasa and Nyeri, likely reflecting transport costs from the main cement plants.
What to check beyond the sticker price
The cheapest listed price isn't always the cheapest delivered price - factor in delivery distance and minimum order quantities before committing to a supplier, especially for a large order where transport cost per bag can shift the comparison.
