For contractors working with mortar, concrete and precast elements, managing setting times is important for keeping projects moving.

SpeedSet Accelerator is a high performance, chlorinated set accelerator designed for mortar and concrete.

It can help contractors:

• Accelerate setting time to support faster project turnaround.
• Remove precast elements from moulds earlier, where conditions and strength requirements allow.
• Reduce or eliminate drying cycles, improving efficiency.
• Maintain productivity when working in colder conditions.

SpeedSet Accelerator is compatible with all types of cement and is completely miscible in water for easy mixing.

As with any concrete admixture, follow the product instructions and ensure the required strength and handling requirements are met before removing elements from moulds.

We supply specialised construction products that help contractors work more efficiently and get the best out of their materials.

We want our customers to succeed, so we don't just supply construction materials, coatings, tools and equipment. We also offer training sessions to help contractor teams learn how to install the products correctly.

Why does this matter?

For your business:

• Correct application helps reduce avoidable mistakes, material wastage and costly rework.

• Better skills can improve productivity and the quality of your finished work.

• A team that understands the products it works with can help you deliver more consistent results to your clients.

For your employees:

• They gain practical knowledge and valuable skills.

• They become more confident in the work they do.

• They have an opportunity to develop professionally and take on greater responsibility.

When you invest in your team's skills, you're not just improving how the work gets done today. You're helping build a more capable workforce for the future.

We believe that when our customers grow their businesses, everyone benefits.

In construction, delays are not always caused by materials or equipment. Often, productivity losses come from tired teams, poor supervision, or skills being stretched too thin on site.

Fatigue and weak site management don’t usually stop work completely. Instead, they show up as slower progress, more mistakes, and rising frustration, all of which quietly eat into your margins.

Common warning signs include:
• Crews working long hours with little recovery time
• Supervisors spread too thin across multiple sites
• Skilled workers doing unskilled tasks to “keep things moving”
• Increased rework, safety incidents, or absenteeism

Over time, this becomes a real business risk. Projects take longer, quality drops, and client confidence suffers.

A few practical ways contractors can reduce this risk:
• Plan workloads realistically and avoid constant overtime
• Make sure there is clear supervision and accountability on site
• Match skills to tasks instead of relying on the same people for everything
• Invest in basic training so teams work more efficiently and safely

We supply construction materials and equipment to contractors every day, and we’ve seen how much difference a well-managed, properly supported team makes to a project.

Concrete Hardness Tester
Suitable for use with concrete, rock and building materials, this manufacturer-calibrated manual rebound hammer is economical, practical and easy to use.

The concrete quality is judged mainly on the basis of compressive strength. This is due to compressive strength being directly responsible for the structural behaviour and durability of concrete constructions.

In construction, your people are your biggest asset. Tools, equipment, and materials matter, but without a reliable, motivated team, projects slip, quality drops, and stress increases fast.

We’ve been in the construction industry long enough to see that businesses that look after their staff tend to be more stable, deliver better work, and keep clients happier.

A few fundamentals:

• Pay fairly and pay on time: Cash flow pressure hits your team just as hard as it hits you

• Create safer sites: Proper equipment, dust control, and the right materials protect everyone

• Communicate clearly: People work better when expectations are understood

• Invest in skills: Trained teams work faster, make fewer mistakes, and take pride in their work

• Respect goes a long way: How you treat your team shows in the quality of work they deliver

We supply specialised construction materials and equipment to contractors every day. But we also share this kind of insight because when our customers run better businesses, projects succeed and everyone wins.

Strong businesses are built by strong teams. Look after your people, and they’ll help you build something that lasts.

Every project is different and sometimes, the conditions on site or the performance requirements mean a standard flooring product just won’t cut it.

We work with contractors and applicators to develop custom mixtures and solutions that perform exactly the way your project needs them to.

If you’ve got a project that needs more than an off-the-shelf product, talk to us. We’ll help you make it work.

Contractors in construction face business risk when they use the wrong equipment for projects or they experience equipment failure without backup.

This can have a few results:

• Crews stand idle while work is delayed
• Quality drops as people try to “make do”
• Deadlines slip and client trust takes a knock
• Costs increase through rework or emergency hire

Some simple, practical steps that help reduce this risk:

• Make sure tools and machines are suited to the application, not just available
• Check equipment condition before arriving on site
• Have a plan for backups or replacements if something fails
• Factor specialised tools into your pricing instead of absorbing the cost later

We supply construction materials, tools, and equipment to contractors every day, and we see how often the right setup makes the difference between a smooth project and a stressful one.

Having access to the correct equipment protects your time, your margins, and your reputation.

In construction, your workmanship needs to be great, but it’s also important to maintain good relationships with your customers.

A good project experience isn’t only about finishing on time or delivering a clean result. It’s also about how you communicate, how you manage expectations, and how you make the client feel throughout the process. Clients remember contractors who are easy to work with.

When you maintain those relationships, you’re not just finishing a job, you’re building a long-term pipeline of repeat work and referrals. That’s how many successful contractors grow.

We’ve built our business the same way. Years of working closely with contractors has shown us that strong relationships create stability, trust, and better outcomes for everyone involved. We supply the materials, equipment, and technical support, but we also care about helping you build a business that lasts.
