We track materials, regulation, and ground conditions across Zambia so our plans and prices hold up on site. Our industry tracking informs how we scope, price, and de-risk contracts.
The four areas our research covers, and how each one feeds our planning and pricing. Field Notes articles will be published here as they are written.
We follow cement, steel, aggregate and fuel prices and availability across the Copperbelt, so estimates reflect what materials cost when we buy them.
We keep EngRB, NCC, NAPSA and Workers' Compensation records current and follow changes to procurement rules, so tender submissions arrive complete.
Topographical data, drainage and land-use requirements, including change of use from agricultural to commercial, shape site layout before earthworks start.
Customs clearance times, border procedures and haulage availability affect programmes for imported equipment and materials, so we plan around them.
Practical notes on material availability, regulatory changes, terrain surveys, and customs clearance logistics across Zambia. Written directly by our engineering and surveying team.
