STEEL

Steel's strength-to-weight and strength-tosize ratios are both high. It has a high cost when compared to other metals. Structural experts may advise on the best costeffective sizes to utilize in a home to sustain the building's real load.

CEMENT

WOOD

Cement is a composite material made up of fine and coarse aggregates (such as gravel, crushed stone, recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates) that are held together by a liquid binder like cement that hardens or cures over time.

Wood is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, construction materials, having been used for thousands of years and has qualities that make it a suitable building material, even in the days before designed and synthetic materials.

BRICK/MASONRY Individual pieces (such as bricks) are used in masonry building to create structures that are generally held together by mortar. Clay bricks were traditionally produced in a mould and burned in a kiln. Find good building materials suppliers in dubai https://madar-uae.com/
