What is prepacked concrete?


Prepackaged concrete, also known as ready-mix concrete, is a highly efficient and versatile construction material essential for various building projects. This type of concrete is prepared and mixed in a factory setting, ensuring consistency in quality and composition before being transported to the construction site.



ZWE Crete is a proudly Zimbabwean product, made for your convenience. "It's a DIYers dream." Here are some steps for using prepackaged concrete:



Step #1 - Calculate the Amount Needed:


  • Determine how much premixed concrete you’ll need for your project. Multiply the length, width, and depth of the space you want to fill. This will give you the cubic volume of concrete required.

  • Next, divide this volume by 0.01 to get the number of 25KG bags needed.


Step #2 - Prepare the Area:



Set up any forms needed to hold the concrete.

Grade and compact the soil or subgrade material.
