Cimerwa hires consultants to improve house construction projects

Rwanda's largest cement manufacturer, Cimerwa, has hired three construction consultants with an aim to improve standards in the property market. The consultants offer free advice to Cimerwa clients, largely on issues related to which material to use when constructing a house or implementing any construction project.

The initiative was unveiled during the just-concluded Rwanda International Trade Fair, commonly known as the Expo. Cimerwa officials said that the partnership with the consultants will lead to sustainable construction projects as well as proper planning and budgeting.

John Jovith Maridadi, the Sales and Distribution Manager, said their main target at the expo was not to make sales but rather to help connect with their clients.

"Our main priority in this year's expo was not to showcase the uniqueness of our products but to create partnership with private consultants in the construction industry. We brought them (consultants) to our stand so that our clients can start making contacts whereby they can call for assistance whenever they have construction projects," Maridadi told The New Times.
