Definition
Cement is a building material sold in Saudi Arabia by the 50kg bag, typically priced from 16 to 19 SAR per 50kg bag, and supplied to projects under SASO GSO 1914 / ASTM C150 — OPC Type I and SRC Type V.
Cement in the Saudi context
OPC is the general-purpose choice; SRC (Type V) resists sulfate attack and is required for most Saudi foundations, costing 10-15% more. Quantity planning: A 100 sqm slab at 15cm thickness needs about 15 m³ of concrete — roughly 300 bags of 50kg cement, 11 tons of sand and 22 tons of aggregate. Minimum order for delivery in Saudi Arabia: 1 pallet (40-50 bags) for delivery; bulk tanker from 25 tons. Leading brands available on Benna include Saudi Cement, Yanbu Cement, Qassim Cement, Southern Province Cement.
