Basic Building Materials — The Layer Everything Else Sits On
Cement, boards, waterproofing, insulation and general construction consumables — purchased on the same schedule as your finishes so the base build and the visible work arrive in step.
Key facts
- Cement, mortar, grout, adhesives and repair compounds
- Boards: gypsum, cement, fibre-cement and moisture-resistant types
- Waterproofing: membranes, coatings, sealants and tapes
- Insulation: thermal, acoustic and fire-rated boards
- Fixings, hardware and site consumables in project quantities
- Packed and labelled by block or floor for on-site control
The base build, ordered with the finishes
Projects slip when the base build and the finishes are bought from different suppliers. VIGOHOME quotes the structural and preparation layer together with your tiles, stone and cabinetry, so quantities are reconciled once, materials land in one schedule, and nothing is discovered missing after the containers have sailed.
- Cement, mortar, grout and tile adhesives
- Gypsum, cement and fibre-cement boards

Basic building materials — common questions
What counts as basic building materials at VIGOHOME?
Cement, mortar, grout, adhesives, gypsum and cement boards, waterproofing membranes and coatings, thermal and acoustic insulation, fixing hardware and the consumables used during installation.
Can base materials ship in the same container as finishes?
Yes. Base materials are consolidated with tiles, stone, cabinetry and sanitary ware into one loading plan, staged so the materials used first sit closest to the container doors.
How do you control quantities on a mixed order?
Quantities are reconciled against your BOQ or drawing take-off, checked for wastage allowances per material, and packed in labelled units per block or floor so site teams can issue them without re-counting.
