Yes — use the Track Order page with your Rock Hard order reference (format RH-YY-NNNNN). You'll see live status updates from scheduled → loading → dispatched → in transit → arriving → delivered, plus GPS-verified digital proof of delivery with signature and photos.

Question 9

What is the cement type — is it Portland cement?

Accepted Answer

Rock Hard Cement is Portland cement CEM I 42.5 N, manufactured to EN 197-1 standards. It reaches a minimum compressive strength of 42.5 N/mm² at 28 days, making it suitable for structural concrete, foundations, columns, beams, slabs, mortar, plastering and screeding.

Question 10

What mix ratio should I use with Rock Hard Cement?

Accepted Answer

Standard mix ratios: 1:4 cement-to-sand for blockwork mortar, 1:2:4 (cement:sand:coarse aggregate) for general C20/25 concrete, 1:1.5:3 for structural C25/30 concrete, 1:4 for plastering mortar, and 1:3 for floor screed. Final mix design should be verified by a qualified engineer for your specific project.

Question 11

How should I store cement bags on site?

Accepted Answer

Store cement bags on dry timber pallets off the floor, under cover away from moisture and direct rain. Use oldest stock first — cement performs best within three months of manufacture. Do not stack bags more than eight high to prevent compaction, and keep bags away from waterways.

Question 12

How many bags of cement do I need for my project?

Accepted Answer

Use the Rock Hard Cement Calculator to estimate bag requirements for slabs, foundations, columns, beams, block laying and plastering. As a rule of thumb, a 100 mm-thick slab needs about 7 bags of 42.5 kg cement per 10 m². For accurate quantities, share your drawings with us and we'll size the order.

Question 13

Do you serve homeowners as well as contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Rock Hard Cement Jamaica supplies homeowners, self-builders, contractors, developers, hardware stores, distributors and logistics partners. Homeowners can order single bags, contractors can run PO-based project supply, and hardware stores can schedule replenishment through their branch account.
