Win a small number of anchor accounts early, then layer in contractors and cash sales as the ramp builds — converting proximity into contracted volume.
Channels and customers
- Anchor ready-mix and asphalt accounts: secure one or two corridor ready-mix and asphalt producers as base-load offtake before commissioning.
- Road and civil contractors: supply G-materials and stone into road-rehabilitation and civils projects on the corridor.
- Merchants and cash sales: weighbridge cash sales to small contractors and the general trade fill capacity and improve mix.
The commercial funnel
The Year-5 volume plan is underpinned by a concentrated set of relationships rather than a mass-market sales effort, appropriate for a bulk-commodity business where a handful of accounts drive the majority of tonnes.

Pricing and retention
Pricing is set on a delivered-cost basis relative to distant alternatives, protecting the haulage advantage while remaining competitive at the quarry gate. Accreditation to SANS grades, consistent quality and reliable dispatch drive repeat orders; framework supply agreements with anchor accounts convert the location advantage into contracted, forecastable volume.
