About the Survey

This survey draws data from four hardware stores: Build It, BUCO, Pupkewitz Megabuild, and Ark Trading. Conducted monthly by The Brief, it began in June 2023 to evaluate a basket of comparable hardware items that customers are likely to purchase each month.

The survey’s primary goal is to help shoppers identify which hardware wholesaler offers the most affordable basket of building materials for a given month. Additionally, the survey tracks changes in the basket to analyze both overall basket trends and individual item variations on a month-by-month and year-on-year basis.

The following items are in the basket:

  • Roofing Galvanized IBR
  • Copper Tube 460 Class 0
  • Aluminium Window (Bronze)
  • Aluminium Sliding Door (Bronze)
  • Brick 7 MPA
  • Brickforce 150 MM 15M ROLL
  • Brickforce 75MM 15M ROLL
  • Lintel concrete 1200X110X75MM
  • Lintel concrete 1800X110X75MM
  • Lintel concrete 900X110X75MM
  • Ceiling Board 1200X3000X6.4MM
  • Door Frame Steel 813X2032X115X1MM
  • Lockset 2 lever
  • Door Hardboard Interior 813 X 2032 MM
  • 32.5 Cement Ohorongo
  • 42.5 Cement Ohorongo
