About Dzata
Dzata is the value story: 100% Ghanaian-owned, Tema-based, and usually the cheapest of the major brands. On a full house the cement line runs to tens of thousands of cedis, so the gap between Dzata and the market leader is real money rather than small change. And because cement grade is a standard, Dzata's 42.5R does the same structural job as any other brand's 42.5R — the strength is the strength. For a self-builder watching the budget, it is the natural first quote to get.
Is Dzata worth it? The numbers
Dzata cement for a three-bedroom shell (≈500 bags)
≈ ₵51,000
Cement only, at ~500 bags for a like-for-like comparison — not the full materials bill. A green figure is what you save on the cement line versus that brand.
Best for
The cost-driven self-builder's default across the whole house — structure and blockwork alike, since a 42.5R is a 42.5R. Price your cement line here first as the benchmark every other brand must beat.
Watch for
As a value brand it can sell through at a busy yard — confirm stock before planning a big pour around it.

Dzata is 100% Ghanaian-owned and Tema-based — usually the cheapest of the major brands.

Because cement tracks the cedi. Dzata is ground in Tema by a wholly Ghanaian-owned plant, and clinker and gypsum — cement's main inputs — are dollar-priced imports, so a weaker cedi lifts the bag price within weeks. Manufacturers' own price notices routinely cite the exchange rate as the reason.How many bags of Dzata for a 3-bedroom house?
A standard 150-square-metre three-bedroom shell takes on the order of 450 to 550 bags of any brand, Dzata included. At ₵102 a bag that is a substantial line item, which is why the brand choice matters. The build calculator on the main build page estimates it for your size.What grade is Dzata cement?
