5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Chipping Stones in Nigeria

Avoid These Costly Mistakes When Buying Chipping Stones

 

Buying chipping stones for construction might seem simple — but it’s not. Choosing the wrong supplier or material can lead to project delays, structural issues, or wasted money.

At Arizona Chipping, we’ve helped hundreds of contractors, real estate developers, and builders get it right the first time. Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid when buying chipping stones in Nigeria — and how to avoid them.

1. Not Knowing the Right Chipping Size for Your Project

Different construction projects require different stone sizes:

• 1″ and 3/4″ granite chippings are perfect for foundations and drainage

• 3/8″ chippings are ideal for interlocking and surface finishing

Using the wrong size affects load-bearing capacity and surface quality. Always consult your supplier or engineer before placing an order.

2. Choosing Low-Quality or Mixed Stones

Not all chippings are created equal. Some sellers mix in low-grade materials that break under pressure or dissolve in water.

At Arizona Chipping, we supply:

• Premium granite chippings

• High-grade stone dust

• Durable hardcore for heavy-duty projects

 Buying substandard materials may save costs today, but can cost you repairs or structural failure tomorrow.

3. Failing to Plan for Timely Delivery

Even the best materials are useless if they arrive late. Many buyers forget to schedule delivery early enough or work with unreliable logistics.

With Arizona Chipping’s fast and flexible delivery options, we make sure your materials arrive when and where you need them. No delays. No excuses. Just solid service.

4. Buying From Unverified or Unreliable Suppliers

The market is full of fake agents and unreliable middlemen. A lot of customers fall victim to scams or poor delivery service.

Here’s what to check before you buy:

• Physical address and business contact

• Verified customer reviews

• Consistent product photos and truck deliveries

• Active website or social media presence

  5. Estimating Quantity Without Expert Input

  Over-ordering = wasted money
  Under-ordering = project delays

  Let us help you calculate exactly how many tipper loads you need based on:

  • Project type (foundation, road, slab)

  • Land size

  • Stone size

    To avoid waste, delay, or regret — work with a trusted supplier who understands both material quality and delivery efficiency.
