Guyz I am totally confused in identifying the proper sand for my house construction.
In fact I posponed the molding itself because of doubt in sand.
Earlier my mestri arranged the Tirchi sand in 33000 measuring around 600~650cft.
After that I started using Andhra sand which comes around 400 cft in around 17~18K.
People near to my area are telling that it is filtered sand we should not use it at any cost.
Please suggest me some genuine sand supplier and what it mean by filtered sand and how it impacts construction quality.
It is urgent please help me

Hi Ashish,
Andhra sand is not filter sand it is called as gadde maralu. I just finished building a 3 floors structure . I have used this sand for the entire structure.
There are two to three varieties of Andhra sand. Fine and rough. Rough sand is what is suitable for moulding and for pillars.
I am planning to use Tirchy sand / River bed sand for plasting.
Thanks
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for the information. Is this price of ~17000 correct for one load of Andhra Sand?
Regards

Hi
Sand Rate/Price is based on the quality of sand, like %age of wastage or river/kaere sand.... I have used both Trichi and Harihar sand. Rajesh you are right for plastering its fine sand... again my mason was saying fine fully is also not advise able.. it should be sand with consistent size to get smooth finish...
Yesterday I paid 42K for 700cft Terex load for Trichi Sand... quality of sand is really good and I see very low wastage when it is filtered for plastering..
