kanukaushik, I think i have been taken for a ride. I didn't bargain much because Robo Silicon is a company and i thought they had fixed prices. 15,825/ includes tax and transport. In fact he quoted 750 including cost and transport. He added VAT on top of it.

Where all are you going to use this sand? I am thinking of only for compound (foundation + Wall) construction minus plastering.

Apart from plastering i will be using it for everything. Bharti mines & Rocks has given same quotation for me 740 + Tax. I am planning to go with Bharti as its well established name. They told plastering sand will be available by Nov end , so i will be using that for plastering.

Following are Manufactured/Artificial sand suppliers in Bangalore

http://www.robo.co.in/ -- Located in Bidadi , Roboplast is under R&D , Robo sand is avaialable
http://www.rocksand.in/ -- Mainly in AP , But have one unit in Bangalore. As of now it not working but will start in coming 2 months
http://www.bharathicement.com/mines-rock.aspx -- Located in Chickballapur , Plastering sand under R&D , Will be available by End of November
http://karnatakaenterprises.in/ -- They have plastering sand as well as normal sand both but expensive for me , might be due to distance , they quoted me around 55/cft
http://www.msand.in/ - Only in Kerala and TN

These manufacturers provides four types of products -
1) Manufactured sand for Concrete mixer used in RCC etc - Alternate of River sand
2) Manufactured sand for Concrete mixer used in Plastering - Alternate of River sand
3) 12mm , 20mm and 40mm jelly/Aggregate

Price for Manufactured sand is around 30/cft or 600/ton + Transportation charge around 3.5/Ton/KM + 5.5% Tax

Each ton of sand contains almost 20-22cft , almost same as River sand.

I called Bharti cement today , they sent sales guy with sample and visited a site where construction was going on. My site is around 60km from their Factory so they quoted 780/Ton (6 wheeler load containing around 20 tons or around 450 cft will cost around 15600 rs) including everything.

Planning to go with Manufactured sand. By the time i will require plastering , hopefully Plaster sand will be available.

Please provide your comments on same.

Hi

House contractor friend told me that, there are contractors who use borewell drilled dust for construction purposes, is it true ? what sort of construction activities it can be used?

[vmuralictr]

For PCC works Dust can be used
For RCC works like RCC walls , Plinth Beam , Columns & Slabs Robo sand can be used
