There are two basic types of sand used in construction works. One is the Course type of sand used in the concrete and brickworks. The other sand is fine sand used for plaster and finishing works of walls.

Sand is the basic ingredient in concrete. Sand is used in brick works, foundation works and concrete. In plaster works only a mixture of cement and fine sand is used. Sand is also used as damping materials in marbles fixing on floors.

The quality of sand depends on the fineness of the sand. In Pakistan, Ghazi and Lawrencepur sand are the top-quality sand. This sand is free of mud and is mostly used in finishing works. Low-quality sand is a mixture of coarse and fine sand, and it is mixed with mud.

Mostly sand prices are affected by fuel prices in Pakistan. Second, the quality of sand affects the sand prices. Local people in urban areas extract sand from rivers, the cheapest sand in Pakistan.

Sand prices depend on the quality of the sand. Fine sand used for finishing works is more costly than coarse sand. Also, sand prices depend on transportation costs in some areas.
