Material Breakdown & Usage Guide
Margalla Crush
Margalla Crush is the backbone of structural construction in Pakistan. It’s used in foundations, concrete mixes, and road sub-base. The 12–20 mm variant is ideal for residential foundations, while larger sizes like 25–38 mm are preferred for commercial and infrastructure projects. Learn more on our Margalla Crush supply page.
Lawrencepur Sand
Lawrencepur Sand is known for its cleanliness and bonding strength. Regular sand is used in masonry and concrete, while Harrow sand is preferred for plastering due to its smoother texture. Builders often mix both types to balance cost and finish quality.
Ghazi Sand
Ghazi Sand is a fine-textured plaster sand used for interior wall finishing. It offers excellent coverage and smoothness, reducing the need for multiple coats. Contractors choose Ghazi for premium projects and decorative surfaces.

Why Prices Fluctuate Daily
- Fuel Costs: Transporting materials from quarries to urban sites depends heavily on diesel rates.
- Seasonal Demand: Monsoon repairs, winter builds, and government infrastructure projects spike demand.
- Regulatory Changes: Quarry access fees, transport permits, and taxation policies can alter supply costs.
- Supplier Inventory: Low stock levels or delivery delays can cause temporary price hikes.
Procurement Tips for Builders & Contractors
- Bulk Buying: Lock in lower rates by purchasing in bulk during off-peak months.
- Supplier Comparison: Don’t rely on one vendor. Compare rates weekly across multiple suppliers.
- Rate Alerts: Set up WhatsApp or SMS alerts with your supplier to get notified of price drops.
- Quality Checks: Always inspect material quality before accepting delivery—especially for sand and bricks.
- Storage Planning: Avoid over-ordering. Excess material can degrade or incur storage costs.
