Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of sand in Vizag?
Sand prices in Visakhapatnam vary by type — river sand (isti) is premium-priced due to mining restrictions, while M-sand (manufactured sand) is more affordable and consistently available. Contact Sri Kanya for current rates based on quantity and delivery location.
Is M-sand better than river sand for construction?
M-sand (manufactured sand) is increasingly preferred for concrete due to consistent grading, zero clay content, and reliable supply. River sand is still preferred for plastering due to its smoother finish. For structural concrete, M-sand often produces stronger results. Both are available at Sri Kanya Vizag.
What size blue metal is used for house construction?
For house construction: 20mm jelly is used for foundations and columns, 12mm for slabs and beams, and 6mm chips for plastering and waterproofing work. Sri Kanya supplies all grades with same-day delivery in Visakhapatnam.
