CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS PRICE IN MARKET PRICE
A list of Construction and Building materials price is required before starting any construction project whether it is a home, industrial or commercial purpose. In building construction, we used lots of different types of construction materials, finishing, protective and decorative materials. But, some materials are essential without that construction work may not be complete such materials list includes cement, steel, sand, ready mix concrete, binding wires, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, bricks, blocks, etc. The used construction materials have to be selected carefully to ensure the safety and long-lasting life of the building.
All the Building materials available in various grades, Sizes and Brands which are used for different purposes in construction based on their functionality and strength.
Building Materials List:
Following is the building material list required for any construction work.
- Cement
- TMT or TMX Steel
- Sand / Fine Aggregates
- Ready-mix concrete
- TMT Binding Wires
- Coarse Aggregates
- Bricks/Blocks
Construction and Building Materials with their Price:
1. Cement:
Portland cement is the basic and most essential ingredient of concrete. Concrete is made when Portland cement creates a paste with water that binds with sand and rock to harden. Cement is a material like the glue that can bind together all other building materials and get harden too. The cement is available in different like, 53 grades, 43-grade cement, OPC (ordinary Portland cement), PPC (Portland pozzolana cement), etc. It is the most expensive construction materials
Cement Price: 4 to 5 dollars per 50 kg bag or 300 to 350 Rs. Per 50 kg bag.
2. TMT or TMX Steel:
TMT bars or Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars are high-strength reinforcement bars having a tough outer core and a soft inner core. Steel is a high-strength material compared to concrete. The reinforcing steel is strong in tension as well in compression. It plays an important role in giving strength to structure in the construction projects.
TMT steel bars are available in Fe 500 grade, Fe 500 D grade and Fe 550 grade which signifies the strength of the steel.
TMT/TMX Price: 45 to 60 Rs. Per Kg or 0.75 to 1 $ per Kg.
3. Sand / Fine Aggregates:
Sand is a naturally-occurring material consisting of very small, loose particles of decomposed rocks, corals, or shells. Sand is used to strength, bulk and other properties to construction materials like asphalt and concrete. Sand is also used as a decorative material in landscaping. Some types of sand are used in the manufacture of glass and as a molding material for metal casting.
Generally, sand is extracted from the river bed and cleaned to be used construction. There is also available manufactured sand also well-known as the M-sand is gaining popularity due to the recommendation from the government and its fineness and dust-free quality.
Sand Price: 1500 to 3000 Rs. Per Tonne.
4. Ready Mix Concrete:
Ready-mix concrete is the plant manufactured and directly delivered at the construction site. It is preferred when a workspace is limited on construction site and making concrete on site is too difficult tasks. Some time Ready Mix Concrete used because the quality of concrete is more important.
As per the requirement and use RMC is categorized into M-20, M-25, M-30, M-35, etc.
RMC Price: 3000 to 7500 Rs. As per grade of Concrete.
5. TMT Binding Wires:
Binding wires are the thin iron steel wire that used to bind or tight the TMT Steel bars and help in providing proper structure to the construction due to the stability of the TMT Steel Bars. Approximately, 1 tone of steelwork on-site consumes 8 to 10 kg of binding wires.
TMT Binding Wires Price: 40 to 50 Rs. per Kg.
6. Coarse Aggregates
Coarse aggregate extracted by breaking from rocks using explosives & crushed into pieces using machines & coarse aggregate sizes 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, 40mm, 60mm is divided using big sieves in machines & coarse aggregate like 6,12,20mm is used to mix in concrete for construction purposes & 40mm is used for railroads. The coarse aggregate provides the main structure to the concrete and load-bearing ingredient of the concrete.
Coarse Aggregates Price: 60 to 70 Rs. per Cubic Feet.
7. Bricks/Blocks:
Bricks and Blocks are mainly used for building walls. Bricks come in various shapes, sizes, and strengths-based on different construction requirements. Nowadays, Light Weight Fly ash concrete block for the wall, parapet, and boundary wall construction. They are light in weight compared to conventional bricks.
Bricks: 6 to 10 Rs. per Piece.
Light Weight Blocks: 40 to 50 Rs. per Piece.
