Crushed stones at lowest rate - Rate per tone

Crushed stone is a very essential building material used for concreting and allied purposes in the construction of houses and buildings. Usually crushed stones are supplied by building material suppliers in lorries and they charge each load of crushed material based on some arbitrary figure which refer to the volume of the material in cubic feet. They have fixed some figures for each type of vehicle and material cost is expressed in terms of the maximum cubic feet of material that such a vehicle can carry. In fact the load carried in such vehicles will be sagging which means that the maximum quantity that can be carried is not contained in the vehicle.

But in my activities connected with construction  work, one day I happened to go  to a crusher quarry near to kakkanad and to my surprise it is found that they are selling crushed stone,  rate of which  is charged based on the load contained in the vehicle. This seems  to be a better method than calculating the quantity in terms of cubit feet. In crusher quarries, the lorry carrying the crushed stone is weighed after loading the crushed stone and after subtracting the unladen weight of the vehicle the weight of the crushed sand loaded in the vehicle is calculated and thus the amount to be paid is also calculated.

But instead of showing the weighment certificate and collecting the price of the crushed stone plus the transporting charge of the vehicle, the building material suppliers are collecting arbitrary rates without mentioning anything about the actual quantity of crushed stone that is being supplied.

To safeguard the  customers from this malpractice I have decided to buy crushed stone from the quarries and supply to persons who are in need of it collecting the actual amount paid at the quarry as per the bill received  and the transporting charge for the material. If anybody is having a goods vehicle or can arrange  a goods vehicle for transporting crushed stand he can contact me. I will buy the crushed sand from the quarry where I have got contacts and the material can be transported to your house. If you have arranged the vehicle you need to pay only the amount as per the actual bill. Usually quarry people do not entertain strangers.However after so many days of frequent contact I have been considered as a metal dealer by one quarry and so it will not be difficult for me to buy and supply sand to other people.

I am also furnishing below the rates per tone of crushed stone (metal ). It was informed by the quarry owners that every tome of metal will normally contain 24 to 24 cubic fees of metal by volume.

Size  if crushed stone (metal)                      rate per tone in Rs

63 mm                                                  575

40 mm                                                  550

20 mm                                                  550

6mm                                                     550

It  may be seen that there is only a difference of  25 Rs in the rates of 63 mm metal and 6 mm metal. But in practice the building material suppliers charge very heavily  as the size of the metal becomes smaller and for the smallest size they charge very high charges calling it as baby metal.

If you are convinced about the real facts, do call me.  I am here to help you. If your roof slab is about to be constructed, do not hesitate, call me immediately. Calculate the weiht in kilogrmas/tones which may be needed for your work based on the tone cubic feet conversion ratio stated by me earlier. If you call me one day morning withing 3 to 4 houres the required quatitiy of metal can be unloaded in your compound.
