Cost of Sand and Stones per Ton in Nigeria 2022

Sand is a prevalent building material that accounts for about 75% content of most buildings
currently in Nigeria. Although the usage of its alternatives are there, but they are not rampant
compared to the application of soft and sharp sand in molding of blocks or bricks, Earth filling,
laying of blocks, wall plastering and many other uses of this common building material in a
typical construction project.

On the other hand, stones or chippings as they are called are coarse aggregates which are
more than 4.75 mm in diameter. They may come as gravel, cobbles or boulders.

Lime) in a given ratio so as to give the outcome an adhesive surface area, prevent it from
cracking & shrinking and to increase the volume so as to reduce cost. While in concrete, it
does more of the same work along with coarse aggregate (Gravel or Granite) and cement in a
