Hello All.
I am planning to build a 2 bedroomed stone house in the next 2 - 4 months.I have already purchased the quarry stones for foundation and a truck load of ballast.Please advise on reputable and economic means of getting river sand and other building related materials.
I am building in my rural home in Kiamwangi,Gatundu South.

Please Advise.Thank you.

Thank you for the advise.How good is the sand compared to the river sand from Machakos county especially ?
The other thing is advise regarding how to tell good machine cut stones from Ndarugu since thats the nearest quarry to the area i am planning to build the house.
