Sand & Crush (Bajri) Rates — Per Cubic Foot

Sand and crush are usually quoted per foot at delivery to your site — transport is the hidden variable. Always confirm whether the quoted rate includes trolley freight.
Other Materials — Quick Reference
| Material | Unit | Rate (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Cement blocks (6") | per piece | 95 – 120 |
| Wall tiles (standard) | per sq.ft | 120 – 350 |

| Emulsion paint (Happilac class) | per gallon | 6,500 – 9,500 |
5 Smart Ways to Avoid Overpaying
- Buy cement in project lots (500+ bags) — ask for builder rates; store off the ground under plastic.
- Book bricks before peak season (March–June) — kiln rates jump 8–12% in peak.
- Weigh every steel trolley — insist on witnessing the weighbridge.
- Never pay full advance — stage-linked payments keep suppliers punctual.
- Compare rate + freight, not just rate — a cheaper trolley 30 km away often costs more delivered.
Need Today's Exact Rate?
Every figure above is a market estimate that moves with fuel prices, season and demand.

You can also estimate your total quantities free before you order.
What Actually Moves the Price You Pay
Anyone can print a rate list. What decides the number you actually pay is a short list of things that change from order to order:
- Quantity tier. A single bag or a single foot of material sits at counter price. A house's worth of material, ordered against a schedule, sits at builder-tier pricing. Consolidating your list is the single biggest lever you control.
- Brand and grade choice. In cement, OPC 53 grade for structure and PPC for masonry and plaster are the two locals actually buy. In steel, Grade 60 is the standard choice for slabs and beams with Grade 40 on lighter works — your structural drawings decide, not the price tag.
- Distance. We deliver regularly within roughly 10–15 km of Jhelum city centre — Civil Lines, Bilal Town, Kala Gujran, Haji Aima, Kotla Aima, Katcheri, Mohamdi Chowk, Madina Town, CITI Housing and around. Beyond that we can often still deliver with an agreed extra charge. Loose materials like sand and crush usually travel with delivery included; shop materials are ex-shop unless you book transport with us.
- The day itself. Rates move daily with the market. This is why we do not pretend a printed number is a promise — call or WhatsApp +92 331 5083 648 for today's figure, and lock it with an official order and advance payment if it works for you.
So when you compare two quotes, normalise them first: same brand, same grade, same quantity, same delivery terms, same day. Anything else is not a comparison — it is two different conversations.

Delivery Areas & Charges
Plain and simple — here is exactly how delivery works at Khokhar Traders.
Where we deliver: Locally within about 10–15 km of Jhelum city centre — Jhelum City, Civil Lines, Bilal Town, Kala Gujran, Haji Aima, Kotla Aima, Katchery, Mohamdi Chowk, Chishtian Mohallah, Madina Town, CITI Housing, and many more areas around Jhelum city centre. A little further out? We may still be able to deliver with extra charges — just ask.
Delivery charges: Agreed at the time of order. Share your location with our team and we calculate the exact distance, then confirm a fair delivery charge before anything is loaded. Prefer to save on transport? You are welcome to arrange your own transport.
Ex-shop rates vs delivered rates: Shop materials — cement, iron rebars (sariya), chips, tile bonds, paints, hardware — are priced at ex-shop rates: either we deliver at the agreed charge, or you arrange your own transport. Loose materials — sand, aggregate (crush), soil and gassu for foundation filling, and bricks on a full trolley — usually come with delivery included.
Full-truck cement delivery: We can deliver a full truck of 350–500 cement bags straight to your site (if a bigger truck can safely reach it). A small loader carries only 25–35 bags per trip — one full truck saves you many loader runs and real money on local transport.
Rates change daily: A rate confirmed over the phone is valid for that time of day only. A rate is locked with an official order and advance payment — we confirm the final rate and delivery charge together before dispatch.
Full details in our Shipping Policy — or call / WhatsApp +92 331 5083 648 and we will confirm today's rate and your delivery charge in minutes.
Good to Know Before You Act
Two honest notes about everything published in our guides.
Rates are market estimates and they change daily: any price or rate mentioned in our guides is an indicative market estimate for planning only — material rates in Pakistan fluctuate, sometimes daily. It does not matter what a guide, blog or old quotation says — the final and correct rate is always the one our team confirms with you on the day. Call or WhatsApp +92 331 5083 648 for today's exact price. A rate is locked only with an official order and advance payment.
No warranty on results — always speak to a professional first: quantities, mix ratios, material suggestions and methods described in our guides are general educational guidance, not instructions for your specific site. Results after mixing or using any material in any ratio depend on site conditions, water quality, handling, curing, storage and workmanship — we do not warrant or guarantee any result arising from following general guidance. Before you act, always speak with your engineer, contractor or a qualified professional — or ask our team for guidance on materials.
