Sand quarrying ban to jack up cost: Realtors [1]

With the AP High Court’s ban on sand quarrying coming into force across the state on Sunday, the real estate sector has sent an SOS to the government, asking it intervene and tackle the “crisis”.

According to buil-ders, the construction costs will go up by about 15 per cent in the short term, as sand constitutes between 8 and 11 per cent of the total building cost.
