About Raw material

1) Waapsi rodi, which is used for making the base on to which the 'jaal' and the 'columns' are installed, comes in various colors. The one which is blue in color is best.

2) The building material supplier often mixes sand with badarpur. You can test it by putting a sample of it in a transparent bottle with water overnight. The badarpur settles down at the bottom and the remaining sand settles on top of it. This will give you a fair idea about the extent of mixing and cheating.

3) The cement bags are often less in weight than what they should be.

4) The saria which you buy when get shipped can have some bundles of the company other than what you bought. So one should inspect it before taking the delivery. Also check the balance yourself before getting the saria weighed on that machine.

5) The prices for saria changes on a daily basis as "iron/Loha" is traded as a commodity on the bourses like stocks of a company. So you might want to track the price movement for some time before deciding to buy it.
