Sand is sold in Uganda by the "trip" (a truckload), and the price depends on sand type, distance from the source and truck size. River sand for concrete, plaster sand for finishing, and hardcore for foundation fill each carry different rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a trip of sand in Kampala?
A trip of river sand in Kampala typically starts from UGX 150,000 depending on truck size and source. Plaster sand and fine sand are priced separately. Check the Price Index for current rates.
What is the difference between river sand and plaster sand?
River sand is coarser and used for concrete and blockwork. Plaster sand is finer and used for wall plaster and screeding. Both are needed on most projects.
How is sand measured in Uganda?
Sand is sold per trip (truckload), not by weight. A standard tipper trip is roughly 7–10 tonnes depending on the truck. Always confirm the trip size with the supplier.
