hi DD
generally i worry about all things that remain unquantifiable. storage of materials is something i worry about, ie as to how big to build the shed so that materials can be stored optimally.
the part about sand i had not thought about contamination as this is my 1st build..so that comes in useful.
now this is one question i will have to resolve with the contractor, ie to build a shed large enough to hold all the cement, sand and stone in 1 order, or to split up the orders to be used on a jit basis.
this will largely depends on the experience of the contractor and a balance between the additional transport costs of repeated trips vs cost savings derived from materials ordering in a single order
of course this all sounds pretty nice in theory, but in practice i realise there are significant tradeoffs to be made
