I take it that you don’t have existing land with sand and gravel. So you are looking to go to the bank and buy land, seek permison for a pit, buy machines, plant, deal with environment, health and safety, all legal work, insurance, take on staff, deal with phones & enquiries, do the books and then chase peoples for money months after they got the product. I honestly wish you lots of energy and luck. Definitely google to see what other pits and quarries are in your locality or are where the end users are sourcing sand and gravel. It’s possibly in the next county but find where existing customers are getting it from as a starting point.

Big thing about a new pit is ground rates, its a commercial enterprise.

Sorry slightly off topic but thought someone in here might know.

If someone had 1million ton of good gravel & Sand in north of ireland unextracted what would you be likely to get per ton as an estimate. Its in a part of the world where there a number of quarries who would all be very interested in it.
