Composite of cement, sand, aggregate and water (plus admixtures when specified). Strength grades such as M20/M25 are planning labels — design governs.
Reinforcement bars (typically TMT) used in RCC. Weight follows the d²/162 rule for metre lengths — design dictates diameters and spacing.
Crushed stone / jelly used in concrete and some base layers. Size grading (e.g. 20 mm) affects mix design and pumpability.
Fine aggregate for concrete, mortar and plaster. River sand and manufactured sand (M-sand) are both used — grading and silt content matter.
