Regarding the support of raw materials for such construction such as the provision of stone for road construction and building, the raw material of the stone is taken from many stone quarry companies that produce excellent quality of stone to construct a strong and durable construction. For example in the area Rumpin, Bogor is a stone producer whose quality is very good. Many of the stone quarry companies in the area supply stone raw materials to government development projects in support of the government in accelerating development in Indonesia such as road construction, concrete for bridges and concrete structures which are currently widely required in the construction of railway lines LRT.
