Why can’t you build a house on sand?

Sand can’t be compacted and, as such, will never be a solid piece of earth to place a foundation on top of. Houses that are built on beaches are typically built upon concrete piers which go down to solid earth under the sand.

Can you build with river sand?

If it is clean and ready for use as building materials it should be a very light grey and be free from any sediment left by the water.
