AAC Blocks FAQ
How is the final price calculated?
A quotation considers material, thickness, measured quantity, transport, unloading, floor level, framing, openings, access, labour, joint treatment, finishing scope and tax.
Does the quotation include transport?
Transport is confirmed explicitly in the written quotation because destination, load size, vehicle and unloading arrangements vary.
Does installation include framework?
Not automatically. Framework, structural supports and related engineering are included only when listed in the quotation scope.
Does installation include painting?
Painting, putty, primer and final decoration are exclusions unless the quotation includes them clearly.
Is a site visit required?
Simple supply enquiries may be priced from reliable drawings and quantities. Installation, unusual access or complex openings often benefit from a site inspection.
How is wall area calculated?
Gross wall length is multiplied by height and the measured opening area is deducted. Wastage and cutting allowances are then considered for the BOQ.
Can doors, windows and wiring be accommodated?
Yes, when openings, supports and service routes are planned with the chosen panel system. Late cutting can affect time, finish and material use.
How long does installation take?
Duration depends on wall area, crew access, framing readiness, openings, floor level and joint-finishing sequence. A programme is supplied after scope review.
Which areas are served?
Enquiries are accepted across Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur and other Tamil Nadu locations subject to project scope and logistics.
Are technical datasheets available?
Current manufacturer literature can be requested for shortlisted products. Values vary by product and thickness and should be verified before purchase.
