Cost Benifits of Lightweight Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) Block

WHY AAC BLOCKS ARE COST SAVING PRODUCT ?

Saving in Cost of Structure

• AAC blocks are one third lighter than conventional clay bricks, thereby reducing the dead weight of the structure drastically.
• Light weight structure decreases construction cost due to reducing steel, Cement and Excavation.
• Case Study Shows almost reduction in steel = 15 % reduction in cement =10%.
• Due to reduction in dead weight, Reduction in consumption of steel and cement and lesser.
• Excavation for foundations, construction time is reduced which in turn results in savings in labor cost and overheads..

Savings in Mortar

• AAC blocks are 7 times bigger than the size of the conventional bricks. Bigger size means less number of joints.
• Less joints results in lesser quantity of mortar for building. There is overall 60% reduction in use of Mortar.

Savings in Plaster

• AAC blocks have uniform shape and texture, which gives even surface to the walls.
• There is overall around 35% reduction in the cost of plastering.

Reduction in Wastage Due to less breakages

• Unlike conventional clay bricks which are prone to breakages, AAC blocks have almost nil breakages.
• There is over all 65% reduction in cost due to practically no wastage the input cost.

Reduction in HVAC Load

• AAC blocks are resistant to thermal variations. It reduces total load of refrigeration and air conditioning.
• Though initial installation cost may remain same but AAC blocks reduces operation and maintenance cost drastically.
• There is over all 25% saving in operation cost.

Savings in Power Infrastructure

• Due to lesser HVAC load, cost of power infrastructure i.e. is lesser capacity of transformer, DG set, and Cable etc also reduces considerably which in form results in savings in electricity charges.
