Cost Saving
Cost Impact Analysis Compare to Bricks
| Cost | Saving Component | Estimated Impact on Project | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motor Material | 60% | 1% | Magiclite AAC blocks are 9 times the size of conventional bricks, resulting in 1/3rd the number of joints. Thus an overall mortar savings up to 66% |
| Plastering material | 35% | 2% | Exceptional dimensional accuracy & smooth surfaces, eliminates need of threecoat plaster walls and allows for a final 6mm skin coat (putty/ gypsum plaster ) |
| Wastage | 10% | 0.5% | Breakage in Bricks might be as high as 15% in which in case of AAC blocks is less than |
| Structural Material (Steel & concrete) | 15% | 6% | Being light weight, AAC blocks drastically reduce the dead weight of the building. This translates to design of lighter structures leading to reduction in concrete (up to 20%) |
| increase in floor space area | 2% | 4% | Due to exceptional themal Insulation & weather berrier properties. Its possible to use thinner blocks, which results in increase carpet area. |
| Saving in Capex for HVAC Systems | 30% | 0.3% | AAC blocks have excellent insulation properties, which results in savingin capex and opex of HVAC systems. |
| Total impact on Project Cost | 11.80% |
