I've worked with AAC Blocks on several projects, they offer good thermal insulation and are eco-friendly. However, we need to consider the availability and rates of these blocks in the local market to ensure they fit within our BOQ.

Have you considered the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of AAC Blocks? We had issues with them on our last project, the contractor had to redo the entire foundation. I'd recommend reviewing the drawings and specifications before making a final decision. 👍
We used AAC blocks on our last project and saw significant cost savings, but ensure your contractor is experienced with AAC to avoid issues with mortar and jointing, also check the BOQ for any specific requirements
AAC blocks are a good choice, but have you considered the structural requirements and load-bearing capacity of the site?
I'd recommend reviewing the BOQ to ensure the specified rates for AAC Blocks align with the project's budget, also check the availability of the material at the site location to avoid potential logistical issues
One practical way is to benchmark against the latest BOQ revision and vendor quotes.
AAC Blocks are a good choice for their thermal insulation and lightweight properties, but have you considered the higher cost compared to traditional clay bricks?

AAC blocks are a great choice, I've seen them used in several projects with good results, what's the quantity you're looking at?
Have you considered the cost implications of using AAC blocks versus traditional clay bricks? Our last project saw a 15% increase in material costs with AAC, but the labor savings were significant
