Things you should know about building materials before you start a project
The materials you choose to build with are one of the most important things that will affect how well, how long, and how safely a building project will go, whether it’s a home, office, store, or multi-story building.
ArQonZ makes it easier for you to get high-quality products from reliable suppliers by giving you a digital platform that is easy to use. Before you place your first order, let’s look at the basic building materials you need to know about, think about, and choose wisely.
Why Building Materials Are More Than Just Blocks
No matter how skilled you are as a developer or how new you are to building a home, building materials are a long-term investment.
They affect everything, from how much the house will sell for to how attractive it looks, how energy-efficient it is, and how strong it is.
Using the appropriate material will save you money, speed up building, and make you more money.
Using the wrong materials can lead to delays, safety issues, and increased expenses.
The best building materials for any job
This is a complete list of all the building materials you need and how they will affect your project.
1. Cement and Concrete:
Use grade-certified cement (such OPC 43/53) and mix concrete according to the rules for how it should be used. Good for beams, columns, slabs, lintels, and foundations. Ready-mix concrete (RMC) has two main benefits: it is consistent and it saves workers time.
2. Blocks, bricks, and wall units.
Tip for business: AAC blocks are light, fireproof, and save money on projects since they need less plaster. You can also choose clay bricks, fly ash bricks, or concrete blocks.
3. Steel and Reinforcement:
TMT Bars, Structural Steel, and Binding Wire. Business Tip: Use TMT bars that don’t rust for more flexibility and a longer life, especially in areas that are prone to earthquakes.
4. Types of sand and aggregates include river sand, M-sand, and coarse aggregates.
Business tip: M-sand is great for smooth finishes since it makes cement stick better and is also cheap and good for the environment.
5. Doors, windows, and frames
• Materials: wood, uPVC, and aluminum
• Business Tip: uPVC is the best choice for homes and businesses because it is the most energy-efficient, requires the least amount of care, and reduces noise.
6. Tiles, marble, and flooring:
You can choose from granite, Kota, vinyl, laminated wood, and vitrified tiles.
Business Tip: Vitrified tiles are great for high-traffic areas because they are strong and don’t stain easily.
7. Electrical and Plumbing Supplies
• Products: Wires, Pipes, Fittings, Conduits, Switches
Business Advice:
To save money on repairs and make sure everything is safe, always buy branded, ISI-marked goods.
8. Paints, waterproofing, and finishes:
These include polyurethane coatings, bituminous sheets, interior emulsions, exterior paints, and priming.
Business Tip: Use current waterproofing methods and low-VOC paints to cut down on long-term upkeep.
