Many construction project owners only compare the unit price of wall materials on the surface, but ignore the total comprehensive cost of the whole wall construction system. The detailed total construction cost breakdown analysis of Ceramsite Panel Expanded Clay Cement Panel will show you that this material actually has great economic advantages over traditional brick walls and other lightweight partition materials. First of all, we calculate the material cost part. The unit price of qualified Ceramsite Panel is slightly higher than the common hollow brick on the market. But if you add the cost of cement sand steel bar and plastering material needed for traditional brick wall construction, the total material cost of Ceramsite Panel is almost the same as the traditional brick wall. The second part is the labor cost. Because Ceramsite Panel is very lightweight and easy to install, the number of workers needed for construction is reduced by 60 percent compared with brick wall work. The installation speed is 7 times faster than traditional brick wall. This makes the total labor cost of Ceramsite Panel wall only about 30 percent of the labor cost of traditional brick wall. The third part is the structural cost. Because the weight of Ceramsite Panel is only one third of the traditional brick wall, the main structure of the building does not need to bear so much extra dead load. The total cost of concrete and steel bar used in the main structure can be reduced by 15 to 20 percent. This saving is very considerable for large construction projects. The fourth part is the later maintenance cost. The surface of Ceramsite Panel is very flat, you do not need to do thick plastering work. The wall will not crack easily after long term use. The annual maintenance cost is almost zero. The traditional brick wall often needs to repair the cracked plaster surface every few years. The last part is the time cost. Using Ceramsite Panel can shorten the whole wall construction cycle by more than 70 percent. The project can be delivered and put into operation much earlier. For commercial real estate projects, this can bring hundreds of thousands of extra revenue in advance. When you add all these costs together, the total comprehensive cost of Ceramsite Panel is 35 percent lower than the traditional brick wall. This is why more and more project owners choose Expanded Clay Cement Panel in their new projects.
