What Are Hollow Blocks?
📖 Hollow Blocks (Concrete Masonry Units)
Hollow blocks — also called concrete hollow blocks or Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs) — are precast construction blocks made from cement, sand or fine aggregate, and water. They contain one or more cylindrical or rectangular voids running through the block, reducing weight while retaining adequate compressive strength for masonry applications. Widely used in Chennai construction for boundary walls, compound walls, partition walls, and infill masonry in RCC frame buildings. Available in 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch thicknesses (100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm nominal).
Why Hollow Blocks Are Used in Chennai Construction
- Reduced weight: lighter than solid masonry blocks of the same size — reduces structural load on the RCC frame
- Good compressive strength: adequate for non-load-bearing and infill masonry applications when correctly specified
- Thermal properties: the hollow cores provide some thermal insulation compared to solid concrete
- Large format: larger than conventional bricks — reduces joints and mortar required per sq metre of wall
- Cost-effective: generally competitive with other masonry options for boundary and compound wall applications
- Widely available: readily available across Chennai with short lead times
4 Inch vs 6 Inch vs 8 Inch Hollow Blocks — Which Thickness for Your Project?
Block thickness affects wall strength, thermal performance, and cost. The correct thickness must be confirmed with your architect or structural engineer based on the wall’s structural role, height, and applicable standards.
⚠ Always Confirm Block Thickness with Your Architect or Engineer
Never substitute a thinner or thicker block than specified without professional approval. The structural design of the wall depends on the block thickness, mortar grade, and reinforcement (where specified).
| Block Size | Nominal Thickness | Reference Price | Typical Application | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 inch | 100 mm | ₹42/piece | Internal partitions, low boundary walls, short non-structural walls | Not typically suitable for tall boundary walls or load-bearing; confirm with engineer |
| 6 inch | 150 mm | ₹52/piece | Standard boundary walls, compound walls, external infill walls in RCC frame | Most common size for boundary and compound walls; confirm height and structural requirements |
| 8 inch | 200 mm | ₹62/piece | Taller boundary walls, heavier masonry applications, external walls needing greater structural capacity | Per structural specification; confirm with structural engineer for wall height and loading |
Factors That Affect Hollow Block Prices in Chennai
The reference prices are indicative. The actual price at Buildiyo Store may differ based on:
- Block size and thickness: larger blocks cost more per piece — 8-inch blocks cost more than 4-inch for the same wall face area
- Order quantity: bulk orders typically attract better per-piece pricing — discuss your project quantity for a bulk rate
- Delivery location: transportation costs vary by distance to your site — confirm the all-inclusive delivered price before ordering
- Applicable GST: confirm whether quoted prices are GST-inclusive or exclusive before finalising the order
- Market availability: prices may vary with demand and stock availability — confirm current availability when ordering
- Market conditions: cement and raw material prices affect manufacturing costs and can cause price changes over time

How to Calculate Hollow Block Quantity for Your Project
Calculate Total Wall Area
Measure the total length and height of all walls to be constructed. Multiply length × height to get the gross wall area in square metres.
Deduct Openings
Subtract the area of all door and window openings from the gross wall area to get the net masonry area.
Calculate Blocks Per Square Metre
Divide 1 sq metre by the face area of one block (typically 400 mm × 200 mm — confirm with Buildiyo Store for the specific product dimensions).
Multiply by Net Wall Area
Multiply blocks per sq metre by total net wall area to get the number of blocks required.
Add Wastage Allowance
Add 5–10% for cutting waste, breakage, and site losses.

Hollow Block Buying Guide — Step by Step
Confirm Block Thickness With Your Architect or Engineer
Confirm which block thickness is specified for each wall type — 4-inch for internal partitions, 6-inch for standard boundary walls, 8-inch where greater structural capacity is required. Do not order based on price alone.
Calculate Your Quantity Requirement
Use the quantity estimation method above. Include 5–10% wastage allowance. Share quantities with Buildiyo Store for a confirmed order total and current rate.
