Bengaluru – The booming construction hub
The recent rise in India’s IT and ITES sector has opened up new growth opportunities for the country’s building industry. Rapid construction of larger buildings began as one multinational after another opened shop. The rise of the services industry has resulted in higher disposable incomes. This has further resulted in changing consumer mindset towards interior spaces. The Indian construction industry, specifically in Bengaluru, is quickly adapting to the changing circumstances, keeping up with the times.
With numerous MNCs setting up their base and offices across the city, along with their expectations of higher standards in design and performance, the construction fraternity has adapted to occupant-centric design as a focus.
The Bengaluru market has seen a sharp uprise over the years. This is with respect to infrastructure investments across office spaces, industrial and warehousing, and retail. With high demand, the city has been the most prominent hub for construction in the country. This also results in addressing this demand in the least time possible, which looks for solutions that help address speedy project deliveries.
Whether at their homes or offices, the buyers want functionality and ambiance that is at par with global standards. As a result, innovative methods in building, design, technology, and interiors are becoming popular. Several traditional construction approaches are being phased out by faster and more flexible technologies like Drywalls.
Mysore Light & Interiors, being one of the most popular Drywall contractors in Bengaluru, is driving this change by bringing in a modular approach.
The same is being translated more & is better accepted by various segments with Drywalls for faster execution of the projects with significant structural cost savings. Through faster execution, optimization & less dependency on on-site works, Mysore light & Interiors Private Limited is supporting clients by delivering projects much quicker and with utmost quality.
Drywalls – A modular approach to take designing to the next level
Over the last decade, the requirement and approach towards the value engineering of products have definitely been chasing the modern approach as well as seamless execution with faster timelines. To achieve the project management triangle, with utmost sincerity and dedication, one needs to adapt to the changing environment and requirements of the industry. Especially, the pandemic has taught everyone about the need for a safer construction environment. In lieu of this, the dynamics of building solutions have changed to ensure less on-site work, modular and optimized approaches. Value engineering in terms of execution, timeline & compliances plays a prominent role.
Drywall partitions are lighter and can save a significant load (dead), resulting in thinner columns and slabs. It requires less time to build and is a completely dry construction methodology. As a result, the construction can progress at a considerably faster and more well-planned pace. There are fewer undulations and adjustments since the walls are more accurate and aligned. As buildings grow taller, particularly in cities like Bengaluru, the necessity to reduce structural load increases. Thus, Drywalls become the apt option.
Drywall partitions with lesser thickness help in achieving the same or higher acoustics compared to a thicker brick wall or a block wall. Being a lightweight solution, Drywall systems save transportation costs. Moreover, they reduce the structural cost of a project as well. It also adds flexibility to the building layout.
