One of the most common questions we receive is: “How much does concrete cutting cost in Palakkad?” The honest answer is that it varies — but in this guide we give you real indicative prices for each type of concrete cutting work so you can budget your project accurately before calling for a quote.
All prices in this guide are indicative for Palakkad, Kerala. Actual cost depends on concrete thickness, rebar, site access, and job volume.
Core cutting cost in Palakkad
Core cutting (diamond core drilling) is priced primarily by hole diameter and concrete thickness. Palakkad pricing for 2026:
| Hole Diameter | Typical Use | Cost per Hole |
|---|---|---|
| 25–50mm | Electrical conduits, small pipes | ₹200 – ₹350 |
| 75–100mm | AC piping, plumbing riser holes | ₹350 – ₹600 |
| 150mm | MEP duct entries | ₹500 – ₹750 |
| 200–250mm | Large MEP, ventilation | ₹700 – ₹950 |
| 300–400mm | Large duct openings | ₹1,000 – ₹1,500+ |
* Prices above are for standard concrete walls/slabs up to 200mm thick. RCC with heavy rebar or walls 300mm+ will add 30–50% to the cost.
For bulk jobs — MEP contractors drilling 20+ holes — we offer discounted package rates. Call us for project pricing.
Wall cutting cost in Palakkad
Wall sawing is priced by the linear meter of cut, but most clients ask for the total cost of a specific opening. Door and window openings are the most common wall cutting jobs:
| Opening Type | Wall Type | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard door (900×2100mm) | 150mm plain concrete | ₹3,500 – ₹5,500 |
| Standard door (900×2100mm) | 200mm RCC wall | ₹5,500 – ₹9,000 |
| Large door / arch | 150mm concrete | ₹5,000 – ₹8,000 |
| Standard window | 150mm concrete | ₹2,500 – ₹4,500 |
| HVAC duct opening | 200–300mm concrete | ₹4,000 – ₹8,000 |
Slab cutting cost in Palakkad
Floor and slab cutting is priced per linear meter for trenches, or as a total project cost for opening creation:
Plumbing trench (100–150mm slab)
₹150 – ₹250 per meter
Drainage trench (200–300mm slab)
₹250 – ₹450 per meter
Staircase opening
₹8,000 – ₹18,000
Expansion joint cutting

Demolition cost in Palakkad
Demolition pricing depends heavily on the structure size, material, and access. As a rough guide for Palakkad:
| Structure | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|
| Single room (100–200 sq ft) | ₹25,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Single-storey house (1000 sq ft) | ₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| Two-storey house | ₹1,80,000 – ₹4,00,000 |
| Compound wall (per linear meter) | ₹1,500 – ₹3,000 |
| Commercial building (per floor) | ₹2,00,000+ |
What affects the final cost?
Concrete thickness
Thicker slabs and walls take longer and use more equipment capacity. 300mm+ walls typically cost 40–60% more than 150mm walls.
Rebar density (RCC)
Dense multi-layer reinforcement slows cutting speed and increases bit wear. RCC jobs typically cost 30–50% more than plain concrete.
Site accessibility
Ground-floor work is cheapest. Upper-floor or confined-space work adds equipment setup time and cost.
Volume / number of holes
Bulk jobs receive better per-unit pricing. A 1-hole job costs more per hole than a 20-hole job for the same diameter.
Emergency or off-hours work
Emergency call-outs and weekend/night work carry a premium of 25–50%.
