Core Cutting Price in Kanpur

हिंदी में दरें देखें (Read in Hindi)

Core cutting starts from ₹200. Indicative pricing. Final quotation depends on hole diameter, depth, material, reinforcement, quantity, access, location, and equipment requirements.

Important Notice: Condition-Based Pricing

Because every construction site is unique, we do not quote rigid fixed rates that may mislead. A single hole in heavy M35 RCC slab with thick sariya requires different tooling and time compared to multiple holes in standard brickwork. Below are realistic indicative scenarios to help you plan your project.

Indicative Core Cutting Prices

2 to 5 Inch Holes (Multiple / Nearby)

Starts from ₹500 / core

Ideal for builders, contractors, or homeowners needing 2 to 3+ core holes (for AC copper pipes, water conduits, plumbing drainage) at a nearby Kanpur location with standard access.

Single 2 to 5 Inch Core Hole

₹700 – ₹800 / core

Indicative rate for a single standalone hole (such as one split AC hole). Covers equipment mobilization, anchor bolt setup, wet slurry containment, and travel to your locality.

7 Inch Core Hole (Chimney / Ventilation)

₹800 – ₹1,500 / core

For kitchen chimneys and exhaust fans. Multiple holes or standard brick starts around ₹800. Single holes in heavy RCC beams/slabs, greater wall depth, or longer travel distances typically range from ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 (higher for deep or heavily reinforced concrete).

Indicative Size-Wise Starting Range

Core Diameter Typical Application Indicative Starting Range Pricing Notes
2 to 3 Inch (50 - 75mm) Split AC pipes, RO water lines, electrical conduits Starts from ₹500 (multiple) | ₹700 - ₹800 (single) Depends on brick vs RCC and total quantity
4 to 5 Inch (100 - 125mm) Toilet soil pipes, drainage stacks, utility sleeves Starts from ₹600 (multiple) | ₹800 - ₹900 (single) Rebar density & slab thickness affect time
6 to 7 Inch (150 - 175mm) Kitchen chimney duct, commercial exhaust vents Starts from ₹800 (brick/multiple) | ₹1,000 - ₹1,500 (RCC/single) Heavy core drill rig required; downward tilt included
8 to 12 Inch+ HVAC ducting, fire risers, road test cores Subject to site inspection & scope Custom quotation based on depth and access
RCC Slab / Wall Cutting Door openings (3x7 ft), stair/lift cutouts Per running foot / square foot Calculated by slab depth (4"–12") & rebar reinforcement

What Affects Core Cutting Cost?

  • Core Diameter & Depth: Larger diameters (6", 7", 8"+) and deeper penetrations (thick retaining walls or foundation beams) require larger drill rigs, specialized segment bits, and extended drilling time.
  • Material (Brick vs. RCC): Drilling through standard brick is faster. Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) containing heavy sariya (12mm, 16mm, 20mm TMT bars) requires diamond grinding at controlled RPM with continuous water cooling.
  • Number of Cores (Volume): When you have multiple holes on the same site, our equipment mobilization and setup costs are distributed across all holes, lowering the effective rate per hole.
  • Distance & Mobilization: Kanpur is our primary service market. For outstation locations (such as Unnao, Lucknow, Fatehpur), transport and travel time are factored into the overall project quote.
  • Site Accessibility & Working Height: Ground-level indoor drilling vs exterior high-elevation penetrations requiring scaffolding, safety harnesses, or special anchor setups.
  • Power & Water Availability: Our diamond core rigs run on standard 220V power and require a continuous water supply to lubricate the bit and suppress slurry dust.

Why Multiple Holes Reduce Per-Hole Cost

Setting up a diamond core drill rig involves transporting heavy machinery, mounting the column, anchoring to the concrete with high-tensile anchor bolts, connecting the water coolant system, and preparing slurry vacuums. Whether we drill one hole or ten holes, the mobilization and setup effort is virtually the same.

Therefore, when contractors, builders, or homeowners bundle multiple penetrations (such as AC holes + plumbing cores + chimney exhaust) into a single site visit, we can pass significant savings on to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does core cutting start from ₹200?

₹200 is our entry-level baseline rate for specialized shallow cuts, high-volume project batches, or minor utility openings under ideal site conditions. Actual cost depends on hole diameter, depth, material hardness, and total scope.

What is the minimum visiting charge for a single hole?

Because transporting professional stand-mounted rigs, anchors, and slurry management equipment requires dedicated mobilization, a single 2 to 5 inch core hole typically costs around ₹700 to ₹800 depending on your Kanpur locality and concrete type.

Why does a 7-inch hole cost more than a 4-inch hole?

A 7-inch core bit has a significantly larger surface area, requiring higher-torque machinery, slower rotational grinding speeds, more diamond segment wear, and greater water flow to manage concrete slurry cleanly.

Do you charge extra for cutting through heavy steel rebar (sariya)?

Standard reinforcement in residential slabs is accounted for in our normal RCC estimates. However, if a structural beam has extremely dense 16mm to 20mm TMT rebars or requires deep structural sectioning, the quote is adjusted based on inspection.
