Approved Construction Materials

we’ve seen how poor cement, cracked tiles, or fake wires can silently ruin homes. That’s why we approve only site-tested, batch-verified, and brand-reliable materials before we build.

Materials We Approve Before We Build — The SCW Quality Standard

Materials make the home. Not all brands do.” In construction, a strong design is useless without strong materials. At SCW, we don’t just accept what’s available — We approve only those materials that match our performance, durability, and consistency standards. Because one weak batch of cement, one rejected tile lot, or one poor-quality pipe…can silently damage your home for years.

How SCW Approves a Material

CheckpointWhat We Do
Brand CredibilityKnown & trusted brand with consistent batch performance
Batch InspectionBatch no., expiry (if any), manufacturing unit, visible defects, or mismatch
Local TestingCement rubbing, brick drop test, sand feel test, tile tapping — basic site-level validation
Visual/Shape ConsistencyUniform shape, clean finish, no bends/warps, no cracks or deformities
Supplier ReliabilityDoes the vendor replace damaged stock without excuses?
Client Matching (for finishes)Does the tile, stone, paint or laminate match the sample chosen by the client?

We stay updated with product recalls and site-level reviews — any material with known issues is rejected immediately.

What We Reject — Even If It Saves Cost

We politely reject:

  • Cheap cement bags with no manufacturing print

  • Chipped or mismatched tile lots

  • Hollow bricks or handmade blocks

  • Sand with mud, dust, or salty smell

  • Fake/duplicate brand copies from local vendors

  • Unbranded plastic pipes or thin wires

  • Bent steel rods from scrap yards

  • Paints that peel within a year

💡 These may save a few thousand today — but can cost lakhs in repairs, leakage, and early damage.

Material Approval Photo Record

We click & store on-site photos of:

  • Cement batch before use

  • Tile lot before fixing

  • Bricks before unloading

  • Steel cutting layout before bending

  • Pipe joint layout before covering

All records are available on request — so you always know what’s going inside your walls.

Client Can Suggest Brands — But Final Approval Is Joint

You’re always welcome to:

  • Choose a tile / paint / laminate of your liking

  • Suggest a preferred brand

  • Ask us to verify or test it before purchase

We never push brands — we only push quality.
Final approval is always a joint decision between SCW and the client, based on performance and site fit.

A home’s beauty starts at the surface. A home’s strength starts in the materials.At SCW, we build both — from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. You're welcome to suggest brands you prefer for finishes like tiles, paint, or fittings. We’ll test them on-site, and if they meet SCW’s checklist, we’ll approve them. Final material selection is always a joint decision between the client and SCW.

No. We use materials that are reliable in quality and consistent in performance — whether they’re mid-range or premium. We reject fake, mismatched, or poor-quality items, but that doesn’t mean everything has to be expensive.

We check every material’s batch number, manufacturing unit, expiry (if any), and visible defects.
Basic on-site tests like cement rubbing, brick drop test, tile tapping, and sand feel test help us spot problems before use.

SCW only works with trusted vendors who replace damaged stock without excuses.
If a vendor consistently sends poor-quality materials, we stop working with them.

Yes. We maintain a photo record of key materials like cement batch, tile boxes, bricks, pipe joints, and steel cutting layouts. These records are available to the client on request — so you're never in the dark.

You can choose either:

  • Let SCW manage material supply (recommended for consistency, warranty, and accountability),

  • Or you can purchase materials yourself — but we’ll test and approve them before use. If a material fails our checks, we won’t install it.

Yes, but only after testing. If a new product is suggested (like eco-friendly blocks, waterproof putty, or quick-set cement), we’ll first test it on-site. If it passes our performance and consistency standards, we approve it.
