Aluminium composite panel (ACP) cladding for corporate facades, BFSI branches, retail showrooms and airport lounges. In-house fabrication and civil execution. Pan-India.
Last updated: 26 May 2026
In Short
Impulse Branding Solutions delivers ACP cladding from survey to handover across India: from site survey and design through fabrication, substructure execution and installation. Pan-India delivery at one pace, with no subcontracted substructure work. Approved vendor with HSBC, Reliance Retail, Adani Airports, EPSON, Duravit and HDFC ERGO.
Fifteen years of executing ACP cladding for enterprise, retail and aviation clients across India, single-team delivery, in-house civil and engineering, BCAS-cleared for airport work.
What We Make
ACP cladding is rarely deployed in a single uniform way across an enterprise project. A facade typically integrates with fascia signage, column cladding, soffit treatment and internal branding, each with different fabrication tolerances, substructure detailing and visual continuity requirements. IBS undertakes the full application range below as part of the same project, under one project manager, to a single visual specification.
Print Branding · Type 01
Full-building or wing facades, including curtain-wall-style ACP applications for corporate offices, BFSI branches and manufacturing facilities. We engineer the substructure to the facade's wind loading, thermal expansion and seismic requirements per the National Building Code. Suitable for ground-up new builds and retrofits over existing masonry or framed structures.
Print Branding · Type 02
ACP fascia panels that double as the substrate for channel letters, halo-lit signage, raised lettering and box-up branding. We integrate the cladding fabrication with the signage fixings during fabrication, not after, so wiring routes, fixing points and visual joints align with the brand mark layout from the first panel onwards.
Print Branding · Type 03
Structural column wraps for portico cladding, lobby columns, branch entrance pillars and parking-level signage columns. We fabricate panel sets to the column's exact perimeter, minimising joints and concealing the substructure behind a clean, continuous surface.
Print Branding · Type 04
Underside cladding for canopies, overhangs, drive-throughs and branch entry porticos. Soffit work needs particular attention to substructure ventilation, condensation handling and load reversal, all handled in-house by our civil team.
Print Branding · Type 05
ACP feature walls for reception areas, brand lounges, conference room backdrops and showroom statement walls. Internal applications open up brushed, mirror and wooden-finish panel options that aren't always practical externally, and integrate cleanly with adjacent interior trades.
Print Branding · Type 06
Full storefront and branch-front cladding integrating signage, panel jointing, lighting recesses and glazing interfaces. BFSI branches and retail showrooms are where ACP cladding has to coexist with the strictest brand-guideline enforcement. Our team has executed this at scale for HSBC, Reliance Retail and Aditya Birla Retail.
Scope of Work
Every IBS ACP cladding engagement runs from survey to handover under one contract. The scope below is what we routinely execute on a standard enterprise project, in-house and under a single project manager. Components can be scoped down, for example, panel fabrication only, or installation only, if the client already has another vendor handling part of the chain. But the full-stack delivery is what most enterprise procurement teams ultimately ask for.
Ready when you are
Share the site, the scope and the date you need it working. We quote against a BOQ with every component itemised, and the first site visit carries no charge.
How We Deliver
The process below is the standard sequence for an enterprise ACP cladding engagement. Smaller projects compress some steps; very large or multi-site rollouts add governance layers, steering committee reviews, milestone certifications, MIS reporting. The structure is the same.
Once you enquire: through the website form or WhatsApp. We schedule a site visit at your project location within 48 hours. The site survey captures structural conditions, dimensions, existing substrate, access constraints, neighbouring trades and any drawings already in hand. The output is a written site assessment we share back with you.
We work with your drawings and your architect or PMC to freeze the scope. A Bill of Quantities is prepared per your specification, panel brand, thickness, coating, finish, fire rating, substructure system, jointing approach and special items like curved sections, signage integration and lighting recesses. The BOQ is shared for your review and aligned before any commercials are quoted.
IBS shares a detailed commercial proposal against the agreed BOQ. The proposal carries unit rates by line item with GST as a separate line. We do not publish standard rate cards: every project is scoped to its specification.
On commercial agreement, IBS prepares Good For Construction drawings, facade elevations, panel set-out, substructure design, fixing schedule and detail sheets at critical junctions. These go to your architect, PMC or technical team for approval. We do not proceed to fabrication until GFC drawings are signed off.
Materials are procured per the approved specification. Fabrication runs at IBS's own workshop, cutting, routing, edge folding, panel preparation. Quality checks happen at the bench before panels leave the workshop. Substructure fabrication runs in parallel where possible so site assembly is uninterrupted.
The site team executes installation per the fabrication and substructure sequence, integrates with adjacent trades on site, and runs through the snag list with your team or PMC at completion. We hand over as-built drawings, material warranty certificates from the panel manufacturer, and IBS's own workmanship undertaking covering the defect liability period.
Why Buyers Choose IBS
Selecting a vendor for ACP cladding is rarely about who can supply the cheapest panel. It is almost always about who can hold accountability across a multi-trade scope, deliver to a hard deadline, and not push a coordination burden back onto the client. IBS's positioning is built around those exact pressures.
The single line that most defines how IBS is set up. The substructure work, galvanised framing, anchors, structural integration with the existing building, is the part of an ACP project where most quality failures and timeline slippages originate, because most cladding vendors job-work it out to a small civil contractor. IBS has its own civil and engineering team. The substructure is built in-house, supervised by our project manager, signed off by us. Accountability does not split.
One vendor from the first site survey to the post-installation snag walk-through. No three-way coordination between a fabricator, a civil contractor and a signage vendor, and no finger-pointing when a panel separates from a substructure that was built by someone else. The client's project manager talks to IBS's project manager. That is the entire chain.
A facade in Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad or Delhi ships and installs on the same timeline as a project in Mumbai. We do not operate a Mumbai-only delivery model with an out-of-state surcharge. The cost and speed pattern is the same across India: which matters for enterprise clients rolling out branch networks or showroom programmes city by city.
IBS holds Bureau of Civil Aviation Security clearance, which qualifies the team to execute work inside airport terminals, both landside and airside. ACP cladding inside airport lounges, retail concessions, branded F&B outlets and ground-handling office buildings sits behind BCAS, and most cladding vendors simply cannot enter the secure perimeter. We are an approved vendor with Adani Airports.
The portfolio is named. Approved vendor with HSBC, Reliance Retail, Adani Airports, HDFC ERGO, Godrej Finance, EPSON and Duravit. Active client portfolio also includes Aditya Birla Retail, Accessorize, Sagility and Society Tea. The pattern is enterprise scale, brand-guideline-driven, deadline-sensitive, exactly the class of work where the in-house manufacturing and execution model proves itself.
ACP failures usually start behind the panel, in the framing nobody inspected. A vendor who subcontracts the substructure is not in a position to stand behind it. Here is how that compares.
| Typical Trading or Job-Work Vendor | IBS In-House Manufacturing | |
|---|---|---|
| Substructure and framing | Framing subcontracted, with the cladding vendor responsible only for the visible panel | IBS does not subcontract the substructure; framing and cladding are executed by the same team |
| Panel brand | Panel brand unstated at quotation and substituted on supply | Named ACP brands specified and confirmed at order stage |
| Accountability for the whole assembly | Panel supplier, fabricator, and installer each hold a share | Single-point accountability across design, fabrication, and installation |
| Aviation work | No security clearance for terminal or airside cladding | BCAS clearance held for aviation work |
Sectors We Serve
ACP cladding is sector-agnostic as a material, but the way it is specified, executed and signed off differs significantly by industry. A BFSI branch facade is governed by brand guidelines that change quarterly. A hospital cladding job is governed by infection-control adjacencies. An airport project is governed by BCAS protocols. IBS has executed across the sector matrix below, and the differences inform how we scope each engagement.
Branch facades, ATM lobby cladding, regional office fronts. Approved vendor with HSBC, HDFC ERGO and Godrej Finance. The pattern is brand-guideline enforcement, multi-city rollout, and weekend or after-hours execution windows to avoid disrupting branch operations.
See BFSI projects
Reliance Retail, Aditya Birla Retail and Accessorize sit in this segment. Showroom fronts, storefront cladding, mall-shop fascia and column cladding. Visual continuity with the brand identity is the dominant requirement, often with tight handover deadlines tied to store opening dates.
See retail projects
Airport lounge cladding, retail concession fronts inside terminals, ground-handling office buildings. IBS is an approved vendor with Adani Airports and holds BCAS clearance: which is what makes this work possible. Most cladding vendors cannot enter the perimeter. Project sequencing has to work around live airport operations.
See aviation projects
Academic buildings, administrative block facades, library and lecture-hall feature walls. Institutional projects come with longer approval cycles and committee-driven specifications, handled with the documentation rigour they require.
See education projects
EPSON and Sagility have been delivered in this segment. Production facility facades, office block fronts inside industrial campuses, branded entry porticos. Industrial sites add safety protocols, hot-work permits and contractor inductions to the standard execution flow.
Society Tea outlets and adjacent F&B applications. Hospitality cladding integrates more decorative panel options, wooden-finish, brushed, mirror, and tends to span both exterior and interior surfaces.
See hospitality projects
Duravit, a global premium sanitaryware brand, is a named IBS client in this space. Showroom and display facility cladding where panel finish, lighting integration and product display continuity all converge.
See healthcare projects
Public-sector building facades, government office cladding, public service centre fronts. Tendering rigour, L1 dynamics and BOQ-driven scope are the operating norms. IBS works to those structures comfortably.
Commercials
IBS does not publish ACP cladding rates online. The reason is straightforward, every project is scoped against drawings, site conditions, panel specification, substructure design and finish requirements that are unique to it. Publishing a rate card would mean either oversimplifying that range into a number that misleads procurement, or hedging it with so many conditions that it stops being useful. Instead, we work to a clear engagement model.
A standard IBS commercial proposal for an ACP cladding project includes: the site survey and structural assessment, design coordination, GFC drawings, all material per client specification, in-house fabrication, in-house substructure execution, installation, on-site coordination with adjacent trades, snag rectification, post-installation defect liability cover, and handover with as-built drawings and material warranty certificates from the panel manufacturer.
GST is charged on a separate line per current Indian tax norms. TDS is deducted at source per applicability. Items that are not standard inclusions, extended maintenance contracts, panel replacement beyond the defect liability period, large-scale post-installation modifications, are scoped separately if and when requested.
For genuine enterprise enquiries: a real project, drawings in hand or in progress, and a defined timeline, the site survey and initial scoping work is conducted at no cost. We absorb that effort because the survey is the only way to scope a project accurately, and pre-commitment cost is a fair burden for the vendor to carry.
