ACP Cladding Services in India

IBS is a service company, not a material supplier. We deliver ACP cladding projects end-to-end — from site survey, design and BOQ preparation through material procurement, in-house fabrication, substructure execution, installation, snag rectification and handover. Supply-only or labour-only scopes are possible on request, but the full-stack delivery is our standard model.

All leading panel brands available in the Indian market. We do not push any single brand. The specific brand, thickness, coating grade, finish and fire rating is selected per your project's specification, and we procure to that spec.

Yes. IBS delivers ACP cladding projects pan-India — Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The delivery timeline and execution standard does not change with geography. We operate at the same pace and quality whether the project is in Mumbai or in a Tier 2 city.

Timelines depend on scope, drawings readiness, material lead times and site conditions. For a small project with drawings already in hand and standard panel specifications, execution can be wrapped inside a few weeks of PO. Larger or multi-phase facades typically run longer to accommodate substructure, fabrication and installation sequencing. A precise timeline is shared in the commercial proposal after the site survey.

No. GST is charged on a separate line in every IBS commercial proposal as per current Indian tax norms. The line-item rate quoted is exclusive of GST. TDS is deducted at source per applicability.

Material warranties on the panels themselves flow through from the panel manufacturer — the OEM warranty certificate is handed over at project sign-off. IBS itself stands behind the installation workmanship through the defect liability period: if any part of our installation fails, separates or does not perform as expected in the period immediately following handover, we rectify it at no additional cost. Routine post-installation maintenance and repairs beyond the defect liability window are available as a separate engagement and charged accordingly.

Yes. GFC drawings — facade elevations, panel set-out, substructure design, fixing schedules, detail sheets — are prepared in-house by IBS as part of standard project scope. Where the client's architect or structural consultant has prepared their own drawings, IBS works to those and supplements with shop drawings for fabrication and installation.

Yes — this is the standard mode of working on enterprise projects. IBS coordinates with the client's architect, interior designer or project management consultant throughout — drawings approval, site instructions, RA bills, snag walk-throughs. The vendor relationship sits with the client; IBS treats the architect or PMC as the delegated technical authority.

Material certificates — BIS conformance, fire rating, manufacturer test reports — flow through from the panel manufacturer and are handed over to the client at sign-off. Installation is executed per National Building Code (NBC) provisions and the manufacturer's recommended installation specifications. For fire-rated cladding projects, IBS works to the specified compliance grade and the corresponding installation standards.

Yes. IBS holds Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) clearance and is an approved vendor with Adani Airports — both qualifying our team to work inside airport terminals airside and landside. ACP cladding for airport lounges, retail concessions, F&B outlets within terminals, duty-free zones and ground-handling office buildings has been delivered under this clearance.

BFSI (HSBC, HDFC ERGO, Godrej Finance), retail and showrooms (Reliance Retail, Aditya Birla Retail, Accessorize), aviation (Adani Airports), manufacturing and industrial (EPSON, Sagility), hospitality and F&B (Society Tea), healthcare and sanitaryware showrooms (Duravit), educational institutions, and government and public-sector buildings.

IBS uses galvanised iron box sections, mild steel sections or aluminium T-grid framing depending on facade engineering — the choice depends on facade height, wind loading, thermal expansion behaviour, panel weight and corrosion exposure. The substructure is built by IBS's own civil and engineering team, never subcontracted, because subcontracted substructure is where most cladding failures originate. Keeping the work in-house means accountability stays with us when anything needs to be revisited.

Yes. Curved facades, faceted surfaces, sloped column wraps, non-rectangular panel layouts and complex corner returns are all within scope. The fabrication tolerance and substructure detailing for non-orthogonal work is more demanding, and we plan it with appropriate extra time in the GFC drawings stage.

Yes. Where the project specification calls for fire-rated panels — FR grade per IS norms or A2 grade per EN 13501-1 — IBS procures the specified material, executes installation to the manufacturer's fire-rating-preserving guidelines, and hands over the corresponding material certificates at sign-off. Fire-rated installations are more common on hospital, hotel, high-rise office and airport projects.

Jointing approach is selected per design intent and exposure conditions. Common options include silicone-sealed joints, dry rubber gasket joints, mechanical clip systems, structural-glazing-style sealant joints and rivet-fixed flush joints. The choice is made during GFC drawing development with the architect, balancing aesthetic intent, weather sealing requirements and serviceability.

Thermal expansion is accommodated in the substructure design and the joint spacing — both are calculated to the panel manufacturer's expansion coefficient and the local climate band. For rainscreen detailing on tall facades, we design the substructure cavity to allow drainage and pressure equalisation per NBC guidance and the panel manufacturer's recommendations.

Yes — this is one of the reasons clients pick IBS over a pure-play cladding vendor. We fabricate panel sets that pre-incorporate signage fixings, wiring routes for halo-lit and channel letter signage, recesses for LED strip lighting and openings for raised lettering. Signage and ACP cladding are part of the same project rather than two vendors arguing on site.

Yes. IBS undertakes replacement and rework on existing ACP cladding — whether the original work was executed by IBS or by another vendor. This is treated as a separate engagement (not under any prior warranty obligation), scoped against a site survey, and quoted commercially per the rework scope.

Yes. As-built drawings showing the executed panel layout, substructure design, fixing schedule and any site-stage modifications from the GFC drawings are handed over at project sign-off, along with material warranty certificates from the panel manufacturer and IBS's own workmanship undertaking covering the defect liability period.
