AAC Blocks Price per Piece in the Philippine Market

The AAC blocks price per piece in the Philippines is generally higher than the price of a conventional Concrete Hollow Block (CHB). But comparing unit prices alone can be misleading.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, factory-manufactured wall material designed for faster installation, thinner joints, and reduced finishing work. Because AAC blocks are larger and installed using thin-bed mortar, they can lower labor requirements, shorten construction timelines, reduce structural dead load, and eliminate standard heavy plastering when direct skim-coat finishing is appropriate.

Pricelist as of August 2026

Estimated per-piece prices are calculated from published square-meter prices using 8.33 blocks per m². Prices are VAT-inclusive but exclude delivery, accessories, thin-bed mortar, and installation. Final prices depend on the selected compressive-strength grade and are subject to quotation.

AAC Block Cost vs. CHB: Key Takeaways

• Upfront cost: A traditional Concrete Hollow Block (CHB) normally has a lower price per piece. However, AAC blocks are substantially larger, so comparing one AAC block with one CHB does not reflect equivalent wall coverage.
• Total installed cost: AAC uses accurately sized blocks and thin-bed mortar, a specialized adhesive applied in thinner joints than conventional masonry mortar. This can reduce mortar consumption, installation labor, material handling, waste, and project duration.
• Faster wall installation: The larger size and lighter weight of AAC blocks allow installers to cover more wall area per block, helping contractors complete wall works faster and move sooner to succeeding trades.
• Finishing and operating savings: AAC walls can receive an appropriate direct skim-coat finish without standard heavy plastering. Their built-in thermal insulation also reduces heat transfer through walls, which may lower cooling demand and electricity costs over the building’s lifetime
