Cladding work is classified based on the type of material used, such as marble, granite, or composite panels.
Example: Classifying a project as marble cladding work if marble slabs are used for the exterior.
Specifications for the dimensions and acceptable tolerances of cladding materials. The materials should be cut to size with precision, ensuring proper fit and finish.
Example: Ensuring marble slabs are cut to precise dimensions with a tolerance of ±2 mm.
Physical properties such as moisture absorption, hardness, and specific gravity must meet the specified standards for each type of cladding material.
Example: Conducting a moisture absorption test on granite slabs to ensure they meet the required standards.
Procedures for sampling cladding materials to verify they meet the specified quality standards before use in construction.
Example: Taking samples from different batches of marble slabs to test for consistency in color and quality.
Marble slabs must be hard, sound, and homogeneous. They should be polished to a smooth finish and free from any visible defects. The slabs are fixed using a specified mortar mix.
Example: Installing polished marble slabs on the walls of a hotel lobby for a luxurious appearance.
Veneer work involves applying thin sheets of decorative material over a structural surface. This can be marble, stone, or other materials.

Example: Installing marble flooring in the entrance hall of a government building for a prestigious look.
Stone veneering involves fixing thin stone slabs to walls using cramps and mortar. Proper support and alignment are crucial for a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Example: Applying granite veneer to the exterior of a shopping mall to create an attractive facade.
Specifications for using Dholpur stone for wall lining. The stone must be cut to the required size and shape, and fixed with appropriate mortar and cramps.
Example: Using Dholpur stone to line the walls of a heritage building restoration project.

Example: Cladding the exterior of a residential building with Kota stone for a robust and weather-resistant finish.
Additional specifications for stone wall lining work, particularly at heights greater than 10 meters from the ground.
Example: Measuring and calculating the extra cost for installing stone cladding on a high-rise building.
Dry stone cladding involves fixing stone slabs without using mortar. Instead, mechanical fixings like cramps and brackets are used.
Example: Installing dry stone cladding on a modern office building to achieve a contemporary aesthetic.
Specifications for the steel framework required to support dry stone cladding. The framework must be designed to bear the load of the stone slabs.
Example: Constructing a steel framework to support the dry stone cladding of a high-rise office tower.
Details about the use of adjustable stainless steel cramps to fix cladding materials securely.
Example: Using adjustable stainless steel cramps to fix marble cladding on the exterior of a luxury hotel.
Specifications for wall lining using various materials, including timber and plywood. The lining should be properly fixed and finished.
Example: Installing decorative plywood wall lining in a conference room for an elegant and professional appearance.
Using veneered decorative plywood for wall linings and partitions. The plywood should be of high quality and properly finished.
Example: Applying veneered decorative plywood to the walls of a high-end retail store for a refined look.
Specifications for using coir veneer boards for wall linings and other applications. The boards should be durable and properly finished.
Example: Using coir veneer boards for interior wall linings in an eco-friendly office space.
Details about using prelaminated particle boards for cladding and wall lining. The boards should meet specified standards for quality and durability.
Example: Installing prelaminated particle boards in a commercial building for a cost-effective and attractive wall finish.
Specifications for using pressed ceramic tiles for skirting and dado work. The tiles should be properly laid and finished.
Example: Installing ceramic tiles in the skirting and dado of a hospital corridor for easy maintenance and durability.
Specifications for using laminated sandwiched composite panels for cladding. The panels should be properly fixed and finished to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal.
