Concrete Cutting in Dammam – Wall Sawing & Core Drilling

Concrete Cutting in Dammam

Concrete cutting in Dammam means opening or altering a concrete wall, slab or floor with diamond saws and core rigs that cut reinforced concrete in straight lines with clean edges, instead of breaking it with hammers. At Aemar Al-Maryam General Contracting we carry out concrete cutting and coring in Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran, Qatif and the rest of the Eastern Province: door and window openings, core holes for AC and plumbing, slab openings for stairs and lifts, and floor cutting for service runs. Prices start from SAR 90 for a simple opening, SAR 75 per linear metre of cutting and SAR 140 for a door or window opening, with the final price set after a site inspection. Call or WhatsApp 0547879578.

You may have searched for “laser wall cutting”, a “concrete cutting saw” or “cutting a wall with a grinder”, but what you really want is the same thing: an opening of the exact size, no cracks in the building, and a home that does not turn into a dust-and-water workshop. This guide explains each method and when it fits, roughly what it costs, what needs an engineer or a permit, and what to send us on WhatsApp to get an estimate quickly.

Concrete Cutting in Dammam: What Does the Service Cover?

Our concrete cutting service in Dammam covers any job that needs a defined part of a concrete element opened up or removed without harming what surrounds it. The idea is simple: we mark the opening precisely, cut it with a diamond blade, wire or core bit cooled with water, then separate the block and lift it out in pieces, so the edges stay straight and the wall around them stays sound.

The method depends on the element. A load-bearing concrete wall is not an internal block wall, a slab is not a floor on grade, and an AC core is not a one-metre stair opening. That is why we do not quote a final price before we know the element, its thickness and its location, and it is why the estimate we send you stays close to reality.

■ Wall cutting

New doors, windows and passages between rooms, widening existing openings and removing a defined section of wall.

■ Coring and core holes

Round holes for AC, plumbing, drainage, extract fans, ducts, electrical and fire-fighting lines.

■ Slab cutting

Stair, lift, duct and light-well openings, with temporary props and controlled lowering of the pieces.

■ Floor cutting

Trenches for drainage and electrical runs, joints, and removing sections of a slab on grade.

■ Thick elements

Foundations, footings and large blocks with a diamond wire saw, under an engineering design where needed.

■ Removal and clean-up

Breaking the cut block into pieces, lifting it out and loading the debris, as agreed before work starts.

We also cut asphalt and concrete in driveways and car parks when a drainage or power line has to pass underneath, then reinstate the surface as agreed with the contractor laying the line. See the full service page for concrete cutting and coring.

Concrete Cutting Company in Dammam: How to Choose Who Does the Job

Choosing a concrete cutting company in Dammam starts with one question: will they bring the right machine for your wall thickness and opening size, or try to do everything with a grinder and a breaker? You can tell from how they talk to you before quoting; a specialist asks about thickness, wall type, floor level and location before naming a figure.

These practical points help you compare the offers you receive in Dammam:

  • ✓Inspection before the final price: photos are enough for an estimate, but the final price comes after seeing the site.
  • ✓Diamond equipment with water cooling: a wall, floor or wire saw and a core rig, not just a hand-held cutter.
  • ✓Scanning for rebar and services before coring: especially in slabs and near electrical boards and water lines.
  • ✓Honesty about what needs an engineer: a serious contractor tells you when an opening is a structural change and never offers to cut a column.
  • ✓Site protection: covered floors and furniture, and water and slurry vacuumed as work proceeds, especially in occupied homes.
  • ✓A clear scope: does the price include breaking, lifting out and hauling the debris? Agree on it before work starts.
  • ✓Real work you can see: photos and videos from finished sites, like our projects gallery.

Concrete Cutting Contractor in Dammam or a Demolition Labourer?

A concrete cutting contractor in Dammam works differently from a demolition labourer. The labourer opens the wall with a compressor or breaker and keeps hammering until the opening appears. That is acceptable for full demolition, but for a doorway in an occupied villa it leaves broken edges, cracks around the opening and dust in every room. A cutting contractor measures the opening, cuts its perimeter with a diamond saw, then breaks or lifts out the inner block once it is free of the wall, so any breaking is confined to the piece that is being removed anyway.

Concrete Cutting and Coring in Dammam: What Is the Difference?

Cutting gives you straight lines for square or rectangular openings such as doors, windows and stair openings, using a wall saw, floor saw or wire saw. Coring is a round hole made with a diamond core bit to pass a pipe or duct, such as an AC, extract-fan or drainage hole. Many jobs combine both: a large square duct opening may start with cores at its corners and then be cut between them, which is why we offer concrete cutting and coring in Dammam with one crew and a full set of equipment.

Laser Wall Cutting in Dammam: What People Actually Mean

“Laser wall cutting in Dammam” is how many people search for a clean, precise cut, but what actually cuts a concrete wall is a diamond wall saw or a diamond wire saw. The laser is used to mark the opening and set its lines and levels before cutting. We say this plainly because some adverts suggest a beam that melts concrete, and that does not exist in contracting work.

In research, high-power lasers have been used to strip the surface of concrete to a limited depth, from a few millimetres to around two centimetres, in experiments for decommissioning nuclear facilities. They have not become a way to cut a 20 cm reinforced wall in a home or building. So if someone offers you “laser cutting”, simply ask which machine will do the cutting; the answer will be a diamond saw.

The good news is that the result you are looking for when you type “laser wall cutting” is exactly what laser-guided diamond cutting delivers. This is how we work:

■ Lines set with a laser level

We project the horizontal and vertical lines of the opening onto the wall and check them against the door or window frame you will fit.

■ A saw on a fixed track

The wall saw runs on a track anchored to the wall, so the cut comes out ruler-straight with no waviness.

■ Edges ready for finishing

The cut face is nearly smooth, so the frame goes in with minimal plastering and patching.

■ Less vibration

No hammering on the wall itself, so cracks in nearby tiles and walls are far less likely.

The laser in one line

If your search is “laser wall cutting in Dammam”, what you get with us is precise diamond cutting along laser-marked lines, the method behind the clean edges you see in photos of good work.

Wall Cutting in Dammam Without Breaking

Wall cutting in Dammam without breaking means the perimeter of the opening is cut first with a diamond saw until the block is separated from the rest of the wall, then lifted out in pieces or broken once it is free, so the remaining wall is never hammered or shaken. This is what villa and apartment owners in Dammam ask for when they want a passage between two halls or a wider majlis entrance without cracking the walls and tiles around it.

We always distinguish between two kinds of wall. An internal block wall is lighter, can be cut with smaller saws and usually does not carry the roof. A reinforced concrete wall needs a wall saw and may be part of the structure, which is where scanning and an engineer come in before cutting, as explained in the permits section below.

Door and Window Openings in Concrete Walls in Dammam

Door and window openings in concrete walls are among the most common requests we receive in Dammam: adding a door to a new room, turning a window into a door onto the yard, or opening a window to let in light. We mark the opening on both faces of the wall, install temporary props and a supporting lintel above the opening where the design calls for it, cut the sides, top and bottom, and remove the block in stages.

Doorway Cutting in Dammam
Doorway cutting in a concrete wall: marked lines, temporary props and a diamond wall saw.

A new window in an external wall changes the facade, and a door in a load-bearing wall is a structural change; both may need an engineering report and a permit, as explained later. For details on doors and windows, see our door and window openings service.

Wall Openings for AC Ducts, Ventilation and Passages

Not every wall opening is a door. Many requests are rectangular openings for a concealed AC duct, a ventilation duct, a service hatch for a meter or electrical board, or a pass-through between two rooms. These are cut with a diamond saw when square, or cored when round, and what matters most is getting the position right the first time, so we match it to the AC or electrical plan before cutting.

Concrete Cutting Saws in Dammam: Which Machine Fits Your Job?

There is no single concrete cutting saw for every job in Dammam; the machine is chosen by where the cut is (wall, slab or floor), the thickness of the element and the shape of the opening. This table sums up the equipment we rely on and what each machine can do:

MachineUsed forApproximate capability
Wall sawDoors, windows and openings in walls and slabsDepth up to about 73 cm from one side in the heavy class
Floor sawService trenches, joints and removing slab sectionsDepth up to about 24 cm
Diamond wire sawThick elements, footings and large blocksNot limited by blade diameter; loops around the element
Core drillRound holes for AC, plumbing and ducts12 to 500 mm diameters on common rigs
14-inch hand-held cut-off sawShallow cuts, block walls and edge trimmingDepth up to about 12.5 cm

Note: The depths shown are capabilities of common classes of these machines; the actual depth on your site depends on the saw used and the rebar density.

Wall Saw

A wall saw is a large diamond blade that travels along a track bolted to the wall or slab. Because it runs on a track, the cut is perfectly straight and can be made flush against the floor or ceiling. Heavy wall saws reach a depth of about 73 cm from one side; anything thicker is cut from both sides or with a wire saw. This is usually the machine people mean when they search for “wall cutting machine” or “concrete cutting with a saw”.

Floor Saw

A walk-behind saw pushed across a floor or slab, cutting long straight lines up to about 24 cm deep. We use it to open a trench for a drainage pipe or power cable under an existing floor, to cut joints, or to cut an opening from the top of a concrete slab while the cut section is supported from below.

Diamond Wire Saw

A steel cable set with diamond beads that loops around the element and is driven by a hydraulic or electric unit with constant water cooling. Its advantage is that it is not limited by blade diameter, so it cuts thicknesses that circular saws cannot reach, with low vibration. It is used on foundations, footings, large blocks and engineered demolition work.

Wire Saw Cutting in Dammam
A diamond wire saw for thick elements; columns are cut only under an approved engineering design, such as planned demolition.

Core Drill

A rig anchored to the surface that turns a diamond barrel bit, removing a complete concrete core and leaving a clean round hole. Common rigs cover diameters from 12 to 500 mm, and they are the basis of concrete coring for AC, plumbing and ducts. We cover coring in detail in the next section.

Detection, Measuring and Fixing Equipment

Before cutting we use rebar detectors to locate the bars, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) when the slab is post-tensioned, plus a laser level for lines and levels. Just as important are the anchors and tracks that hold the saws, adjustable steel props that support slabs and blocks, and hoists and lifting gear that lower cut pieces instead of letting them fall.

For contractors and site supervisors

If you have a project in Dammam or the Eastern Province that needs only the cutting or coring part, we bring the machines and crew and carry out that part to your drawings and the supervising engineer’s instructions.

Concrete Coring and Core Drilling in Dammam

Concrete coring in Dammam means drilling round holes in walls, slabs or floors with a diamond core bit to pass AC, plumbing, drainage, extract-fan, duct and electrical lines without breaking. The bit removes a complete concrete cylinder, so the hole is exactly the size required and the pipe is easy to seal and insulate.

Core Drilling in Dammam
Core drilling with a rig anchored to the slab while water and slurry are vacuumed as work proceeds.

The diameter follows the pipe or duct that will pass through, not the other way round. Here is a simple guide to common sizes:

Approximate diameterCommon usesNote
Up to about 100 mmSplit AC (about 65 mm), small plumbing and electrical linesThe most requested size in apartments and villas
5 inch (about 125 mm)Drainage and ventilation pipes per the planSet by the outside diameter of the pipe
6 inch (about 150 – 160 mm)Kitchen and bathroom extract fans, small ductsWe check the fan route outside the building
8 inch (about 200 mm)Ventilation ducts and larger servicesRebar scan needed before coring
10 inch and largerCentral ducts and large service openingsSet after inspection; may need an engineer’s view

AC Core Holes in Dammam

A split AC hole is usually about 65 mm in diameter and drilled with a slight downward slope to the outside, so condensate drains out rather than back into the room, as manufacturers’ installation manuals specify. We position it with the AC technician so it sits close to the indoor unit and away from columns and beams.

Core Holes in Slabs and Beams

A core hole in a slab is possible once the rebar and services have been scanned, and in post-tensioned slabs a GPR scan is mandatory before any drilling. We core a beam only with a structural engineer’s approval of the position and diameter, because it carries the slab. For coring on its own, see our core drilling service.

Cutting a Wall with a Grinder in Dammam: When It Works and When It Does Not

Cutting a wall with a grinder in Dammam works for shallow cuts, small openings, block walls and trimming edges, but it cannot cut a thick reinforced concrete wall from one side; even a large 14-inch hand-held cut-off saw stops at about 12.5 cm deep. That is why people who start with a grinder often finish by breaking, and the same problems return: broken edges, cracks and dust.

Cut-Off Saw Cutting in Dammam
A hand-held cut-off saw with water mist suits small openings and shallow cuts.

When is a grinder enough?

  • ✓A small opening for an AC duct or electrical box in a block wall.
  • ✓A shallow cut within the blade depth, such as marking edges before removing plaster or tiles.
  • ✓Trimming the edges of a saw-cut opening, or cutting off a small projection.

When is it not enough?

  • ✓A reinforced concrete wall thicker than the blade depth, which is typical of load-bearing walls.
  • ✓A door or window opening that needs perfectly straight edges on both faces.
  • ✓Slabs, beams and any overhead work that needs fixing and support.

The cost of cutting with a grinder depends on the size of the job: small openings start from SAR 90, and anything larger is priced per linear metre or after inspection. Using the right saw from the start is often cheaper than a shallow grinder cut followed by breaking and repairs.

Slab Cutting in Dammam: Stair, Lift and Duct Openings

Slab cutting in Dammam is needed for a new stairwell, a home lift shaft, a central AC duct or a light well. It is one of the most delicate cutting jobs, because the slab carries itself and what is above it, and the cut block is heavy and overhead.

Slab Cutting in Dammam
Cutting an opening in a concrete slab with steel props on the floor below and barriers around the opening.

Our slab cutting follows four rules we do not compromise on:

  1. 1
    Engineering input first
    An opening in a slab is a structural change, so we work to a report or drawing from an engineering office that sets the size and strengthening.
  2. 2
    Props before cutting
    We install temporary steel props under and around the section to be cut on the floor below.
  3. 3
    Small, liftable pieces
    We divide the opening into pieces that can be lifted or lowered safely and never let a large block fall.
  4. 4
    Controlled lowering and clean-up
    Pieces are lowered with hoists or lifted from above, then the edges are cleaned and prepared for finishing.

In post-tensioned slabs, a GPR scan is mandatory before any cutting or coring, because cutting a stressed tendon releases a large force that can endanger the slab and the crew and lead to costly repairs.

Reinforced Concrete Cutting in Dammam: Rebar, Tendons and Structural Elements

Reinforced concrete cutting in Dammam uses the same diamond blades and wires, which cut concrete and steel together in a single pass; the difference lies in the planning, not the machine. With plain concrete it hardly matters where the cut runs, but in reinforced concrete cutting bars in the wrong place weakens the element, so we scan before we cut.

  • ✓Rebar detection: we locate the bars before coring and shift a core slightly where possible to avoid a main bar.
  • ✓GPR for post-tensioned slabs: to find the route and depth of the tendons before any drilling.
  • ✓Structural openings: for a door in a load-bearing wall or a slab opening, the engineer decides whether bars may be cut and what strengthening is required.
  • ✓Columns: we do not offer column cutting as a routine service; it is done only under an approved engineering design, such as planned demolition.
  • ✓Beams: no cutting or coring without a structural engineer’s approval.

Diamond Saw Cutting vs Manual Breaking

The difference between the two shows on the day of the work and in the weeks after it. This direct comparison helps you decide:

CriterionDiamond saw cuttingManual breaking
EdgesStraight and clean to the set sizeBroken and irregular, needing repair
Vibration on the buildingLow, as it cuts by abrasion, not impactHigh and repeated on walls and slabs
Cracks around the openingRare when design and support are respectedCommon in nearby plaster and tiles
DustFar less, as cutting is wetHeavy dust spreading through the space
RebarCut cleanly in the same passExposed, bent and cut afterwards
Thick sectionsWall saw or wire saw to suit the thicknessSlow, exhausting and more vibration
Total costClearer cutting price and less repair afterwardsMay look cheaper until the repair bill arrives

Concrete Sectioning in Dammam and Debris Removal

Concrete sectioning in Dammam does not end when the opening is free; the cut block has to be broken into pieces that can be carried, then lowered, loaded and hauled away. We agree with you from the start whether the price includes breaking and lifting out the block and whether you want the debris removed from site. When a job needs wider demolition than an opening, we refer it to our demolition and breaking service.

Concrete Cutting Prices in Dammam

Concrete cutting prices in Dammam at Aemar Al-Maryam start from SAR 90 for a simple opening or a core up to about 100 mm, SAR 75 per linear metre of wall or floor cutting, and SAR 140 for a door or window opening. These are estimated prices for usual sizes and thicknesses:

Type of workDetailsEstimated price (SAR)
Simple opening or core up to about 100 mmSplit AC (about 65 mm), small plumbing and electricalFrom SAR 90 per opening
5-inch core (about 125 mm)Drainage and ventilation per the planFrom SAR 140
6-inch core (about 150 – 160 mm)Extract fan or small ductFrom SAR 140
8-inch core (about 200 mm)Ducts and larger servicesFrom SAR 230
10-inch core and largerCentral ducts and large service openingsPrice after inspection, by diameter and thickness
Concrete wall or floor cuttingPer linear metre, usual thicknessesFrom SAR 75 per linear metre
Door or window opening in a wallCutting the perimeter and freeing the blockFrom SAR 140
Wall cutting jobBy area, floor level and accessFrom SAR 280
Slab opening (stairs, lift, duct)With props and controlled loweringPrice after inspection and engineering drawing
Wire saw and thick elementsFootings, foundations and large blocksPrice after inspection

Estimated prices: final price after site inspection and agreement. The final price depends on thickness, rebar density, floor level and access.

What makes the price go up or down?

  • ✓Thickness: thicker sections take longer and wear the blade more, and may need cutting from both sides.
  • ✓Rebar density: heavily reinforced concrete cuts more slowly than lightly reinforced concrete.
  • ✓Location and floor: cutting on an upper floor without a lift, or in a tight space, takes more effort.
  • ✓Overhead work: slabs need props, fixing and controlled lowering.
  • ✓Removal and haulage: breaking the block and taking debris off site is agreed as a separate item.
  • ✓Number of openings: several openings in one visit cost less than separate visits.

For the cost of your specific job: the price is set after a site inspection; send photos and sizes on WhatsApp 0547879578 for an estimate. Prices for our other services are in the estimated price guide.

A clear photo of the wall or slab, the size you need and the floor level are all we need to send you an estimate on WhatsApp.

When Do You Need an Engineer or a Permit to Cut a Wall or Slab in Dammam?

The practical rule: small service openings, such as AC and plumbing cores, usually do not affect the structure once scanned. A door or window in a load-bearing wall, a slab opening or any work on a beam is a structural change that needs a report from an accredited engineering office and may require a permit through the Balady platform. We work to the approved drawing, and we do not cut columns.

Type of workUsuallyWhat is required
AC, plumbing or electrical coreMaintenance that does not touch the structureScan for rebar and services before coring
Opening in an internal non-load-bearing block wallNon-structural changeConfirm the wall carries nothing
Door or window in a load-bearing wallStructural changeEngineering office report; a permit may be needed
New window in the facadeChange to the building’s exteriorUsually needs a permit
Slab opening (stairs, lift or duct)Structural changeEngineering drawing and strengthening; a permit may be needed
Beam or columnLoad-bearing elementNot touched without an approved engineering design

Two Balady services relate to this work: the “Building Restoration Permit”, for returning a building to its previous condition without changing structural elements, and “Add and Modify Building Components”, for adding, modifying or removing components in an existing building permit; both require a contract with an engineering office. If you want to know whether a wall is load-bearing, indicative signs include a thickness over 20 cm, a beam below it or a column above it, but the final word belongs to a civil engineer.

Safety During Concrete Cutting and Coring: Water, Dust and Site Protection

Diamond cutting is done wet, and the water does two jobs: it cools the blade or bit so it does not burn, and it stops fine silica dust, which harms the lungs, from spreading. That is why international occupational safety bodies treat wet cutting as a primary control for this dust. But water brings its own responsibility: grey slurry must not reach tiles or drains, and electrics must stay safe.

■ Vacuuming water and slurry

A wet vacuum draws off slurry as work proceeds, so it does not stain tiles or block bathroom drains.

■ Covering floors and furniture

Sheeting and protection boards on floors, covers on furniture and nearby doors, and the room sealed off where possible.

■ Safe electrics with water

Watertight connections and earth-leakage protection, with power isolated from the work area when needed.

■ Scanning before cutting

Detecting rebar, electrical and water routes, and GPR for post-tensioned slabs.

■ Supporting the cut block

Props and hoists, because the block is never left to fall and slabs are cut in small pieces.

■ Isolating the work area

Barriers and warnings for residents, and protective gear for the crew: glasses, gloves and ear protection.

If the home is occupied, we agree the timing with you, clear the area near the opening first and leave the place free of slurry and debris after the job, so you do not need a cleaning crew after us.

  • ✓Clear photos: of the wall or slab from both sides if possible, plus a wider shot of the whole room.
  • ✓Opening size: width and height for a door or window, or the diameter for a core, and its height above the floor.
  • ✓Wall or slab thickness: if you know it; it can be measured at the edge of a nearby door or window.
  • ✓Wall type: concrete or block, and whether a beam shows above the opening or a column is nearby.
  • ✓Floor level and access: which floor, whether there is a lift and how far debris must be carried.
  • ✓Power and water: the nearest power and water points to the work area.
  • ✓Location pin: share your location on WhatsApp so we can book the inspection.
  • ✓Drawing or engineering report: if the opening is in a load-bearing wall or a slab.

Concrete Cutting and Coring Steps on Site

  1. 1
    Review the requirement
    We review sizes and purpose and match them to the door, pipe or duct to be fitted.
  2. 2
    Scan and mark
    We detect rebar and services and set out the lines with a laser on the wall or slab.
  3. 3
    Protect
    We cover floors and furniture, set up vacuuming and isolate the work area.
  4. 4
    Support
    We install temporary props or a supporting lintel if the opening is structural or in a slab.
  5. 5
    Cut or core
    We work with the right machine and water cooling, dividing large blocks into pieces.
  6. 6
    Lift out and remove
    We lift and lower the pieces in a controlled way and load the debris as agreed.
  7. 7
    Clean and hand over
    We clean the slurry and edges, check the size with you and hand over an opening ready for finishing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid Before Cutting a Wall or Slab

  • ✓Opening a wall without knowing whether it is load-bearing: some walls carry the slab, and opening them without strengthening can cause sagging or cracks.
  • ✓Coring without scanning: hitting a water pipe, power cable or stressed tendon costs more than the opening itself.
  • ✓Relying on a grinder for a thick wall: a shallow cut followed by breaking loses the benefit of cutting.
  • ✓Not agreeing on debris: a large concrete block in the middle of a villa is a problem if no one agreed to remove it.
  • ✓Setting the size before buying the door or window: it is better to know the frame size first and cut to it.
  • ✓Neglecting tile protection: cutting slurry leaves stains that are hard to remove once dry.

FAQ

How much does concrete cutting cost in Dammam?

At Aemar Al-Maryam, prices start from SAR 90 for a simple opening or a core up to about 100 mm, SAR 75 per linear metre of cutting and SAR 140 for a door or window opening. Prices are estimates until site inspection and agreement.

How much is an AC core hole in Dammam?

A split AC hole (about 65 mm) starts from SAR 90; the price depends on wall thickness, floor level and the number of holes in one visit.

How much does it cost to open a door in a concrete wall in Dammam?

From SAR 140 for cutting the perimeter and freeing the block; the final price is set after inspection by thickness, size and whether props and a lintel are needed.

Does laser wall cutting really exist?

No laser in contracting work cuts a reinforced concrete wall; the cutting is done with a diamond wall saw or wire saw, and the laser sets the lines and alignment. That diamond cutting delivers the precise result people searching for it want.

Can a wall be cut with a grinder?

Yes for small openings, shallow cuts and block walls, but a 14-inch hand-held cut-off saw stops at about 12.5 cm deep, which is not enough for a thick reinforced concrete wall from one side.

What is the maximum thickness that can be cut?

Heavy wall saws cut up to about 73 cm from one side; thicker sections are cut from both sides or with a diamond wire saw, which is not limited by blade diameter.

Does a door in a load-bearing wall or a slab opening need an engineer or a permit?

Yes. It is a structural change that needs a report from an accredited engineering office and may require a permit through Balady. Small AC and plumbing cores usually do not affect the structure once scanned.

How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?

Indicative signs include a thickness over 20 cm, a beam below it or a column above it, but the final judgement belongs to a civil engineer after reviewing the drawings.

Does concrete cutting cause cracks in the building?

Diamond cutting works by abrasion, not impact, so vibration is low and cracks are rare when the design and support are respected. Cracks are far more common with manual breaking.

Why is water sprayed during concrete cutting?

Water cools the diamond blade and stops harmful silica dust from spreading; we vacuum the water and slurry as we go so it does not stain tiles or block drains.

What core diameter suits a split AC unit?

About 65 mm, sloped slightly downward to the outside so condensate drains out, as AC installation manuals specify.

Can you core a hole in a slab or a beam?

In a slab, yes, after scanning for rebar and services, with GPR if the slab is post-tensioned. A beam is cored only with a structural engineer's approval.

Does the service include breaking the cut section and removing debris?

Yes, if agreed before work starts: we break and lift out the block and load and haul the debris according to the agreed scope.

What should I send on WhatsApp for a quick price?
