I have been using APCO blocks for my construction and pretty happy with their service. Sometimes I have got the blocks same evening when I ordered early morning. My site location is J P Nagar 8th Phase. So probably its easier for them to get blocks from Kanakpura road factory.

I used AVS blocks for my house construction and they are good. I bought around 4500 blocks from them at the rate of 37. Their delivery was prompt too.

If u r in South Bangalore, I strongly recommend Dicon blocks. Price is in between local blocks and Apco blocks and quality is almost same as that of apco. Google it and u can find their website and contacts.

Mine is load bearing wall type of construction (no columns). So I am buying C grade 8x8x16 inch blocks at base price of 52+VAT+Transport. For non load bearing walls E-grade blocks should be good enough and the price will also be less.
