Hello everyone,
I have a quick question regarding the prices of Poroton and aerated concrete.
The background is that our architect made a "small" mistake in the specifications for the interior walls.
He accidentally requested Plan perforated bricks instead of aerated concrete (to be supplied and professionally installed). Unfortunately, this only came to light afterward, when the contract had already been awarded. The structural builder has now sent a change order, stating that aerated concrete is over 30% more expensive per square meter net. (24 cm (9.5 inches) perforated bricks = 49.22 Euros/m² and aerated concrete = 65.29 Euros/m²). The same applies to the 17.5 cm (7 inches) “stone” – bricks = 37.82 Euros/m² and aerated concrete = 49.40 Euros/m².
Are these prices reasonable, or does this seem like I am being overcharged?
Many thanks in advance for your assessment.

Sorry, but everything mentioned so far is basically clear to me, but it does not answer the fundamental question.
