Usually for new project you can tell from the skeleton pics during construction phase if your walls are poured concrete..and dev will mention in plans that is a structural wall cannot hack off.
Interior non load bearing walls some will use big size AAC lightweight concrete blocks. These are roughly the size of two car batteries. Save on labour since assembling 100 blocks is faster than laying 600 small bricks roughly the size of a phone box.
Haha unfortunately for my case, i bought an unsold unit. Its already completed 1 year by the time i discovered it. But thanks for the very useful info!

Hi, you can get your contractor to remove the paint and skim coat to reveal if it's concrete slab. Just start at small portion of the wall. If he don't understand, u can show him my photo.
For removal, they have to chip away manually. Can't use chemical. Do note, cement concrete will gives off cement dust thus u need to seal it with waterproofing. I have 3 coats of waterproofing (susu).
Yup i scrolled through all ur threads to learnt that. Thank you so much!
Reaso. Why i ask what method ur contractor uses bcos i tot manual labour, i might wanna kaki lai. Save up abit and spend on other things for the house. Not sure if too ambitious haha
