Paving block installation in Kenya

Install paving blocks to an approved site and drainage design.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: Lay ten square metres of pedestrian paving in a small yard after competent base/drainage assessment. Customer approves block type, pattern, edges and finished levels. No vehicle loading, buried-service excavation or foundation/retaining design is assumed. Full base quantities follow the actual assessment; decorative block choice does not establish pavement capacity.

Who is the first customer?

Compound owners and small property managers.

Test the offer

Survey a small accessible area and obtain competent drainage advice.
