Cheap vs Quality Paving Blocks

07 Dec 2020

Cheap paving blocks are certainly the target of buyers with limited budgets. However, after buying cheap paving blocks, we often have to swallow disappointment because the quality of the product is not good and it breaks quickly, not to mention the added service from the supplier or the manufacturer which sometimes makes us upset.

For that you must be wise to choose and decide in terms of buying paving blocks / conblocks that suit your needs. If your goal is to find cheap blocks and don't care about the short life span because the land in the location is temporary or lease, then your choice is right. But if the land is yours, you should reconsider, because buying quality blocks is part of long-term planning just like we build a house.

The benefits include

Here we provide an illustration if you buy cheap paving blocks compared to quality paving blocks. Example: Factory A sells a 6 cm thick block for IDR 90,000 per m2 with a service life of more than 10 years, Factory B sells a 6 cm thick block for IDR 50,000 per m2 with a service life of less than 2 years. Paving Installation Service Fee (including Stone Ash and Paving Stamper) IDR 50,000 / m2. If you add up the paving price from Factory A along with the installation service is Rp. 140,000 / m2 and the total paving price from Factory B and the installation service is Rp. 100,000 / m2. Stop! At this point, you certainly think you can save IDR 40,000 / m2. If your land is 500 m2, of course, the money you can save is IDR 20,000,000. Wow, quite a big number for sure. But wait, paving B hasn't been broken for 2 years. If in the future you regret and intend to dismantle old paving and replace it with better quality brickwork from Factory A, at least you have to pay costs such as: 1. Unloading paving costs 2. Buy new paving 3. Reinstallation costs, including costs others like throwing debris. From the illustration above, it is clear that if you choose cheap paving blocks with poor quality, then in total cost of ownership (TCO) you will pay a much higher price than buying quality paving blocks. The initial investment you have to spend to buy quality paving blocks is indeed greater, but in the future you will get many benefits because they have a much longer lifespan & make your property more valuable. The decision is yours!
