Hi Wazuans, i am thinking of having paving blocks for my humble abode and would like to know the cost of these blocks per square metre/any alternative. do they require specialised fitting?

Humble abode? - Be proud of your achievement and walk with your head high, even brag kidogo!

Anyway try Bamburi blox RINK HAPA. I understand that they cost about 800 bob per sq mtr.

NB: i also see blocks made by jua kali vendors kwa roadsides but i dont know about their quality.

@ZZE123, the company is called Kobe Concretes. If using new by-pass from Cabanas when you pass kagundo road check for a doom shaped mabati building (near Kasarani river bridge). For quality, i asked to see their KBS report. I also visited to see the machine they were using and checked specification for machine
