Block paving pricing.

[CEP85]

Hello people just a quick question about block paving pricing. I've been working on site paving for a few years now and I'm trying to get started up on my own. I've seen prices per sqm (say £90). Is that just for the prep and laying? Is that inclusive of type 1,blocks, sand and any labour? Obviously you'd charge the extra for any skip or grab. Just wondering. Thanks

Price for block paving is for everything, skips, drainage all materials, labour etc.

Really? So drainage pipes, collars, aco channels shingle are including in the sqm2? Surely that be extra on the price

Thanks for the link digerjones. Had a look and it doesn't include drainage which makes sense to me. I'm in London which I know is more expensive. I'm just getting going so hiring all the plant which isn't cheap.

£60/m2+VAT for the paving then the excavation, subbase, edges and drainage on top of this.
