Buying Interlocking Versus Getting People To Make Them by Funseeka(m): 11:36am On Oct 09, 2011 |
Hey guys, There is this impression by my friends that already-made interlocking pavers don’t last. Most get broken overtime due to inferior mixing ratio of materials. Hence it’s better to contract it out and insist on good materials ratio. But I am skeptical about it, looking at the inconveniences Please experts in the house, does it really worth taking the pain to get people mould it for you instead of buying? Am humbly waiting for your comments. |

I have done both. Molded in my first project and bought pre-made for the 2nd. Pre-Made Cost Slightly More Expensive Speed Quick delivery Quality Lower Quality Supervision Minimal required to confirm delivery quantity Self Molding Cost Cheaper Speed Takes weeks to mold Quality Better Quality Supervision Needs more supervision to avoid sharp practices |

i have just completed 270 sqm of those interlocking stones. i bought all the materials and it was molded @ d site. i will post d estimate later on. instead of the normal 3bags for 10sqm, we used 4. despite that we still saved money.the ones for sale is not reliable. d main disadv. is the supervision & time factor. it took me almost a month to finish moulding. another secret of interlockin is to allow it enough time to harden. i finished mine since august,but i wont be setting them until decmber, so 4 good month of sittnig in d sun and hardening. more later. |

One cannot underestimate the advantage of self-molding (be it interlocking stones or blocks) in terms of cost and quality over pre-molded. The only advantage of the pre-molded is that it saves time. But if it takes time to build a house why not take time to have quality interlocks that can stand the test of time? Self molding is better. |
