Work out how much cabro you need
Measure the area, say what it is for, and this works out the square metres with wastage, the number of blocks and an itemised cost. It takes about a minute.
Blocks are counted at 50per m² (the true figure is 45–50 depending on shape). Costs use the prices in our current list; if a price is not published you can still send us the quantities and we reply with today's rate. What decides the price
1. The area
Measure in metres. Add a second area if the driveway, parking and walkway are separate rectangles.
Enter the size to see the m²
2. What it is for
Recommended: 60mm. 60mm handles the occasional water bowser or building-materials lorry that every home gets.
Use a different thickness:
3. Shape and colour
4. Wastage, laying and transport
For edge cuts, breakage and spares. 7% suits a simple rectangle; go higher for curves.
