Definition
Interlocking Paver Blocks are small, solid, unreinforced pre-cast concrete blocks used for exterior flooring. They are laid tightly together in specific patterns (like herringbone or zig-zag) over a compacted sand bed. Friction and sand in the joints "interlock" them, creating a highly durable pavement that can bear heavy loads without requiring a concrete slab underneath.
Practical Example
A developer chooses interlocking paver blocks for the apartment society’s driveway instead of asphalt. Six months later, an underground water pipe bursts. Unlike asphalt which must be severely excavated and patched, the maintenance crew easily un-clicks the pavers, fixes the pipe, and replaces the exact same blocks flawlessly.
Application in Superwise
Pavers are tracked precisely during execution. In Superwise, the flooring subcontractor bills for pavers based on the installed square area. The software checks the BOQ allowed limit to ensure the subcontractor's claimed area for "Driveway Paver Installation" perfectly mirrors the project's landscape planning blueprint.
