[jonnyc]

been asked to quote for some area in london private residence.
option 1.
Beiging black basalt 369 x 708 in courses . n
no problem costing that.

option2.

Beiging black basalt crazy paving!!!
this is to be cut/broken on site .
how would you cost this per sq mt based on say 25 sq mts
what sort of finish to jointing as this will be quite wide in places.
is this normally grouted or filled with resin and polished off.
there would also be a lot of wastage i think

Never did "crazy paving". But i'd say fill joints with sand, cement. And maby add 25%-30% on top of normal price, as it will take little longer to lay.

Crazy paving can be quicker to be fair as you're not having to line up joints so accurately. And you can use all sorts of off-cuts around the perimeter meaning you're not cutting to perfect joints all the time so marking is really quick too.

Though I dare say it wouldn't be so true in practise. I wouldn't say 30% would be needed though to be honest. A lot of time saved doing it crazy paving style.

jonnyc is cutting/braking on site , so it will take time . And it will take bit longer to fill joints , maby i'm wrong....
