About Complexes & Business Premises
A driveway that cracks is an inconvenience. A visitor parking area, access road or loading bay that fails at a complex or business premises means a body corporate meeting, a tenant complaint, or a delivery truck that can't get in. Paving for complexes and business premises around Germiston, the East Rand and Johannesburg means working on shared property while people still live and trade there, and still need to get in and out every day. We handle brick and concrete paving for body corporates, managing agents, landlords and business owners — visitor parking, access ways, walkways, entrances and loading areas — sized for real vehicle and foot traffic, and programmed so the site keeps functioning while we're on it. One crew handles the excavation, base, paving and edging, so there's one contractor to hold accountable, not three.

Our Process
- 1
Assess and Quote
We do a free, on-site visit to measure the area, check the existing surface and drainage, and talk through the traffic it needs to carry — resident and visitor vehicles, delivery trucks or forklifts. You get a written quote before anything starts, with no payment upfront and the same price for body corporates, businesses or municipal clients.

Excavate and Compact the Base
We excavate to design level and build up a compacted sub-base in layers, sized for the traffic the area will actually carry. This is the stage that gets skipped on a cheap quote, and it's the reason most complex and business paving fails within a year or two rather than lasting well over a decade.
- 3
Lay Paving with Drainage and Edging
We lay interlocking brick or concrete pavers over the compacted base, with falls set in so stormwater runs to a drain rather than pooling against a building or shopfront. Every exposed edge is finished with concrete or natural stone edge restraints so the paving can't spread under vehicle load.
- 4
Phase the Work
We programme the job in sections so residents, staff and customers can still get in and deliveries aren't blocked for the whole project. Where needed, we work outside peak hours or fence off one section at a time, and you know the sequence before we start.

Complexes & Business Premises FAQ
What's the difference between tar and paving for a complex or business parking area?
Tar (asphalt) goes down as one continuous surface and suits large parking areas, access roads and higher-speed traffic well, while brick or concrete paving is laid unit by unit, which makes it easier to lift and relay a section if services need to go in underneath, and gives more control over the finish around entrances and walkways. Both need the same thing underneath: a properly compacted base and correct falls for drainage. We do both, and on a site visit we'll tell you which one actually suits the traffic and the budget rather than pushing whichever we'd rather quote.
How long does paving for a complex or business premises take?
It depends on the area and how much of the existing surface needs to come out first, but a typical shared parking area or access way takes a few days to a couple of weeks from excavation to finished, edged paving. Larger sites, or ones with drainage work involved, take longer. We'll give you a programme with the quote, not just a start date, so you know roughly when each section will be affected.
Can you pave while our business or complex stays open?
Yes, this is normal for the work we do on complexes and business premises. We programme the job in sections, fence off one area at a time where possible, and coordinate around deliveries, resident access or trading hours rather than closing the whole site. We'll walk you through the sequence before we start so you can plan around it.
How much does paving for a complex or business premises cost?
We don't publish a rate card because the price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the base or existing surface, the traffic it needs to carry and whether old paving needs removing first. We give a free, written, on-site quote before any work starts, with no charge for the visit and no upfront payment required to buy materials.
Who is responsible for paving visitor parking or common areas in a sectional title complex?
In most sectional title schemes, paving and surfacing of common property, including visitor parking, access roads and walkways, falls under the body corporate's responsibility to maintain, repair and keep in good order. Trustees or a managing agent typically arrange the quote and sign-off, but funding usually comes from the scheme's levies or a special levy for larger work. We're used to working with trustees and managing agents and can put together whatever documentation the scheme needs.
