Interlock paving cost per m² in Saudi Arabia

Published paver rates, opened 8 November 2026

QS Mind’s Riyadh roads page, opened 8 November 2026, prints market day 7 November 2026. Grey concrete interlocking blocks, 6 cm, rectangular or I-shaped, to Saudi standards, are SAR 23.80 per m². That row is a Riyadh factory price, delivery excluded, collected from the market on 30 April 2025. Grey 8 cm, for driveways and heavy traffic, is SAR 25.88 per m², the same factory basis, collected the same day. No coloured factory row was on this page. VAT is not stated. The page says that if the price excludes VAT, add 15%. That instruction is not a second listed price. Applied only to the 6 cm factory row, 23.80 × 1.15 = SAR 27.37. The installed-works page, market day also 7 November 2026, lists grey concrete interlock 6 cm on a 5 cm sand bed, compacted and joint-filled, kerbs excluded, at SAR 45 per m² in Riyadh, collected 1 November 2025. VAT is not stated, with the same 15% instruction. SAR 45 is supply and install of that described build-up. It is not added to SAR 23.80. No 8 cm supply-and-lay riyal was on the page.

Meyar’s hexagonal interlock, a shop in Al Majma'ah in the Riyadh region, prints one price per m² for each colour and thickness. The variation table opened the same day is: 6 cm cement SAR 20, black SAR 21, red SAR 19, yellow SAR 23, white SAR 35 and green SAR 35; 8 cm cement SAR 23, black SAR 25, red SAR 23, yellow SAR 27, white SAR 40 and green SAR 40. The headline SAR 19 is the low of that table, the red 6 cm row, not a price for every colour. The uni-shape product on the same shop matches those twelve prices except red at 8 cm, which is SAR 25 rather than SAR 23. The page says per square metre. It does not say the price includes laying. It prints a tax number and does not say whether VAT is inside the riyal, so 15% is not added. No price-list day is printed. Al Sarif’s article, published 4 October 2024 and modified 15 June 2025, says interlock in Saudi Arabia is usually SAR 18 to 45 per metre and that the price depends on thickness, type and manufacturer. That sentence is one band. It does not print a separate 6 cm or 8 cm riyal, so it is not used as either thickness.

GCCPricing’s Saudi rows are a different basis. On the pages opened the same day, 200 × 100 × 60 mm is SAR 125 per m², 200 × 100 × 80 mm natural is SAR 98 per m², and 200 × 100 × 80 mm coloured is SAR 107 per m². Each is a reference parity, supply only, last updated 26 October 2026. The governance note says the Saudi row is a calibrated parity, not a verified merchant survey. SAR 125 is not averaged with SAR 23.80, and SAR 107 is not a colour adder on the Meyar table. The Riyadh roads page does price edge restraint. A precast road kerb, about 50 × 30 × 15 cm, is SAR 14 per linear metre, delivery excluded, excluding 15% VAT, collected 4 May 2024. A precast garden kerb, about 50 × 30 × 10 cm, is SAR 24.16 per linear metre, delivery excluded, VAT not stated, collected 4 December 2024. Both were still on the page whose market day is 7 November 2026. They are alternative kerbs, not a sum, and neither is inside SAR 45, which excludes kerbs.

Pieces, bedding, edge and waste

The count does not depend on the country or the currency. For a rectangular installed module, pieces per m² = 1 ÷ (module length in metres × module width in metres). A 200 × 100 mm module is 0.20 × 0.10 = 0.02 m², so 1 ÷ 0.02 = 50 pieces/m². A 200 × 200 mm module is 25. A 300 × 300 mm module is 11.111…. Order pieces = pieces per m² × area × (1 + waste). The 5% used below is an illustrative allowance, not a manufacturer rule and not a percentage printed on the price pages. Bedding volume in m³ = area in m² × thickness in metres. Edge length for a rectangle = 2 × (length + width). If a kerb module length is known, piece count = edge length ÷ module length. A per-metre price is multiplied by metres, not by that piece count.

A 6 × 10 m plan is 60 m². At 50 pieces/m² the net count is 3,000. With the illustrative 5%, the order is 3,150 pieces. The perimeter is 2 × (6 + 10) = 32 m. If a 6 m vehicle entrance is a separate flush detail, the remaining edge is 26 m. The road kerb is about 50 cm long, so 32 ÷ 0.5 = 64 pieces before cuts. The price on the page is SAR 14 per linear metre, so the line is 32 × 14 = SAR 448 excluding the 15% VAT the row already excludes, not 64 × 14. The garden kerb, a different product, is 32 × 24.16 = SAR 773.12, and the page does not say VAT is inside it. The two kerb lines are alternatives. The 5 cm sand bed named inside the SAR 45 rate is 60 × 0.05 = 3.00 m³, and that sand is already inside SAR 45, not a second purchase. An illustrative 25 mm bedding that none of these price pages specified is 60 × 0.025 = 1.50 m³. It is geometry, not a section this guide recommends, and it is not added to a rate that already names its own bed. No opened page printed kilograms of jointing sand per m², so bags are not calculated.

Worked example: a 6 × 10 m driveway

The plan is 6 × 10 = 60 m². One price is used at a time. QS Mind grey 6 cm factory: 60 × 23.80 = SAR 1,428. Grey 8 cm factory: 60 × 25.88 = SAR 1,552.80. Laid grey 6 cm: 60 × 45 = SAR 2,700, which already includes the 5 cm sand bed, compaction and joint filling, and excludes kerbs. SAR 1,428 is not added to SAR 2,700. Meyar hexagonal, still one row at a time: red 6 cm is 60 × 19 = SAR 1,140; cement 6 cm is 60 × 20 = SAR 1,200; black 6 cm is 60 × 21 = SAR 1,260; yellow 6 cm is 60 × 23 = SAR 1,380; white or green 6 cm is 60 × 35 = SAR 2,100; cement 8 cm is 60 × 23 = SAR 1,380; black 8 cm is 60 × 25 = SAR 1,500; red 8 cm is 60 × 23 = SAR 1,380; yellow 8 cm is 60 × 27 = SAR 1,620; white or green 8 cm is 60 × 40 = SAR 2,400. Uni-shape red at 8 cm is the exception, 60 × 25 = SAR 1,500. The parity rows are 60 × 125 = SAR 7,500, 60 × 98 = SAR 5,880 and 60 × 107 = SAR 6,420. None of those is added to a factory or shop row. Al Sarif’s SAR 18 to 45 is not multiplied, because the article does not assign the band to 60 m² or to one thickness.

Edge restraint is separate from the paver rate. Road kerb on the full 32 m is SAR 448 excluding 15% VAT. On 26 m, if the entrance is omitted, it is 26 × 14 = SAR 364, still excluding that VAT. Garden kerb on 32 m is SAR 773.12. Those lines are not added to SAR 45. The paver calculator counts pieces. It does not price the riyal. The paver base calculator reports cubic yards after rounding. The 3.00 m³ on this page is 60 × 0.05 and is the sand already described inside the laid rate.

What a riyal per m² still has to say

A factory price is not a laid driveway. SAR 23.80 and SAR 25.88 exclude delivery. SAR 45 includes laying of grey 6 cm on a 5 cm sand bed and excludes kerbs. Meyar’s riyals are shop prices per m² for a named shape, colour and thickness, and the page does not say laying is included. Al Sarif’s SAR 18 to 45 is the company’s usual band per metre, not a 6 cm rate and not an 8 cm rate. The parity rows are supply only. Ask the quote to separate pavers, delivery, excavation, disposal, sub-base, bedding, jointing sand, kerbs, labour and VAT. The roads page says to add 15% if VAT is excluded. The road-kerb row already says the SAR 14 excludes 15%. Meyar does not say, so 15% is not added there and not removed.

A Riyadh factory row is not a price for Jeddah, Dammam or Al Majma'ah. Meyar’s address on the page is Al Majma'ah, Riyadh region, and its table is not relabeled as the QS Mind factory price. No opened page split the same 6 cm paver by city. The factory collection day is 30 April 2025, and the laid collection day is 1 November 2025. Both were still the figures on the pages whose market day is 7 November 2026. The kerb collection days are 4 May 2024 and 4 December 2024. Those older days stay visible because the page still prints them. Thickness labels on QS Mind, 6 cm and 8 cm for driveways and heavy traffic, are that page’s description, not a design rule for every villa drive.

• Scope: supply of pavers is not supply and install, and a shop row is not the factory row.
• VAT: QS Mind does not state it on the paver and tells the reader to add 15% only if the price excludes it.
• Colour: Meyar prints a different riyal for red, cement, black, yellow, white and green. QS Mind printed no coloured factory row.
• Edge: 32 m × SAR 14 is the road kerb. SAR 45 excludes kerbs.
