About Pave Consult
James Martin established Pave Consult following extensive experience working for SA Paving, and managing SA Paving businesses in Johannesburg and Durban. Pave Consult is a Professional Paving Company serving the West Rand, Randburg, Midrand, Sandton and surrounds in Johannesburg.
James has been on various boards and committees in the construction sector and especially enjoys special projects, be they of a technical or design nature, and has a passion for building labyrinths.
Pave Consult offers specialised advisory services, consultation and construction to the paving industry, covering all aspects of design, technical issues, project management, construction, quality assessment and mediation.
We take on commercial and domestic projects – the range of paving solutions include your pool patio to load-bearing roadways, as well as associated building work and accompanying technical issues such as drainage and earthworks.
Allow us to manage all aspects of your paving project; James is regularly on site for executive oversight.
We serve the greater Johannesburg region, from Sandton to Midrand, the West Rand and all areas in between.

Paving Project Process
Pave Consult has adopted and adapted the best practices from the paving industry in South Africa, and from attending British seminars.
This starts with the correct technical and design advice using the appropriate products, whether pavers or cobbles or flagstones. Cost is always a consideration, and so we will negotiate and re-design until our clients receive the optimum solution – and that is not necessarily the cheapest given the use of SANS certified first-grade suppliers.
Installation is by professional teams, properly supervised and quality-assessed.
Regarding consultation, James Martin will advise on paving and construction projects, extending to specifications, quality assessment and mediation.
Durable Paving Projects
Quality paving should last indefinitely. As this is a construction process, it may get messy, but the job will be done right.
Paving in Johannesburg is not a low-skill profession – in fact the teams have specialists for various aspects of the construction process, especially ground-work, cement work, packing and cutting. Certainly some products require very specialised equipment and installation.
The Foundation of your Paving Project
As with anything, the foundation of a paving project is critical, so preparation of the sub-base layers is carefully planned and compacted to the correct levels and density.
Pavers are packed to the correct design, maintaining the lines of the ‘perps’ and the correct falls. The detail is in the finishing, and pavers are cut with an angle-grinder.
Cement work is important, especially applying a wet cement grout to seal and complete the project (in contrast to the ‘standard’ of dry sand swept over the paving).
There are also the ancillary skills of building walls and steps, fitting pool coping and other build detail. Water flow needs to be correctly managed, and drainage systems are installed as necessary.
Paving Contractors in Johannesburg
The paving, asphalt, and artificial grass teams work on the various projects. Pave Consult partners with reputable suppliers across Johannesburg and utilises third-party services for material delivery and rubble removal.
Pave Consult is an Associated Member of the Master Builder’s Association North as a Consultation and Construction provider.
James Martin has been a member of the Executive Committee and chaired the Marketing Committee.
Pave Consult uses the Standard Contract for the Paving Industry as created by the MBA North predecessor, the Gauteng MBA. This has been slightly adapted and modernised for the current environment. Paving projects are correctly specified and are backed up by the MBA contract.
As designed by the Master Builders, the contract is balanced between the client and contractor. The two essential clauses refer to the scope of work and that arbitration is through the Master Builders.
