When building in Rustenburg, Pretoria, Magaliesburg, Thabazimbi, Northam, or surrounding areas, you need materials that are durable, efficient, and budget-friendly. Cemblocks’ Maxi Blocks are designed to meet exactly those needs.


What Are Maxi Blocks?

Maxi blocks are larger cement building blocks, available in single and double sizes. Their larger format means fewer joints, faster construction, and reduced mortar costs — making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.

At Cemblocks, our Maxi Blocks are manufactured with precision using recycled sand and stone, helping reduce environmental impact without compromising on quality.


Why Builders Choose Maxi Blocks

  • Speed of Construction: Larger block size means fewer units per wall, saving time and labour.

  • Cost Savings: Reduced mortar consumption and faster laying speed lower total building costs.

  • Strength & Durability: Ideal for external and internal walls, designed to handle the region’s climate conditions.

  • Eco-Friendly: Manufactured with recycled aggregates, supporting sustainable building practices.


Common Applications

Maxi Blocks are versatile and widely used for:

  • Residential housing in Rustenburg and Pretoria suburbs

  • Commercial developments around Thabazimbi and Northam

  • Boundary walls and perimeter fencing in Brits and Magaliesburg

  • Schools, clinics, and public infrastructure across the North West Province


Tips for Using Maxi Blocks in Your Project

  • Plan your wall thickness: Choose between single or double Maxi Blocks depending on insulation and load requirements.

  • Foundation prep: Ensure solid foundations, especially in areas with variable soil conditions like Magaliesburg or Thabazimbi.

  • Transport & storage: Cemblocks delivers directly to your site in Pretoria, Northam, and surrounding towns — store blocks off the ground to avoid moisture damage.

  • Workmanship: Maxi Blocks are easier to align and level, but proper mortar mixes (e.g. 1:6 cement to sand) should be used to maximise strength.


Case Study: Fast Housing Project in Pretoria

A developer in Pretoria used Cemblocks Maxi Blocks for a 20-unit housing project. The larger block size reduced construction time by 30% compared to traditional stock bricks, saving both time and labour costs. The finished homes met SANS standards and delivered strong, modern walls with a clean finish.
