Exclusively for Allan Block Contractors
Q2 2018 Issue
In The Spotlight: PaverScape, Inc
As a reminder, an Allan Block Master Wall Builder (MWB) is an individual who has reached the third and final step in the Contractor Certification Program (level 1 = Certified Contractor and level 2 = Experienced Wall Builder). AB Contractors that reach this level have both the knowledge and the skills to build top quality Allan Block walls. To learn more about the details associated with each certification level, please visit our AB Certification site.
This quarter we are heading to the Southeast part of the US and to sunny Orlando, Florida where we met up with Chuck Miller, President and Owner of PaverScape, Inc. Founded in 1989, PaverScape is one of Florida’s leading hardscape installers. PaverScape’s attention to detail, customer service, quality of work and immediate response time have all contributed to almost 30 successful years of business.
PaverScape Inc
It began as a paver installation business in 1989 and has evolved into a hardscape solution provider with projects that include installation of SRWs, pavers, sheet piling retaining walls, articulating concrete block and adjacent material for owners and general contractors all over the state of Florida. All their business funnels into the commercial market (private and public) and their quality of work and reputation has led them to successfully win individual development projects totaling 500,000 sq ft. (46,500 sq m) of SRWs and 41 ft. (12.5 m) tall walls (only to be passed by a 56 ft.(17 m) terraced structure totaling eight walls). And yes, that is in Florida for those who think it is “flat” state.
Chuck has a great passion for the hardscape and SRW industry. As a contractor, he is still actively involved in the NCMA (National Concrete and Masonry Association) as he works to help the industry grow and evolve. He has 20 years of hardscape manufacturing experience as well as 14 years of contracting experience with PaverScape, Inc. When asked what led to his 34+ years (and counting) he provided many reasons, but “the niche market, specialized products and people have all provided me with passion and enjoyment over my career.”
He has participated in the AB Contractor Certification Program for years even though he has knowledge that could help all members of the SRW industry learn. Today, projects that are constructed are submitted for rewards and new certifications and most importantly he uses the program “to educate new employees and help them connect the dots within the SRW industry – it has been very helpful to expedite that process.”
What are his favorite types of projects? “A complex project with unique applications (such as property lines, utilities, etc.) that require someone with knowledge to help solve the problem.” It is by no accident that Chuck and PaverScape, Inc. have had the successes (of which we are only introducing) over the past 30 years. Chuck’s passion, desire and eagerness to help solve problems are second to none. Chuck; from all of us at Allan Block please accept our sincere thanks! We know there are a lot of solutions to choose from and we are very happy to have had the opportunity to work with you through the years.
