Structural Block, Made to Spec

Standard gray block is the workhorse of the plant: a hollow, normal-weight concrete masonry unit manufactured to ASTM C90 — the specification most Pennsylvania structural drawings call out by name — in 4″, 6″, 8″, and 12″ widths on a nominal 8″ × 16″ face.

Structural engineers spec it for foundation and stem walls, bearing and shear walls, and fire-rated separation. Masons buy it by the pallet because it stacks predictably and lays to a consistent joint. We cast, cure, and cube in Bensalem, so the units that reach your site share one batch history.

How It Reaches You

Gray block moves in volume. Send the wall quantity and the lay schedule and we will stage pallets against it.

Plant pickup

Load at 744 Walnut Ave, Unit 1C-D, Bensalem, PA 19020. Bring your own flatbed or trailer and we will schedule a pickup window so your driver is not sitting in the yard.

Delivery to site

We deliver across Greater Philadelphia and the tri-state region. Send the site address, access constraints, and how the load needs to be offloaded, and we will schedule the drop against your dates.

How pricing is confirmed

We do not publish per-unit prices. Book the SKUs and quantities you need, and our team confirms price, availability, and the date with you directly. There is no online payment.

The Questions Before the Order

Buyers evaluate a masonry supplier on the same short list every time. Here is how this line answers it.

01

A standard they can cite

Buyers ask which specification a unit is made to before they ask anything else. Standard gray block is manufactured to ASTM C90, so it can be specified, submitted, and inspected against a published requirement.

02

Units that lay straight

Dimensional consistency decides how fast a crew lays a wall. Units are checked for dimension before they leave the facility so joints stay uniform across a pallet and across a load.

03

A date that holds

Schedule risk costs more than unit price. Every order is confirmed with a pickup or delivery date by our team, and we cast locally in Bensalem instead of routing your load through a distant plant.

Before You Book

What is the lead time?

Lead time runs about 5–7 business days, depending on the SKU and the quantity ordered. Per-SKU lead times are listed with the sellable SKUs above, and our team confirms the exact date when we contact you about your booking.

How many units come on a pallet?

60–144 units per pallet, depending on the SKU. Exact pallet quantities are listed against each SKU above so you can figure loads and site staging before you book.

What standard is this block made to?

ASTM C90, the Standard Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units, along with applicable Pennsylvania state and local building code requirements. Ask our team if you need documentation for a submittal package.

Which widths do you carry?

4″, 6″, 8″, and 12″ on a nominal 8″ × 16″ face. The SKU list above shows what is sellable today.

Can I mix widths on one order?

Yes. Book each SKU and quantity you need on a single request and we will quote and schedule them together.

How does quoting work — why are there no prices online?

Pricing depends on quantity, SKU mix, and whether you are picking up at the plant or taking delivery, so we do not publish per-unit prices. Book the SKUs and quantities you need and our team confirms price and availability with you before anything is committed. There is no online payment.
