Block Prices
Block prices depend almost entirely on size and material, so a single average would be misleading. Below are the specific products we have enough purchase data to price, each with its own range.

14 of 20 block products have enough independent purchase data to price. The rest are in our data but below the threshold we publish at.
Why block prices vary so much
“Block” covers a range of products rather than one item, and size and material move the price far more than which supplier you use. That is why a single average across all of them isn't useful for deciding whether you paid a fair price.
To check a specific purchase, find the matching product in the table above. If it isn't listed, we don't yet have enough independent purchases of that exact item to publish a figure we'd stand behind.
How we know this
These figures come from real invoices processed through CostCrunch, not list prices or survey data. Each line is normalised to a price per unit, the top and bottom 1% are excluded as outliers, and we publish what we have for the last 12 months and say how thin it is. Where a figure rests on very few purchases, a single supplier or a single company, that is noted alongside it — those are one buyer's experience rather than a market rate.
Check your own invoices against these prices — CostCrunch reads every line item and flags anything above market.
