Get It Right Before Installation Begins

APS National consults on pedestal paver and tile system design early in a project — before costly mistakes get built into the plans.

What's Included

From selection to collaboration with architects and engineers. Here’s how a typical consulting project flows.

System Selection

System selection guidance across every major manufacturer.

Structural Coordination Review

Drainage, waterproofing, and structural coordination review.

Constructability Input

Constructability input before drawings are finalized.

Collaboration

Direct collaboration with architects, engineers, and general contractors.

Why Early Input Matters

Elevated hardscape systems can fail if paver systems aren’t compatible with the construction or design, if there is inadequate drainage planning, or if structural loads aren’t adequately accounted for.

APS National advises on system selection, manufacturer compatibility, drainage and waterproofing coordination, and structural load requirements — informed by 30 years of hands-on installation experience, not just design theory.

APS National’s consulting services bring pedestal paver and tile expertise to the table during design and pre-construction, so architects, developers, and GCs can avoid rework before it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tile Consulting for pedestal paver systems, our approach, and what to expect when you work with APS National.
It depends on your project’s stage and location. Early in design, most of our work happens through plan and specification review. Once a project is underway, our team can also join site visits or virtual walkthroughs to work through specific installation questions in real time.
Written recommendations covering system selection, drainage and waterproofing coordination, and structural considerations — specific enough for your architect or GC to act on directly, not general guidance.
It scales with project complexity. A single-system review can turn around quickly, while a multi-building or phased project involves ongoing collaboration through design development rather than a one-time deliverable.
Consulting is available on its own, independent of whether you use APS National for installation. Some clients bring us in purely for technical review.
Our senior technical team are people who’ve spent decades installing these systems in the field, not just reviewing them on paper. We review your plans directly, so recommendations are grounded in real installation experience.
Yes. While early input delivers the most value, we regularly help project teams resolve field issues once construction is underway, before an unexpected drainage conflict or compatibility question turns into a bigger delay.
