Block laying in Auckland is the process of preparing a piece of land for infrastructures such as a road, hospital, or factory. The work usually takes place in two phases: pre-construction and construction. Pre-construction work includes checkerboarding the area to ensure that it is suitable for building and setting up the basic infrastructure such as power and water supplies.

Block layers in Auckland are an important part of the construction industry, as they provide a strong foundation for all other parts of the building. The blocks can be used in a variety of ways, including as cladding on buildings and roofs, and in sinks, showers, and other public areas.
