Ground preparation for paving — Paving contractor — Professionals
Preparation-only leads require a clear interface with the pavement designer or installer. Providers should confirm levels, loading and material responsibilities and avoid independently choosing a generic build-up where the required performance has not been specified.
Service scope
Assessment and preparation of a site to receive a specified paved surface, including agreed excavation, formation and supporting-layer work. The finished pavement, expected loading and drainage design determine the brief; ground preparation is not a universal depth of excavation or a substitute for structural ground advice.
What is normally included
- Preparation against an agreed pavement design
- Defined excavation and material handling
- Handover of the prepared area to the next trade
What is not included
- Unspecified excavation around unknown services
- A guaranteed foundation without ground assessment
Qualification checks
- Obtain the pavement brief
- Review known utility information
- Confirm level responsibility
- Agree material and disposal scope
- Define handover acceptance
Quote guidance
Itemise assessed excavation, transport, disposal and specified supporting materials. Mark investigation or unsuitable-ground treatment separately where the site evidence does not support a fixed quantity.
Lead risks
- The next contractor may expect a different prepared level
- Unknown waste or ground conditions can alter handling requirements
