Driveway paving — Paving contractor
State the vehicles using the driveway, the area and any slope, standing water or access restriction. Explain whether the work stops at the property boundary or involves a crossover so the contractor can distinguish private paving from separately controlled public-access work.
Service scope
Construction or renewal of a paved vehicle-access or parking area with an agreed loading and drainage design. The finished appearance, support for expected vehicles, edges and connection to surrounding levels need coordinated assessment; highway or crossover work is separate unless expressly included and authorised.
What is normally included
- Driveway-use and layout assessment
- Vehicle-suitable pavement specification
- Agreed drainage and boundary transitions
What is not included
- Automatic authorisation to alter a public crossover
- Assumed vehicle suitability of a patio specification
Typical tasks
- Confirm vehicle use
- Assess existing surface and levels
- Plan supporting layers and edges
- Coordinate water management
- Complete the specified paved access and handover
What to include in your brief
- Driveway dimensions
- Vehicle types and use
- Existing defects and slope
- Drainage and boundary details
- Site access and material choice
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the proposal handles vehicle loads, settlement and water without assuming one block type solves the entire design. Clarify crossover responsibilities and compare the full preparation and drainage scope, not just the visible paving price.
Important considerations
- Heavier or turning vehicles can require different design
- Boundary and drainage permissions may affect the planned work
