My Parking Lot is A Mess!

Very common questions that all property owners and facility managers frequently consider in regards to their pavement. Your parking lot is an important part of your property and can become a liability if not properly maintained. But, where do you start? To get the answers to your questions and to gain a better understanding of what’s required it’s always helpful to get a professional evaluation. A pavement maintenance inspection with a written report can help you make informed decisions.

When you’re seeking bids for a new driveway, parking lot, patio, or walkway make sure you know exactly what you’re getting. A thorough pavement evaluation with a detailed scope of work is important. The first step is to have the onsite inspection. Walk the areas of your property and note the current conditions. A written estimate stating the measurements, specifications and materials is a must. In most cases if there’s a difference in price, then there’s a difference in the work proposed. Often the materials or depth the contractor is providing can vary. The confusion typically arises when you get several quotes with all different prices and specifications. By using a company that provides a written evaluation stating the conditions and actual measurements you can compare options along with associated costs to form an educated decision. This is time saving, cost efficient, and much less stressful!

The ability to understand exactly what type of work you need completed, how much it will cost, how long it will take to complete, and the expected lifespan can help you with this important business decision. Taking the guesswork out of the equation and receiving quality work at a fair price.

Many associations and businesses require a budget for the work. Typically, the pavement inspection can provide projections for 1, 3 and 5 years. The importance of communicating objectives in regards to budget and expectations will be established. This will allow you the ability to feel comfortable with the finished product, the contractor you hire, and the work they are expected to perform.

Today’s technology allows for detailed aerial layouts. The site map can highlight where repairs would be made. What areas will be serviced and let you see the exact location of the work. This will also help determine work schedule and traffic patterns to ease the construction process.
