What should a New Zealand paving quote include?
Excavation, basecourse, bedding, the pavers themselves, edge restraint and cutting each go on their own line, with 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. The depth of the excavation and the basecourse specification are what carry the price and what a cheaper quote reduces, so state them: a driveway that will take a vehicle needs a different build-up from a patio, and the difference is invisible once the pavers are down. Say where the spoil goes, allow and state a cutting and wastage percentage, and note the fall and drainage you have designed to.
When do I need permeable paving in New Zealand?
Whenever the site has to deal with its own stormwater, which is increasingly common in urban areas where the network will not accept more flow. A permeable driveway lets water through the surface into a designed basecourse that stores and releases it, which means the build-up is a stormwater device rather than just a base — the aggregate is open-graded, the joints are filled with chip rather than sand, and the depth is set by the volume it has to hold. That is a different job from conventional paving and should be quoted as one. Check the council’s requirement before you price, because on some sites permeable paving is what makes the consent work and on others it is an expensive option nobody asked for.
Does the AI know New Zealand paving pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — concrete, clay and permeable pavers by square metre, GAP basecourse and drainage layers, bedding and jointing material, concrete edge restraint, cutting, and excavation with spoil cartage — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Access is priced separately, because a back-section job barrowed in and a street-front driveway are not the same labour at the same area.
What ground conditions should I quote against?
State them, because paving fails from underneath and the failure looks like your workmanship. Quote against ordinary ground with a stated basecourse depth, and give rates for what you might find instead: soft or filled ground needing extra depth or geotextile, rock, or services shallower than expected. Say who is responsible for locating buried services before you dig, and confirm it in writing. Also note the settlement you expect and your policy on relevelling: a small amount of settlement in the first year is normal on a properly built job, and a client told that up front reads it as expertise rather than as a defect.
