Before deciding on your paver, ensure that you get satisfaction regarding the following questions.
Is the company a member of the BPI?
For how long is the job guaranteed? (One year is normal)
How many years has the paver been in business?
Could he supply a list of work done to date?
A few phone calls to substantiate claims could be well worth your effort.
Who physically does the work...is the labour properly supervised?
Does the price list quote precisely what work will be done?
In order to compare prices accurately you need to establish precisely what has been quoted on. The quote should show a detailed list of work that will be done, i.e. specify area and m² to be paved. (NOT JUST: "paving at no. 2 Ocean Drive"), list steps, corners, edges, pathways, specify brick, (1st grade, plaster, clay, etc.), removal of rubble. A detailed drawing should accompany the quote showing clearly the full extent of the work quoted for and the type of material to be used.
How long will the job take?
What payment will be expected, and when?
Don't pay before the job commences. Remember you do not have to finance the paver's business.
