Scope and intended use
A useful car park needs a suitable base, reliable drainage and a layout matched to the vehicles using it. We assess paving and improvement works for residential, commercial, industrial and public settings. The starting information includes traffic type, approximate movements, existing surface condition and the intended parking arrangement. Areas used by delivery vehicles may need a different construction from spaces used only by passenger cars. The surface finish should be selected as part of this wider assessment.
Details that affect the work
Levels determine where rainwater travels and how vehicles enter the site. Drainage channels, kerbs, pedestrian routes and accessible spaces should therefore be coordinated before the paving package is finalised. Repairs to an existing car park also need an understanding of why the surface failed. Covering a weak base or blocked drainage route can conceal a problem without resolving it. The quotation should identify preparation, layers, edges, drainage interfaces and markings where these are included in the agreed scope.
Planning the work package
The first assessment combines your brief with the drawings and information available for the site. We identify access constraints, quantities, interfaces with other trades and the operations that need a technical decision before pricing. The agreed proposal should explain inclusions, exclusions and the basis for measuring the work. A preferred programme is reviewed against the actual sequence, delivery arrangements and any inspections required by the project team. Changes to the initial scope should be described and assessed before they are incorporated into the works.
Preparing your enquiry
Send the municipality, a description of the intended result and any approximate dimensions you already know. Include information about access, neighbouring properties and whether the area will remain occupied or operational. Tell us which plans, studies and specifications are available, and who coordinates the technical design. Photographs can support the initial conversation, but hidden conditions may require additional checks. ECOSTA reviews enquiries in Girona as a priority; projects proposed in southern France require a separate assessment of location, resources and applicable requirements.
Agreeing the handover
Before the work begins, clarify the condition in which the package is to be handed over and which records are required by the project. This may include measured quantities, material information, test results where specified, and instructions relevant to future maintenance. An agreed review helps distinguish completed work from outstanding items and makes interfaces with the next trade understandable. Keeping this information connected to the actual scope gives the owner and technical team a clearer basis for closing the package.
