Yes, Amazon fulfilment, Rogers Communications campus and Maple Leaf Foods logistics drive commercial parking lot work (asphalt seal-coating, line striping, concrete pad repairs, heavy-duty trailer aprons). Quote per-sqft (CAD $3 to $8 for asphalt resurfacing; CAD $10 to $25 for heavy-duty concrete trailer apron) with PE-stamped engineering for industrial loading. Lock in 5 to 10 year service contracts.
Per square metre rates are $80 to $280 installed in the US, depending on paver type. Hourly rates ($45-95) only apply for repairs and small remediation work. Most paving contractors quote fixed-price per sqm with adders for pattern, edging, and drainage.
Concrete is cheaper ($25/sqm material), softer, may need re-sealing every 3-5 years, and weathers over time. Porcelain is more expensive ($80/sqm+), harder, requires no sealing, and looks like-new at year 20. Concrete dominates driveways; porcelain dominates patios and pools.
A driveway over poor sub-base sinks 30-100mm over 5 years, cracks pavers, and pools water. Quality sub-base (100-150mm of CBR-tested crushed rock, compacted in lifts) keeps the surface flat for 20+ years. Most failed paving traces to sub-base, not the pavers.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for any paving over $3,000. Compare paver brand, sub-base depth, edging spec, and drainage approach. The cheapest quote almost always cuts sub-base or skips edging, both of which fail within 3-5 years.
If the driveway connects to a public road or changes a council kerb crossing, almost always yes. Council layback permits are $250-1,200 depending on region. The paving contractor should include this in the quote, not hide it.
