FAQ
Lucknow paving contractor pricing questions, answered
Common questions about paving contractor pricing in Lucknow, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Per sqft installed: concrete paver Rs 75-Rs 150; tarmac Rs 65-Rs 140; permeable paver Rs 220-Rs 480; coloured / textured Rs 120-Rs 220; stamped concrete Rs 180-Rs 380; Kota stone Rs 95-Rs 220; Kashmir White granite Rs 180-Rs 380; Black Galaxy Rs 280-Rs 580; Italian marble Rs 850-Rs 2,800; heritage Lakhauri brick Rs 380-Rs 950. Premium tier 25-40% above standard. State GST 18% + LMC + LDA + BIS IS 15658 + rainwater harvesting on every quote.
Yes for driveways over 5sqm front of property. UPPCB approval for septic + STP. BIS IS 15658 (paver block) + IS 11447 compliance mandatory. Rainwater harvesting on plots over 200sqm Rs 80,000-Rs 2,40,000. Print LMC + LDA approval + rainwater harvesting on quote.
Yes on most major projects. Lucknow monsoon ~970mm + dust storm + waterlogging make drainage critical. Permeable paver blocks (IS 15658) Rs 220-Rs 480/sqft satisfy SuDS-equivalent + qualify for rainwater harvesting integration.
Typical 400-800sqft driveway Rs 80,000-Rs 6,50,000 depending on material. Quote separately: excavation + disposal, sub-base (150-200mm crushed aggregate per IS 383), sand bedding, pavers / concrete, edging restraints, drainage, jointing + sealing. Gomti Nagar / Hazratganj Italian marble or premium granite Rs 4,50,000-Rs 35,00,000+.
Niche premium. Old Lucknow Chowk (226003) Nawabi heritage under UP Heritage + ASI + INTACH. Lakhauri brick + heritage cobblestone Rs 380-Rs 950/sqft, 50-100% premium. Build portfolio with UP Heritage + INTACH conservation officers.
Per square metre rates are ₹2,500 to ₹8,700 installed in the US, depending on paver type. Hourly rates (₹1,400-95) 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 (₹800/sqm material), softer, may need re-sealing every 3-5 years, and weathers over time. Porcelain is more expensive (₹2,500/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 ₹93,500. 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 ₹7,800-1,200 depending on region. The paving contractor should include this in the quote, not hide it.
