Bargain Price:
This
is about the "threshold" price a concrete
patio can be placed for with the proper base, tamping,
reinforcement etc. In order to qualify for this price
there would be a minimal of clean-up, on larger projects
a tractor will need to access an 30 foot perimeter of the
patio location, plus ingress egress to and from the
street or alley. All material and stone must be
dropped by the concrete delivery driver straight into the actual
patio forms and all along that same location. No
vegatation or landscape considerations and all excavated
dirt will be left on site. No existing patios or decks
will need to be demolished.
Circumstance A:
This
price will reflect one or possibly two of the above not
being available. For instance asome of the concrete will have to
be wheel barrowed, or the excavated dirt needs to be removed. Still no
large quantities of vegatation to interfere with the
construction or excavation and heavy equipment has
access.
Circumstance B:
This
price will include a couple more variables, perhaps all
the materials must be hand carried or pumped from a street, gate or
distance of 40 feet or more. Or perhaps there is alot of
vegatation on one side of the patio but the other is open
to a concrete truck and the excavated dirt must be hauled away.
Circumstance C:
This
price would reflect the typical home that has a well
landscaped yard, but some space is negotiated for the
excavated dirt, perhaps a plant or two will be sacraficed
in favor of price (taken out by the home owner). And you
expect your yard to be disturbed but more or less how it
was before construction commenced minus a few
concessions.
Premier:
To
help you save time and get the best job for your money we
have devised a method of explaination for your
contractor!
It is real simple: "I want my project to look as
though you dropped it with a helicopter!
we have used this term for years to help my customers
understand what to and not to expect. This is the easiest
way for you to get what you want or build down from here
by negotiating to help prepare your property for the
contractor, which will save precious labor hours and you
save money!
Premier is the way to get your project to look as though
it were placed by a helicopter, all plants, landscape,
walks, drives etc intact unharmed or damaged except those
in the described by you to be removed.
