Summary

The customer needed help building up, levelling and compacting a roughly 35m² base to prepare for new paving in their backyard in Northpark, Auckland. They were particularly concerned about getting the fall right so water would drain away from the dwelling, and wanted the work finished before 19 June. Materials availability was discussed up front — one offer was based on fill already on site while an additional charge would apply if base material needed to be supplied. Five offers were received and the chosen offer was $590; the selected offer included use of a plate compactor and an hourly/day-rate option was offered in negotiations. The job progressed from initial chat about materials and drainage to building up the base, careful levelling to achieve the correct fall and compaction, leaving the area ready for paving. The customer left a positive 5-star review noting the work was done well.
