Basic Pavement Defects: Causes, Solutions – and How Set Your Price!
Repairing pavement defects can be a profitable part of every pavement maintenance business – provided you know the problem, how to fix it – and how to bid it profitably. In this unique session a veteran pavement maintenance contractor and member of the Pavement Advisory Board ties together the defect, its cause, the repair solution – and how to set your price! Defects covered will be alligator (fatigue) cracking, “normal” cracking, potholes, surface oxidation and raveling. You’ll learn the cause of each defect and “best practices” for repairing each type of pavement problem. Then for each defect you’ll work through a job-costing example to uncover all the cost elements to include before adding in your profit and determining your price. This is a repair-and-job-costing class for contractors – not for accountants!
