Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 06, 2012 11:47 am Hi I am looking at getting crossover done. Any one got any idea as to much does it approximately cost and any recommendation. I am getting only driveway done through builder. Is driveway done different to crossover or similar? Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 3Jun 09, 2012 7:10 pm C'mon CC , you have been here long enough now yes? Is 6 m long, right So how wide is it, is it paved ? How strong does it need to be, just light vehicles ie cars, or up o 6 ton trucks. Is it to be hay , straw , brick , gold , Tibetan yak tears ? Does it need to go thru an existing council foot/bike path? What needs to be removed, soil , sand , gravel , rock , uranium , asbestos ? Built three crossovers , driveways in the past two years , two needed Kerb removal , does yours ? I can help , but cant read your mind . Waiting to assist.

Waiting to assist. yes echo it feels i have been here forever. someday my house will be done i have never built a house so it is all new to me. Cross over is 6 meter wide. having pavers but council requirement is to have 100 limestone / roadbase underneath, no bike or foot path, nothing need to remove due to new house, council requirments that crossover has to be for medium vehicles.

Is Kerb existent? Pavers 190 x 190 ? Did builder do driveway in same ? Is there 100 mm limestone under that ? Very familiar hi Echo city of canning kerb is there but council said we have to get kerb done again to go with crossover pavers - rectangle ones don't know if builder is doing limestone underneath or not - addenda says that driveway isfor cars only - no truck allowed. different colour border Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 9Jun 10, 2012 1:26 pm Sounded like town of Vic park or city of south Perth , close eh? If builder doin driveway SS may Give you details of contractor and you get quote to continue with crossover is easiest solution. SS gets a kickback from contractor who orders extra at same time delivery for original driveway . Or use the PM details of contractors from marybond to get quotes for completion after handover. Council will provide data on how job needs to Be done , just provide copies to contractors when quoting. Most paving guys will have a concrete guy that can redo kerbing at same time. Builder would have paid a bond to council so as to not damage kerbing during build. If documented ensure it is returned to you after completion.

The only problem is that we are not in very good relationship with ss, so don't know if he will help. I am still waiting for details from marybond. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 11Jun 10, 2012 1:48 pm Sorry for taking soo long CC101 Here are the contractors i have heard good things about from my FB friends who recommended them to me.... Let me know how it goes Dreamscape 0420 981 491 Outdoor Living Oasis 9414 7779 Ferraro's Paving 0422 072 692 Character Paving 0437 282 767 Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 13Jul 14, 2012 8:06 pm I still have not found anyone who can do full crossover. Paving guys do only paving and they said i have to get road base done from someone else and then road base people don't do kerbing. Looks like i have to have 3 different parties to get crossover done. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 14Jul 23, 2012 12:12 pm I've heard, if you contact the council you can arrange for them to do a concrete crossover, which is cheaper. In Baldivis, I know a girl who has only a 2, maybe 2 and a half meter crossover, and the paver was going to charge them $2000. So, for 6m with a border I'd say $3000 odd isn't too bad. ~Lu. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 15Jul 23, 2012 1:02 pm hi all - i could not find anyone who could do roadbase, pavers on top and then kerbing to shire requirements. So i have decided to go with builder. Thanks for all the advise. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 16Aug 14, 2013 4:12 pm Wow im in the same boat in Perth. Why is something so easy become so difficult. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 18Dec 02, 2020 8:36 am CC101 Hi I am looking at getting crossover done. Any one got any idea as to much does it approximately cost and any recommendation. I am getting only driveway done through builder. Is driveway done different to crossover or similar? Axiis Contracting P/L - 16.4m2 @ $75/m2 = $1,230, + GST = $1,353. Includes saw cutting, removal and disposal of existing. There are four panels. City of Canning - They made an unfortunate mistake and poured one new panel on the footpath and one panel on the crossover and the panel on the crossover broke as they did this repair BEFORE the building started. They claim the permit is about $300, but they also give a discount for my broken old crossover. How much, I better find out before. Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 19Dec 02, 2020 2:15 pm Have you checked if your council does it? City of Gosnells charge builders for a new crossover and then refund the owner the difference between what they charged the builder(which they've obviously passed on to the owner)and what it actually cost Re: cross over paving cost / recommendation south of river p 20Dec 09, 2020 12:36 pm domwild CC101 Hi I am looking at getting crossover done.

Should be less for new crossovers, my quote is for replacing a broken crossover. Will get other quotes. Council or council's contractor poured it over uncompacted subsoil for the crossover, there is no need for crushed limestone. That is needed for paved areas, like driveways. Council will charge about $340 for application and may give you $570 back if you are replacing a broken one. Thanks!
