Why We Give Paving Discounts When We Are Paving in Your Area

Homeowners and business owners alike may have this question: Why do paving companies offer discounts if they are working in a certain area? They have a very good reason, actually: Efficiency. Cost. Logistics. When a paving company has jobs in a single neighborhood or commercial area, they are cutting down on material, labor, and fuel costs. They pass these savings on to you through discounted paving services.

Discounted paving when we’re already in your area is good for us and good for you: Not only is it more affordable, it’s fast and of the highest quality. We explain below why we offer these discounts, and why it’s a fantastic time for homeowners and businesses to invest in paving.

Reduced Travel and Mobilization Costs

The most common reason we provide discounts to pave in an area is the savings in travel time and fuel. Moving asphalt paving equipment, trucks, and materials is a time-consuming and fuel-intensive endeavor. When a paving crew is already on site in your neighborhood, the fuel and labor needed to relocate equipment to another job site are drastically reduced.

Working on several projects in a condensed area allows us to get more work done in a shorter amount of time. The time not spent driving to and from jobs will enable us to offer a lower price per job, making this the perfect time for residents and businesses to schedule their paving projects at a discounted rate.

Bulk Material Orders Lead to Lower Costs

Asphalt and other paving materials are typically sold in bulk. The more material ordered, the lower the per-ton cost. If we have several paving projects going on in one area, we can order more asphalt, gravel, and sealant. This reduces total materials costs.

We pass those savings on to our customers with discounted rates. Rather than order materials for each job, we can combine projects and take advantage of supplier discounts. It’s the same quality materials you get, just cheaper, because we are already in the area.

Efficient Use of Labor and Crew Scheduling

Paving contractors that are able to overlap paving jobs will have a more efficient paving crew schedule. Crews that are mobilized to a single job site take time to mobilize to the site, set up, and break down daily. If we have several paving jobs in one area, our paving crews can move from job to job in as little as 30 minutes. This quick turnaround minimizes downtime between paving jobs and directly impacts paving productivity.

Efficient labor utilization allows the paving contractor to get the job done quicker with less downtime, without sacrificing the quality of the paving operation. When we can overlap paving jobs, our paving crew is already working in the area and can mobilize and lay asphalt quickly, with less downtime. This efficiency in labor costs can be passed on to the customer, making it a win-win for the paving company and the property owner seeking low-cost paving contractors.

Faster Project Scheduling and Completion

One more advantage of scheduling your paving project when we’re already in the area is fast turnaround. We already have crews and equipment in the area, so we can add new jobs to our schedule more quickly than if we had to travel out of the way to reach your property.

The upshot of this is that you don’t have to wait weeks or months to get your driveway or parking lot paved. Instead, take advantage of the opportunity to have the job done quickly and efficiently, and at a significant discount. This can be especially helpful for business owners who need a paving job completed without disrupting daily operations.

Take Advantage of the Savings Opportunity

Paving contractors like to stay local, so if you notice a paving crew working in your neighborhood or a nearby area, don’t be shy—this is the time to ask for discounted rates. Many homeowners and business owners don’t realize they can save money by scheduling work when a paving crew is already in their area.

Productive Asphalt is always willing to offer paving discounts when we work on more than one driveway, parking lot, or roadway in the same general area. It allows us to be more productive and allows our customers to receive more competitive pricing on quality paving jobs. If you’ve been thinking about getting a new driveway or parking lot, don’t wait. Act now, and you can save money and get a long-lasting, durable asphalt surface.
