Developing an accurate road paving budget (Bill of Quantities / RAB) requires thorough knowledge of site preparation, aggregate base layers, prime/tack coats, and final hotmix compaction. This guide explains key cost components per meter to ensure cost-efficiency and structural longevity.
Core Cost Components in Road Paving Budgets
- Site Preparation & Cleaning: Clearing dust, soil, and vegetation using industrial compressors and graders.
- Aggregate Sub-Base & Base Course: Laying and compacting crushed stone to achieve required California Bearing Ratio (CBR) soil capacity.
- Bond Coat Application (Prime & Tack Coat): Spraying liquid emulsion binder to chemically lock the hotmix to the subgrade.
- Hotmix Paving & Dual Compaction: Mechanical paving with asphalt finishers, followed by heavy tandem and pneumatic tire rollers.
