Renovate driveway - costs

And what does this company want to do about the damage to the basement ceiling? It certainly depends on the paving you want. A good paving stone already costs 25-30 euros per sqm. Well, the company only charges 100 words per sqm. That would already be a third. Of course, I don't know how expensive asphalt is.

Which paving stone is that? For that money, I would even have it laid if necessary. For half the price, you can get decent paving, if necessary even for under 10 euros. It looks accordingly, but still good.

Hello! So far we have consulted 2 companies and 1 expert and therefore unfortunately also have opinions. One says "fill it in and build new garages on top, cost approx. 90,000!!!!!" The expert suggests constructing additional concrete walls and ceiling inside the basement (which is not necessarily needed). The 3rd company says they can only assess the condition of the ceiling if the cross-section is exposed (in the course of the forecourt renovation). Apparently, water entering the basement through the dilapidated forecourt is to blame for the rusty reinforcement.... Regarding the forecourt renovation, I would be interested to know if simple concrete paving can actually cost twice as much.... Roughly estimated. Because I have not read about such a large price difference in various forums so far... (Of course the actual problem is the basement renovation... I just fear that if I bring in 3 more companies, I will end up with 3 more opinions and be totally confused....

Hello!
So far we have questioned 2 companies and 1 surveyor and unfortunately have got opinions. One says "fill in and build new garages on top, costs approx. 90,000!!!!!)
The surveyor thinks to basically build additional concrete walls and a ceiling inside the basement (which is not necessarily needed). The 3rd company says they can only assess the condition of the ceiling if the cross-section is exposed (in the course of the forecourt renovation).
Allegedly, water entering the basement through the dilapidated forecourt is to blame for the rusty reinforcement...
Regarding the forecourt renovation, I would be interested to know whether a simple concrete paving can really cost twice as much.... roughly estimated. Because I have not read such a large price difference in various forums yet...
(Of course, the actual problem is the basement renovation... I just fear that if I let 3 more companies come, I will have 3 more opinions and be totally confused....

A look through the crystal ball tells me that it is possible.

Allegedly, water entering the basement through the dilapidated forecourt is to blame for the rusty reinforcement....

In the case of building damage, it is always necessary to first find the cause and eliminate it. Afterwards, the actual damage is repaired. I understand that for a deteriorated basement ceiling, the surroundings must be exposed outside in order to see if or how damage has been caused there. Specifically, an expert on site takes care of the necessary measures.

But, shouldn’t only a small part of the driveway be removed? Why is the entire driveway obsolete? Also, the structure must be sealed so that the driveway, which by itself is not waterproof, cannot be the cause of the damage.

Regarding forecourt renovation, I would be interested to know whether simple concrete paving can actually cost twice as much....

Yes, that can be. Why not? Get a comparative quote for the concrete paving ...
