Civil Reinstatement & Project Handover
Professional reinstatement is part of construction delivery, not an afterthought.
KZ COM undertakes civil make-good works associated with excavation and infrastructure installation, including applicable asphalt, concrete and surface reinstatement.

- Where it fits
- The close-out of every excavation, through to practical completion and handover.
- Typically engaged by
- Principal contractors, builders, developers and asset owners.
Scope
What the scope covers
Works are planned around the existing surface, construction specification and site requirements, with relevant completion photographs and records provided where required by the project.
Asphalt reinstatement
Clean saw-cut edges, a compacted base and new asphalt laid and compacted to the level of the surrounding surface.
Concrete reinstatement
Footpaths, driveways and crossovers reinstated in concrete to match the existing finish and joints.
Pavers, turf and landscaped surfaces
Pavers relaid, and turf and garden areas restored.
Completion checks
Depths, pit levels, conduit continuity and surface finish checked during and at the end of the work.
Completion records
Completion photographs, reinstatement details and as-built information (routes, depths, pit positions) prepared where the project requires them.

Safety and quality on this scope
The controls and checks that matter most on this work.
Reinstatement quality
Surfaces reinstated to match the surrounding material, level and finish, to the asset owner’s or council’s requirements for the site.
Inspection points
Depths, pit levels, conduit continuity and surface finish checked during and at the end of the work.
Handover records
