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.

  • Site clean-up

    Spoil removed, materials cleared and the site left tidy.

Health, safety & quality

Safety and quality on this scope

The controls and checks that matter most on this work.

Health, Safety & Quality

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

Depths, routes, pit positions and photos captured as the work goes in, for the as-built package.

Environmental and site management

Site housekeeping, spoil handling, appropriate waste management and progressive reinstatement help minimise disruption during civil works.

For estimators

Information needed to price it

  • Surface types and areas to reinstate
  • The reinstatement specification for the site
  • Handover documentation format
  • Programme for final inspections

Scope and responsibilities

  • Temporary or permanent reinstatement is priced to the specification for the site.
  • The reinstatement specification, and who carries out permanent reinstatement, are confirmed with the asset owner, council or principal contractor for each site.

Tell us who is engaging the work and what your specification requires, and KZ COM will confirm its part before pricing.
