Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get in a report?

Each report includes:

  • A pavement condition assessment with annotated photos

  • Repair recommendations prioritized by urgency

  • Budget pricing using industry-standard unit costs

  • An area takeoff based on aerial imagery

  • ADA compliance observations (striping, signage, and slopes if visible)

  • A professionally formatted PDF you can share with vendors or use for budgeting

  • Prepared by a licensed professional engineer (PE)

  • Delivered within 2–3 business days

  • Includes one follow-up email consult if needed

What’s not included?

To keep reports affordable and fast, here’s what isn’t part of the standard service:

  • Site visits (everything is done remotely from your photos and aerial imagery)

  • Stamped engineering drawings or permit plans

  • Phone consultations (we stick to email to keep things efficient)

  • Contractor recommendations or help collecting bids

  • Ongoing back and forth (we include one follow-up email if you have questions)

  • Precise survey-level ADA slope measurements (we note visible slope concerns and reference ADA standards, but we do not provide certified field measurements. If you’d like to check slopes yourself, see our blog post on measuring with a smartphone.)

If you need design plans, permitting help, or more hands-on involvement, we recommend reaching out to a local civil engineering firm.

Most clients find the report gives them exactly what they need to move forward with confidence.

How much does it cost?

Most reports are a flat $495. That includes everything listed above — no upsells or hidden fees. For larger properties or multi-lot sites, we’ll provide custom pricing before we start.

How big of a parking lot is included in the $495 report?

Our standard report covers lots up to 100,000 square feet (≈2.3 acres) about the size of a large grocery store or small shopping center lot.

If your site includes multiple lots, loading areas, or access roads, we may require a small add-on fee. We’ll review your photos and confirm scope before proceeding.

How do I submit my lot for a report?

Just fill out our intake form and upload a few photos of your lot. You’ll receive clear instructions, no measuring or technical knowledge required.

How long does it take?

You’ll receive your report within 3 business days after we receive your completed intake and photos. Rush options available upon request.

What if I’m not sure what to photograph?

Our intake form includes clear photo guidance. If we need anything else, we’ll contact you right away, no guesswork required.

Do you visit the site in person?

No, our process is 100% remote. We use your submitted photos and public aerial imagery to assess the site, keeping costs low and turnaround fast.

Can I use the report to request bids?

Absolutely. Our reports are designed to help you get apples-to-apples quotes from paving contractors and avoid unnecessary upsells.

Do you offer repairs too?

No, we’re a consulting firm, not a paving contractor. That means our recommendations are unbiased. If needed, we can help you understand your options and gather quotes from qualified vendors.

Do you only work with parking lots?

We focus on asphalt and concrete surfaces including parking lots, drive lanes, fire lanes, loading areas, and pedestrian access routes. If you have a unique site, we’re happy to review it.

Are you insured?

Yes, Pavement Integrity Group carries professional liability (E&O) insurance for all services provided. If your organization requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI), we’re happy to provide one.

Is this a stamped engineering report?

No, our reports are not signed or sealed and are not intended for permitting or regulatory submission. They are planning tools meant to support budget decisions and vendor coordination.

Does this count as engineering advice?

We do not provide design, permitting, or stamped engineering services. While our reports are prepared using engineering best practices, they are observational in nature and based on available imagery and client-submitted photos.
