What is Car Park Construction?

Car park construction is the process of designing and building a facility to hold parked vehicles. This can be for residential purposes in apartment blocks, or even a large-scale, commercial car park to hold hundreds of cars for shopping centres.

Professional construction encapsulates every stage of the project, from site preparation to the finalisation and handover to clients. The finished car parks can be diverse in their design and purpose, such as: multi-storied or open-air; asphalt or concrete; for small groups or heavy loads; etc.

Assigning an experienced head contractor is highly beneficial for designing an optimal car park for your specific needs.

Car Park Design Considerations

Solve Civil integrates sustainable practices across all projects, focusing on enhancing safety, functionality and environmental stewardship. Their dedication to quality ensures durable, long-lasting outcomes that benefit clients and communities.

Traffic Flow & Circulation

The most optimal flow of traffic in a car park is carefully mapped out ahead of construction, prioritising drivers’ safety and comfort. We ensure the desired capacity of vehicles is met, with detailed consideration of entry/exit points, circulation patterns, vehicle turning paths, and integration with existing road networks.

Parking Bay Layout & Accessibility

Every project considers the diverse range of vehicles and their occupants’ accessibility needs ahead of time. This includes compliance with disability access standards for all car park factors, including bay sizing, angle parking options (90°, 60°, 45°), and aisle widths.

Drainage & Stormwater Management

For the continued maintenance of car parks and their structural integrity, we include design features for proper drainage and stormwater management. With the included installation of surface grading, pit locations, and stormwater collection systems, we avoid pavement deterioration and safety hazards that could cut the lifespan of this building.

Lighting & Safety Features

For guaranteed visibility, security and safety at any time of use, all of our car parks have lighting features designed before building. We also aid in accessibility and users’ safety with the planned addition of bollards, wheel stops, safety barriers, and pedestrian protection.

Asphalt vs Concrete Car Parks: Which Is Right for Your Project?

If you’re invested in building a car park for a future project, you will have to consider which materials are best used in construction. The two main choices are between concrete and asphalt car park construction, both of which offer their own unique benefits.

Solve Civil can provide you with easy-to-understand explanations on both options when you book a consultation with us. However, for full transparency and accessibility to our clients, we have offered key information below:

When to Choose Asphalt Car Parks

Whether you’re building a new asphalt car park or looking to increase the lifespan of an existing one, there are advantages to using asphalt materials. For civil projects, you may be interested in the following:

  1. Faster construction pace than when compared to concrete, especially when done by civil construction experts
  2. Lower initial cost for site preparation and materials
  3. Easier repairs, with the option to schedule cost-effective asphalt resurfacing services for maintaining structural integrity
  4. More suitable for lighter traffic loads as seen in residential and/or single-storey structures
  5. Flexibility for future modifications and accessibility purposes
  6. Typical lifespan of 15-20 years with regular maintenance

When to Choose Concrete Car Parks

In comparison to asphalt car park construction, concrete is more well-known for large-scale projects. This is due to the material’s greater durability and longer lifespan.

You may want to consider installing a concrete car park over an asphalt one for the following reasons:

  • Concrete is more durable than asphalt, leading to a longer-lasting property
  • Heavier load capacity, suitable for multi-storey and/or car parks for larger-scale vehicles
  • Minimal maintenance requirements that offset the initial higher installation costs
  • Typical lifespan of 25-30 years on average

Built for Durability

We use high-quality materials and construction methods tailored to the expected load and usage of the site. Whether it’s asphalt or concrete, our pavements are designed to withstand constant vehicle movement and environmental wear, reducing the need for frequent repairs.

Safe & Seamless Delivery

All works are delivered under strict WHS controls, with minimal disruption to surrounding operations. Our experienced team coordinates site access, traffic management, and staging—ensuring your site remains safe and functional throughout the project.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

How long does car park construction take in Sydney?

The length of time to finish a car park project in Sydney varies greatly. This is because it’s dependent on diverse factors like the project’s size, complexity, construction methods, approval timeline, site conditions, and many more.

Your head contractor should provide a more detailed timeline once you begin the consultation process.

The exact type of approvals required for building or repairing car parks will vary depending on the site and its intended design or purpose. However, crucial approvals required in Sydney are a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC).

You may also need a permit for steps like temporary road closures, removal of trees, operation of cranes, and many more.

It’s typical for the cost of a Sydney car park product to be based on several factors, such as:

  • Quality and amount of materials used
  • Site location
  • Length of time for completion
  • Preparation workload
  • Additional features

Some contractors may also charge you based on the square metre of the park size or the number of parking spots needed. Discussing your budget and goals ahead of time with an expert can help you learn more about potential costs.

Solve Civil has experience in minimising operational disruptions to government, council, health, and even educational facilities while in use. We collaborate directly with you and other teams on-site to ensure your facility can remain in use unless essential disruptions are required.

It’s standard for car parks to require drainage solutions like channel drains, pavement sloping, and even stormwater management solutions. The exact solutions suggested will depend on the local climate, materials used in construction, and the need for accessibility.

We pride ourselves on providing end-to-end solutions for all of our projects, which include parking space line marking and signage. While we can plan out the optimal placement of these features, we can also work with you to maintain expectations and meet user requirements.

To keep your car park at optimal performance, it’s best to schedule annual maintenance checks from a trusted professional. Regular cleaning, sealant and safety inspections of the space can help to prevent cracks, potholes, and other damage that may impact the space negatively.
