Patio slabs: an outdoor room with a clear footprint
A patio can be a simple sitting area or part of a larger outdoor renovation. Mark the proposed edges, furniture zones and connections to paths. If a roof or other structure will be supported, provide the relevant design information rather than assuming a general paving slab covers that purpose. Ask the contractor to assess falls and interfaces at the home.
What to include in your patio slabs quote
Make the scope specific before comparing prices. Use these details to describe your Central Coast project and ask the contractor to confirm each part of the work in writing.
Levels and water
Point out existing drainage and any water issues. The contractor needs to assess how the new area fits the property.
Structures and finishes
Disclose proposed roof posts or structures and provide their design documents. Discuss the finish and transitions separately.

Patio slabs: your questions.
Can a patio slab also support a future pergola?
Do not assume it can. Tell the contractor about the proposed structure and obtain the project-specific design information needed. A surface intended for outdoor seating is not automatically specified for structural loads.
What affects the quote for patio slabs?
The extent of the work, existing condition, access and agreed finish all need to be assessed. Sketch the footprint and photograph it from the house and garden. Ask for assumptions and exclusions to be written down so you can compare the same scope.
