What a first build could look like in Augusta
Suppose an Augusta residential and commercial paving, driveway-grading and road-culvert contractor operates dump trucks and pavers from Civic Center Drive out to Hallowell, Winthrop and the Belgrade Lakes. We would build an online square-footage and crushed-gravel base estimator, a crew and dump-truck schedule board, and field photo checklists that document base compaction and finished asphalt thickness.
