Whether on a road, in schools, churches, parking lots, playgrounds, gardens and residential estates, kerbs are a common sight. These are mouldings that are laid on the ground as a distinct separation between two different parts of the ground. For example, they can be laid out to separate a road from a footpath, or to separate a walkway from the grass area. These mouldings are popular for their role as boundary indicators. Modern design has seen production of stylized and unique kerbs which help to add aesthetic value to the area in which they are laid. Many contractors have ventured into the commercial kerbing business, and this has in turn reduced quality of production since some of these contractors are only out to make profit. The following are some ways to evaluate contractors in order to get the best service for your project.

Ask for a portfolio

It is not enough for a contractor to just say that they are good at their work; they need to have proof, just as in other professions such as fashion design. A portfolio contains work that has been undertaken by the contactor, for example pictures of previous kerbing projects that have been undertaken for other clients. This will assist you to gauge the experience that the contractor has working in this specific kind of work.

Test Creativity

In the modern world, people are always looking for unique finishing to their projects in order to make these projects stand out. Therefore, you should only hire a contractor (such as Crosscut Concrete Sawing & Drilling) who has demonstrated a lot of artistic and creative ability in their previous work. The contractor's levels of creativity can be judged alongside their experience through the portfolio.

Confirm Training

Any type of construction and design work requires hands on training by experts in the field. You should therefore ensure that your preferred contractor has the necessary skills and certification for working in the industry. Hiring untrained contractors may actually turn out to be disastrous if kerbs laid out in high traffic areas such as roads is weak and can easily break.

When one sees a kerb, they naturally suspect that it is there to prevent them from getting to particular area. Therefore, laying out kerbs can actually help to keep children away from unsafe locations such as swimming pools and roads. It is necessary to ensure that you contract the best qualified contractor in order to ensure high quality, attractiveness and safety all at the same time.
