Are there special needs to be concerned with when dealing with commercial developers?
Many of the less experienced developers just care about how fast you can do it, and they want it done as cheaply as possible. Often these lots are under-designed for the loads they will have to carry. In this situation, the owners are compromising the integrity of the lot because they are so focused on getting the doors open to the shopping center on a certain date. They aren’t thinking about how a parking lot failure will inconvenience their shoppers later. Hot Mix Technology-July/Aug.2006-Pg.
