There is now a section on the site answering the questions car park owners ask long before they have heard of us: how to plan a paid car park, how to run one properly, and what layout has to do with revenue.
Someone thinking about revenue from a car park for the first time is not searching for our name. They are searching for the answer to a specific question. The assumption is simple: if they find that answer here and it turns out to be a good one, the conversation has already started.
Four pieces: the parking business and its revenue models; planning a paid car park, from the occupancy curve to the rate; day-to-day operation, from access control to reconciliation; and car park layout from a commercial angle.
Specific rates. Each facility sets its own price, so any figure we wrote down would either be wrong or would go stale quickly. What is described instead is the mechanism by which that figure gets worked out for your own site.
We do not design car parks, so dimensions, ramps and building norms are not covered there: that is the designer's field, and the guide says so directly. What we can speak to is the commercial consequence that a layout choice carries for years afterwards.
