Correct sequence of events?

A bit of a ramble, this so bear with me!
I'm planning to self-build a bungalow at the rear of my property next spring.
The existing driveway (tarmac) runs down the side of the site to a double garage (to be demolished).
I will have a lot of stone, rubble and bricks from the old garage which I intend to use as hardcore for the new driveway (hiring a mini-crusher).
I had intended to dig up the old drive, lay in the services trench and then lay the hardcore (compacted) but leave the rest until the contractors' wagons have finished driving over it.
Will the hardcore base be ok or will it get churned up/mushy during the build.
I could leave the drive as is, although there is a curve to straighten out which will have to be reinforced with something (currently grass), but this will leave me with a considerable quantity of stone and rubble with nowhere to store it.
If you haven't lost the will to live at this point, what are your thoughts?

PS Final planned drive surface, block paving

if its just crushed bricks and block it will be fine, we often on jobs put temporary roads in till the jobs done, strip them out and re lay garden etc.

just make sure you have a good depth 200mm and compact it well a 20ton wagon soon makes a mark.

Thanks, GB

The goalposts have moved a bit.
"The boss" has said that we'll probably go for tarmac in which case I presume I can do what I believe is done on housing estates when all is done excepting the final layer which is added when all the construction work is completed.
Is that ok?

Indeed, surface to bascourse level then leave final surfacing until all construction works are complete.

Making sure the wagons etc don't damage the kerbs/backedgers etc during the build phase.......

[Dave_L]

It'll cost you a little bit more compared to doing the two layers in one visit, as the trafficed basecourse surface will have to be swept clean/washed and a tack coat applied. It's a small price to pay for an undamaged surface though.

Great, thanks for that, Dave
