Default Advice re laying a new large lawn

I have just moved into a new house with a large rear garden 30m x 30m.

It has been rotavated over by builders, but it is very soft and loose,
with large lumps of clay.

Apart from the obvious brick ends that will have to remove, and giving
it a good rotavating over to make a fine bed.

Whats the best way of compacting the soil ready for turfing ??

Its too big to walk on, but its very sticky to use a roller.
