Price the measured scheme—not a generic day rate
The workbench keeps install, removal, maintenance attendance, design, equipment hire, vehicles, entered authority costs, travel, subcontractors, damage reserve, overhead and margin visible. Extension days reprice the resources that remain on hire and the attendance you specify.
Boundary: commercial costing, not traffic-management design
The tool prices only the quantities and approved scope entered by the user. It does not design a temporary traffic-management scheme, determine competence requirements, issue a permit or decide whether a road closure, signal arrangement or speed restriction is appropriate.
