What What Does Road Line Marking Cost in Adelaide??
Adelaide's road network includes DIT SA (Department for Infrastructure and Transport) managed roads and local council roads. Specifications and approval requirements vary, affecting pricing.
Adelaide road marking runs $1.50-$4 per linear metre for paint, $6-$14 per linear metre for thermoplastic. These rates are competitive with eastern states.
An Adelaide Hills council asked us to quote rural road edge lines. The winding roads and varying widths made measurement challenging. We conducted a detailed survey and quoted $24,000 for 8km of edge lines including traffic management. Accurate measurement upfront prevented variations during the job.
We underestimated a regional SA road job in 2017. The access was more difficult than anticipated and travel time between sections ate into productivity. We honoured our quote but learned to account properly for regional work logistics. Now our regional quotes include realistic travel and access considerations.
