What What Does Road Line Marking Cost in Melbourne??
Road marking costs more than carpark marking because of traffic management requirements and material specifications. You're not just paying for paint, you're paying for safe, compliant work on active roads.
Paint road marking in Melbourne runs $1.50-$4 per linear metre depending on line width and quantity. Thermoplastic costs $6-$15 per linear metre but lasts 4-8 years compared to 12-24 months for paint.
A Melbourne council asked us to quote 12km of residential street edge lines. Paint quote: $28,000 including traffic management. Thermoplastic quote: $65,000. They chose paint for budget reasons but scheduled remarking every 2 years. Over 8 years, paint cost more than thermoplastic would have.
We learned about traffic management costs the hard way. Early on, we underquoted a road job without properly accounting for traffic control. The job took twice as long as planned because of traffic volumes. Now we assess traffic conditions before quoting and include realistic traffic management costs.
