It provides guidance on how to treat common and recurring challenges encountered in the cost estimating process. This guidance should be used as a tool in the project delivery process.

Slow down – lives are on the line.

Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.

Phone down, eyes up.

Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.

Stay calm

Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
