A trailer and a guard are not the same thing, and we would rather say so than win on a rigged number. A guard can physically intervene, sign people through a gate, escort a delivery, and use judgement. A trailer cannot. What it does instead is watch the entire parcel at once, all night, every night, without breaks or shift changes, and record all of it.
Plenty of sites are best served by both — a guard at the gate during pours and deliveries, trailers covering the perimeter and the finished units overnight. What this calculator shows is the direct cost of hours purchased, nothing more. It does not count the loss you avoid, the schedule you protect, or the footage an adjuster accepts.
