rich schwartz

Im looking for current commercial labor prices in the state of Ohio in the Cleveland vicinity. Can anybody direct me to a free site ? Which lists them? I need Union and Non union prices all help is appreciated.

In chicago union prices are 65.00 75.00 an hour.

Non union is 45.00 65.00 depending on the job and conditions.

When you are quoting your prices for commercal work, are you bidding at an hourly rate? Or are you giving a fixed cost price for specific work, and does this typically include material.

I've just gotta ask- what are you planning on doing with these prices, considering they're really not useful for anything?

I hope you're not planning on basing your prices on what you find out here, since the numbers you may get will have absolutely no basis in your reality- what your overhead costs are, your workers' salaries, etc.

I've seen a couple of bids where the general conditions required that I use the prevailing local wage rates. I think a certified payroll was implied.

Yeah, I have turned in a couple of bids where I had to provide for my employees at the prevailing wage rates for their field. In Illinois I can look it up at IDOL.com (Illinois Dept. of Labor), they update it each month. This last summer I had a high school helper on and for one project I informed him he would be making about $22.50/hr - so he better be jumping - Nope, he just worked at his same laid back pace. I was pretty happy to drop him back down to earth the following week.
