emt, or GRCis the first question.....
not everyone who can do thinwall does GRC well.
pipe work is electrical work, and so... you can see what prevailing wage
is for the union governing that area... i'm assuming this isn't work out
of the hall... :huh:
i googled, and it came up with $50k a year or so, for a commercial sparky...

that doesn't sound right.... a thousand a week is $25 an hour.....
that *really* doesn't sound right....
Depends on how good a person is at running pipe. If the scrap pile is bigger than the amount of pipe installed, you might not want to pay to much for them.
Ladders and on the ground ill be doing the work I wanted a ballpark figure that I could thro at him .its side work on the weekends

Ok cool so I wasn't far off I told him 16
16 an hour sounds about right here in FL. Shoot job runners only make about 20. Got to love the South!
:rant::rant::rant::jawdrop: really?Tell him 15 bucks an hour
:rant::rant::rant::jawdrop: really?
what to high?
rates vaqry from area to area , your area may be one price 500 miles away it will be anotherno, quite the opposite.
the OP asked about a rate for work.
it seems you based your response on factors
that don't have anything to do with that work rate...
seriously you think a day one apprentice is capable and as productive as a Jman?that he's an apprentice has nothing do do with
his capabilities, or his productivity doing a specific
task.
the task is "worth" what someone will pay and that is often directly related to the person doing the task.the question was, "what is a specific task worth?"
it was not "what am i worth doing a specific task?"
what is insulting is all the internet millionares who think that every area of the country pays New York city union wages and if you work for less you must be "unskilled". You just insulted alot of good commercial electricians who are willing to work for 15 /hr and not sit around and whine about no jobs.and if your idea is that you can get a good commercial
electrician for $15 an hour, well, that is just insulting to
anyone with any skill level at all.
