How much do elevator constructors earn on prevailing wage jobs in Illinois?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a elevator constructor classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.

Elevator Constructor prevailing wage questions
What is the prevailing wage for a elevator constructor in Illinois?
Across the 100 federal and state-funded determination records WageFinder lists for elevator constructors in Illinois, total prevailing wage runs from $96.43 to $123.61 per hour, median $104.34. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.
Does the elevator constructor rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. Of the 100 Illinois records on this page, 100 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $40.69 per hour — roughly 39% of the median total. The rest list no separate fringe, meaning the base rate is the whole obligation. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.
