How much do elevator constructors earn on prevailing wage jobs in Kentucky?

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 Kentucky?

Across the 45 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for elevator constructors in Kentucky, total prevailing wage runs from $93.52 to $95.85 per hour, median $95.85. 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 45 Kentucky records on this page, 45 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $38.44 per hour — roughly 40% 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.

Which Kentucky counties have elevator constructor rates?

This page lists elevator constructor records for 45 counties in Kentucky: Adair, Barren, Boone, Bourbon, Bracken, Calloway, Campbell, Casey, Clark, Clinton, Cumberland, Fayette, and others. Determinations that apply statewide appear under a statewide entry rather than a named county.

How current are these Kentucky elevator constructor rates?

The most recent determination in this set is dated May 18, 2026. WageFinder re-reads the official sources weekly, but the date that matters for compliance is the determination date on the document itself, which is shown on every wage detail page and links back to the government source.
