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

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 Massachusetts?

Across the 18 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for elevator constructors in Massachusetts, total prevailing wage runs from $104.85 to $112.61 per hour, median $112.61. 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 18 Massachusetts records on this page, 18 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $38.44 per hour — roughly 34% 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 Massachusetts counties have elevator constructor rates?

This page lists elevator constructor records for 14 counties in Massachusetts: Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, Plymouth, and others.

How current are these Massachusetts elevator constructor rates?
