Boilermaker rates FAQ
What is a typical boilermaker charge-out rate?
Boilermaker charge-out is pressure-vessel and boiler T&M labor. Shutdown and industrial work sit at the high end. These are fully loaded billable hours, not a union package. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus boilermaker page for a single market.
Is the boilermaker figure a wage or a charge-out?
A labor charge-out, not a wage. Burden, overhead, and margin are already in the published range. Overtime rules belong on the project rate sheet.
Can I bill the central boilermaker reference?
Not from this page alone. The central value is a public check, not a measured market median. SubTrack rate sheets are where your class, standby, and OT actually live.
