Use your agreed rates on every daily ticket.
These public ranges are a benchmark. SubTrack stores the rates you agreed with the client on a project rate sheet. Crews apply those rates to labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractors on the daily ticket. The same figures carry into reporting and the billing documents you send.
Hawaii rates FAQ
What are construction charge-out rates in Hawaii?
Hawaii rows in this index are fully loaded T&M reference ranges for labor and equipment, in USD, effective 2026-08. They are not wages and they are not a live market survey. Hawaii charge-out rates include freight, barge, and a small contractor pool. A mainland iron number will understate the ticket. These USD T&M ranges are public benchmarks; add inter-island mobilization before you bill.
Are Hawaii rates wages or billable T&M?
Billable T&M reference ranges. Low, central, and high already include a public view of burden, overhead, and margin. They are not take-home pay, not a measured market median, and not a quote.
Can I put these Hawaii numbers on an invoice?
No. This is a public reference book. SubTrack rate sheets lock your crew numbers to the project so every LEM bills the rate the client signed.
Is this index union or open shop for Hawaii?
It is a blended public range, not a union package and not a PLA. Confirm against the agreement on the job, then store that number on the project rate sheet.
