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.
Pipefitter rates FAQ
What is a typical pipefitter charge-out rate?
Pipefitter / steamfitter charge-out is a journeyman T&M labor line. Industrial and process work sit at the high end of the range. These are fully loaded billable hours, not a union package. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus pipefitter page for a single market.
Is the pipefitter 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 pipefitter 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.
