Project manager rates FAQ
What is a typical project manager charge-out rate?
Project manager charge-out is typically billed on T&M for owner-directed extras, not as a salaried overhead line on every ticket. Confirm whether the job allows PM hours before you put them on a LEM. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus project manager page for a single market.
Is the project manager 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 project manager 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.
