Saskatchewan rates FAQ

What are construction charge-out rates in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan charge-out rates in this index are fully loaded T&M ranges for labor and equipment, in CAD, as of 2026-08. They are not wages. Saskatchewan rates follow potash, oil, and prairie civil out of Saskatoon and Regina. Equipment moves with harvest and shutdown calendars. These CAD charge-out ranges are fully loaded T&M numbers, not operator wages.

Are Saskatchewan rates wages or billable T&M?

Billable T&M. Low, median, and high already include a public view of burden, overhead, and margin. They are not take-home pay and they are not a quote.

Can I put these Saskatchewan numbers on an invoice?

No. This is a public benchmark. 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 Saskatchewan?

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.
