Scaffolder rates FAQ
What is a typical scaffolder charge-out rate?
Scaffolder charge-out is erection and dismantle T&M labor. Scaffold rental and engineering are separate lines. Industrial and shutdown work sit at the high end of the range. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus scaffolder page for a single market.
Is the scaffolder 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 scaffolder 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.
