Take note that salary of each personnel will be differ from each region, company, experience and scope of works. For example, let say that you will hire a electrician, an ordinary electrician with power and lighting experience will be compensated less compared to an industrial electrician with experience involved in medium/low voltage switchgears, motor control centers and automation. Of course, you will also evaluate the scope of work on what electrician’s experience you need for the job to be productive.
Factors regarding the productive rate will also need to be considered as what we have explained in BASIC LABOR ESTIMATION GUIDE in situation such as the business economy is excellent on that region or you will not hire local workers instead you will bring your own team to that region.
When it comes provincial rates, there are now provinces where construction are booming such as Iloilo City or Cebu City, so will expect that labor cost will be higher in this areas compared to other provinces. Projects must be evaluated and analyzed carefully before you start cost estimation.
