CALLING ALL BRICKLARERS CARPENTERS PLUMBERS ECT ALREADY IN OZ
HI ALL HAVE BEEN READING A STORY ABOUT A PLUMBER WHO IS GETTING S**T MONEY AND IS NOW MOVING BACK TO THE UK
. SO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD IF ANY OF YOU TRADESMAN OUT THERE(BRICKLAYER CHIPPY PLUMBER PLASTERER ECT)WOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO SHARE YOUR AVERAGE HOURLY RATE AND AREA YOU ARE WORKING IN. SO PEOPLE CAN GET A TRUE FEEL FOR WHAT IT IS REALLY LIKE AND IF THEY CAN REALLY AFFORD TO BE THERE.
THANKS RACHEL

This question has been asked a million times..
Do a search on the forum, for WAGES or TRADIES im sure with some research you will find definitive answers..
I take it, you are migrating with 3 tradesmen? a bricky plumber and a chippy?
Working for a company, expect wages circa 1000-1500 per week.. dependant on area, level of work, skill, and good/bad boss.
Self employed, circa 1000-1500 per week pmsl + what you dont show the taxman

Hubby - Electrician $30.50 per hour in Adelaide ($60k per annum) working on PLC's (6:30am to 3pm). Lots of O/T if he wants it at time and half for three hours then double after that.
He could get more working on domestics, but we don't want the long hours that come with it.

Bottom line ...people want work done properly,and expect it to last..be it by 'a cottage business' or a surf dude who wears shades while fixing plasterboard and wears flip flops during work hours!! ..I know who'd I choose.
Keep me informed of your property build,I'd like to see how it progresses
