Re: Tradesman rates of pay.
It depends entirely on where you settle.
Christchurch would, you would hope, be very profitable. However, there's media stories of the demand not yet kicking in, permits etc still on hold.
Best of luck, hope you get a more helpful answer soon Might be worth rephrasing the title as a question.

Re: Tradesman rates of pay.
Most tilers I work with work for themselves (self employed) and the going rate
for tiling jobs is around $65 to $85 a square meter depending on what's being laid
I work with tiles but am not a tiler and i work off a minimum of $50 an hour, hope that helps
