How much do builders get paid?

Question

I’m getting some quotes for building work and want to understand what a fair day rate looks like. How much do builders typically get paid per day? We're thinking about an extension or garage conversion right now

Colin · Answer

Average rate is £180-£225 per day.

I would say anything between £200-£300 for a builder or joiner

James · Answer

This is a very difficult question to answer... it all depends on where you are, what you want doing, skill levels, experience, how fast you want the job doing etc..  Ball park a skilled general builder in the south would be looking at £250-£400 per day.  You always have the option of day rate or fixed price though.

Antony · Answer

Day work £200 
Price per Mtr for extension £  1700
