Every where I go there is new sites poping up. That has got to be good for us boys. Skill shortage, better rates!! Scaffs are earning more than brikies.

Scaffs are earning more than brikies.

Big issue sellers are earning more than brickies.

lodza new build round ehre in buckshaw ther ebuilding a new village/ town booming marra but liek some have said dont mean the rates are there

Its true what tony sez the worknin hampshire & surrey is picking up. Both social housing sites & private are booming the last 6 months has seen @ least a 30% rise in work. I've been chatting to cdm coordinators who are all of the same thought as well as the builders merchant who are stating much longer delivery time on materials so all in all i reckon we are on the up- even rates are begining to rise so fingrs crossed

 

[Yorkshire Lee]

I reckon it's been booming for about a year or so,or definatly this year anyway i'm having to turn work away.

 

[StoneScaffoldingLtd]

Plenty of new builds in Staffordshire too. We currently have 4 self builds on the go as well.

nobody likes working weekends but if its there you work them its a shame the weekends these days are not worth getting out of bed for i can remember only a few years ago weekends on a industrial job would earn you £500 these days your lucky to net £100 per shift after tax and national insurance wages have dropped atleast £200 £300 a week

 

[scaffy 1980]

I get £190 a shift for sat+suns kev, like you say no where near what we should be on.
