01
How day rates are set
Day rates vary by trade, location, project type, and urgency. Electricians, dryliners, bricklayers, and labourers often negotiate rates per shift rather than annual salary.
Companies posting on SiteCrew list rates on each job so you can compare before applying.
02
Location matters
London and the South East typically command higher rates than regional cities, but cost of living and travel should factor into your decision.
Use city job pages — Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, and others — to see what is live in your area.
