hr / Rate per helper

[eecervantes83]

Think about it like this.....
if your help wasn't there, who would grind, move steel, roll up, etc.... You and at what rate?

Charge the customer for the helpers time the same as yours.

Chances are if it was you doing the grunt work you would be doing it faster/better than a helper. That's why you get paid more. I agree a helper should be at a lower rate.

As a customer why would I want to pay the same rate for a helper as an experienced pro?

Exactly what I was thinking
Id say half of my going hourly rate for the helper should be fair enough.
I mean I'm doing all the critical layouts
Welding. Fitups and decisions.
While the help. Does take a beating. Grinding cutting.
