To help monitor wage rate inflation (and other contractual issues), FIS launched in 2021 The FIS Wage Rate Index. The aim of this work is to support contract negotiations and to help track the impact of labour shortage on the cost breakdown of projects.

The survey is conducted every six months and FIS is asking all contractor members to take part. Data is published as a price index to allow for regional rate variations and all company specific data is managed in the strictest of confidence. The survey covers core trade roles, labourers, apprentices and construction and site managers.

THE DETAILED RESULTS OF THE SURVEY WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO CONTRIBUTORS.

You can complete the survey via the link here. The survey will close early in the New Year. If you cannot complete, please share the link with the person in your business who can.

Your support is, as ever, appreciated.
