Rates go up, but hardest task is to find builder By JULIET ROWAN, New Zealand News
Plumbers' rates jumped 16 per cent, from $45 an hour to $52.
In Wellington, the most expensive plumber located by the survey commands $73 an hour.
But Consumer says people are happy to pay. 'It's so hard to get a good builder, plumber or electrician these days - they're all so busy - that most people are more concerned about keeping them on the job than how much they cost.'
The magazine attributes the rising hourly rates to a scarcity of skilled labour, and the Master Builders Federation backs that up.------------------------------------------- posted 9:24 AM :: reference link ::
