Labor costs should be no more than 20 to 30 percent on a construction project. The cost may be lower for residential projects and higher for commercial projects.
Even including benefits and payroll taxes, labor costs are roughly 20-30% of construction contracts, according to the Census of Construction (Phillips 1998).4 Thus, for example, if labor costs are 25% of total costs and prevailing wage rules raise wages by 10%, the impact on contract costs would be no more than 2.5%.
