Industry Salary Surveys

Paydata’s specialist Construction Pay and Benefits Survey has been servicing the sector for more over 25 years, covering contractors in the building and civil engineering sectors.

The survey provides construction companies with valuable, accurate and specific external market information to inform pay and reward decisions, much of which is not available anywhere else.

Salary benchmarking can help ensure you are pitching your pay strategy right against your competitors. Paydata work as an independent intermediary, collating construction industry pay rates directly from employers, allowing you to have a comprehensive view of how you pay compared to the market. This data can then be used to effectively manage your pay budgets and inform your pay decisions.
