Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ed White has skills like project estimation, construction management, and Primavera P6, which are in demand. He’s based in Wyckoff, NJ, which is a suburb of New York City, an area with a high cost of living. Construction professionals with similar skills in the NYC area can charge higher rates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction managers in the NYC area can earn around $95,000 per year. Let’s estimate Ed’s hourly rate based on this. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, that’s around $94 per hour. Considering Ed’s skills and location, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is slightly lower than the average construction manager in the NYC area.
