Okay, let’s calculate this. So Paul has 6+ years of experience as a project estimator, which is a relatively common role in the construction industry. The average salary for a project estimator in Australia is around $80,000-$120,000 per year, depending on experience and location. Since Paul is based in Brisbane, a major city in Australia, his salary might be on the higher side. Considering his experience and education, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is a reasonable rate for a project estimator with similar qualifications and experience. This rate is also in line with national averages for project estimators in Australia.
