Got some away work coming up for a building firm & they want me to agree an hourly rate or day rate with them,
they won't do it on a price, but the last time I worked away was 7years ago.
The jobs at the moment are 190 miles from home.

So what's the going rates nowadays for working away eg:
Hourly rate/day rate?
Digs?
Food?
Diesel how much a mile?

I know the rates have changed a bit since I used to do it.
We used to do 10-12hrs a day.
So we are looking at a decent day rate for those type of hours.

In 1999 i think we used to get about £11-£12hr an hr,
£80 a week for digs,
£13 a day for food,
35p per mile.

A bloke I worked for a few years back paid me 17p per mile, not working away though but travelling to jobs.
 
good luck if your a subby trying to get digs/food + mileage

on the books i used to get £120/day + 25/day digs + fuel

I pay my guys time and a half for working away plus their digs... it has to be worth their while to work away from home comforts i give labourers £105.00 per day and spreads £180.00 all less 20% on CIS scheme if you are driving just charge your flat hourly rate plus fuel... works for me and thats how i price jobs up
 
last job i worked away i got £200 a day the firm payed for the digs we payed food and fuel but it was only for 4 days.
