How your rate is set
Your rate is published, not bargained. Here is what makes it up, and how a stronger record raises it.
You never have to argue about your day rate. It is set in the open, the same way for everyone.
The published base rate
Buildpal publishes a base day rate for each trade. No booking pays less, and every rate sits above the statutory minimum.
Your tier premium
The higher your tier, the more you earn for the same work. Your tier grows with reliability, quality and attendance.
Extras a contractor can add
A contractor can add a premium or a completion bonus to a booking. They can't lower your rate.
