How do Kansas contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 40+ Kansas contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Kansas contractors bill $1/hr above the national median
Kansas contractors bill below the national median, but Kansas City metro rates track closer to Missouri's higher averages. Rural Kansas shops that haven't benchmarked in 2+ years are likely leaving $10-15/hr on the table.
For a 10-tech shop, that $1/hr difference means $20K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
