Oregon — Level Index
How do Oregon contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 52+ Oregon contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Oregon contractors bill $12/hr above the national median
Oregon's strong environmental regulations and Portland metro growth push rates above the national median. Energy efficiency retrofit work and green building compliance create premium niches for specialized contractors.
For a 10-tech shop, that $12/hr difference means $240K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
