How do Utah contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 48+ Utah contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Utah contractors bill $5/hr above the national median
Utah's booming population growth along the Wasatch Front drives strong contractor demand. Salt Lake City metro rates track 15-20% above the state median, with data center construction and tech campus work offering premium contracts.
For a 10-tech shop, that $5/hr difference means $100K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
