I’ll think about helping you out with labor but I can’t beat what a welder is going to make my man.

After all these years do you think is better to build a container house than a wood house?

[apsuaha]

Twelve for skilled, I'm outta MA and $25 and up is my cost, my laborers $18-19. I saw a video outta WA where they're paying $50-60 just to get skilled help.

TLDR: Labor costs have significantly increased, with businesses now having to pay higher wages for basic tasks and skilled trades, leading to higher overall costs for businesses.

00:00 👷 Labor costs in 2022 have increased proportionally to material costs, so doubling the 2019 labor cost estimate is still a good ballpark.
01:20 💰 Labor costs are increasing as businesses struggle to find workers, resulting in higher wages for even basic tasks.
01:50 💰 Labor costs have significantly increased due to higher wages, workman's comp, and general liability audits, ultimately raising the cost for the end user.
02:23 💰 Double the average cost of materials in today's market to estimate labor costs for super crafty shoppers.
02:52 💰 Labor costs can make up a significant portion of your bill, so be prepared to pay your workers well.
03:14 📉 Labor costs can be reduced by having children work for free, but this raises ethical and legal concerns.

Great vid, love to hear the perspective! Great cost, labor, and materials breakdowns, I am looking at putting a business plan together for getting more homes built like these in certain areas around the North East, also looking to build a container home in Maine, I know its up there but would love to chat if you're interested.

As a business owner i can completely relate to the comment at 1:00
Just bought a container for my business - hoping to use it as a shed/office. Do you have a video on your channel that would help with such a design?
Cheers!

Hi I want to build a 4 shipping container house. How can I contact you?

[threetreesfarm]

If y'all built in VA I would like to hire you!

[SandyNoblitt]

Oh, of course. People can't afford anything. They need to pay money to live off it. Not $12 bucks an hour. That pay goes to gas and another high cost.

[oscarroque]

If only owners could keep paying slave wages, right? 😶

[tinnakajackson]

Well just like it cost more for materials and you charge more labor want more too things have gone up more for them or shall I say us too

[cbowenjr]

[darrylbutt]

[jjlicata]
