The survey leaves out the self employed, so it is not a bill rate.<\/p>\n<p>What it tells you is the jump between tiers. A pull and replace buys a few hours each from two licensed trades. A layout change buys days from both.<\/p>\n<h2>A worked example off stated inputs<\/h2>\n<p>Take a galley with 17 linear feet of base run and 14 of wall, in the stock line above.
