Common questions
What is the going rate for a carpenter in Dublin?
Between €24 and €30 an hour depending on whether the work is first fix, second fix or shuttering. Shuttering carpenters on a frame package sit at the upper end, often with regular Saturday overtime.
Do I need a trade certificate to work as a carpenter?
Most main contractors ask for a recognised qualification or evidence of a completed apprenticeship, alongside a valid Safe Pass. Time served carpenters without papers can still be placed on some sites, so talk to us.
