Builder Labour Rates

Page 1 of 1
We are about to undertake a 2 storey house renovation in sydney with an approx value of 700k. We have been quoted labour rates by a builder of $95 per/hr + 15% BM + 10% gst. Just wondering what people are paying on average?
what kind of a labour they are talking about?
If it is a plumber or electrician, can easily be his real rate.

We pay day rates which are now incredibly high post COVID.

Its hard to get a labourer for under $300 ( used to be $150), Chippies are $600-800, Painters $500-600 per day.

So depending which trades he is talking about it's probably not too far off
