What are typical construction inspector salaries?

Do some companies pay a lot more for this position than others? What does a top earner make in this field?

What skills should you learn to increase your salary?

If you are making $25.00 hrly you are around the top in this industry.

$25.00 per hour with full benefits maybe.... I work as a contract Inspector, mostly CWI work, and would not even think about taking a job for $25/hr. I generally make $40-$50/hr as a W2 temp. employee...if 1099, usually closer to $60. I am from Indiana but work all over the country and am currently on assignment in Canada.

hello jeff

I don't know what companies you guys work for but I work for the City of Los Angeles and make 35 and change which is about to go to 37.00. Having your Concrete, Masonry or structural steel deputy tickets will get you in.

Dear Jeff,

I have been laid off for almost a year and have the opportunity to go through a program that is sponsored by the state that I live in and other agencies to re-educate myself for another line of work, (college classes, certification classes, etc.)
I was interested in a Construction Inspector career, as it pertains somewhat to the field I was in, Carpentry and Drywall. What are the basic classes, courses and certificates that I need to enter this field? What classes and certificates should I get next and which are in demand? Lastly, are there certain accredited establishments I should get them from? My email address is crypttion@yahoo.com. I appreciate and thank you for your time.

Much Aloha,
