That's not true and is true at the same time. Most are trying to get out of the trades and will do share seminars etc. Gen x onwards and licensed.To be fair, most tradies are not exactly wise with money either.
The price of land is appreciating far more than the price of construction.
25- 40 bucks an hour they get paid.But not everywhere, only in high demand areas. Land is cheap outside the capital cities but the cost of construction remains relatively high everywhere. I don't know any tradies (other than apprentices) that work for less than $60/hr. Globally, that is very high for tradespeople and given that labour represents at least 50% of the cost of a new house, has a huge impact on the price of residential construction in Australia.

If running a business then you are charging min $100/h.
Because you have to cover:
Quotes
Travel
Times you are not working ( wet days, no work).
On top of the usual business expenses.
Across the world Labor costs are in fact 40%
Canada
UK
US
And Philippines non-provincial up to 45%, provincial 35%.
You can build a cheap house here if you don't build the mansions everyone has become accustomed to.
Supply & demand have nothing to do with race.
Go back to reddit.
supply and demand don't. but his comments were blatantly racist.
you can take that racist ideology elsewhere.
No they weren't. Go back to reddit.supply and demand don't. but his comments were blatantly racist.

Until the day comes,when Labor(?) allows tradies from the Philippines into this place,house prices ain't never coming down.Never,ever!
seriously? you are blaming house prices never coming down on something that hasn't happened based on the racist notion that immigrants are going to make things worse?

What was racist about it? Because tradies over there work for less?
everything seems racist thesedays
No they weren't. Go back to reddit.
It's roughly the same % all over the world.The actual cost is the amount charged to the consumer not the amount paid to the employee. I haven't paid an independent contractor less than $60/hr for a number of years now. I'm sure on residential builds the cost of plumbers, sparkies and other tradies can't possibly be less than $60/hr as the builder will be marking up their services to make a profit on the project.
You could be right here. I'm only going off my own experience.
seriously? He specifically mentions house prices wont go down because Labour are going to let in Filipino trades. He specifically mentions race, but its not racist? Sure, placing bad house prices on an immigration policy that doesn't exist for a situation that hasn't occured on a specific set of people isn't racist? Are you an idiot? lol
Supply and demand has nothing to do with race, you are correct. Blaming future immigration on high house prices shouldn't have anything to do with it, if the argument was purely about supply and demand.
and telling me to go back to reddit? what is that? i don't understand. i'm not on reddit. but i guess this is meant to be an insult? you could try using an argument.
I know its not your comment.Prices won't go down until Labour lets in Philo tradies, hence tradies that will work for less

Not sure where you're situated but some of the high rise 'scrapers in melbourne's southbank that have been built over the past decade or so are rapidly approaching the point of resembling old communist blocks from the soviet union.In my view the most troubling aspects of the housing bubble is the acceleration of apartment construction and ownership. Why ?
1) The build quality of high rise apartments ranges from shoddy to questionable. Flammable cladding, poor construction procedures are showing up in many units
2) Each Block has multiple owners. Hence there will huge problems addressing end of life and maintenance issues
3) If/when the block becomes too costly to renovate the final value of each apartment will be a small portion of the land size less demolition costs. Historically even when a house becomes dilapidated the land value has risen substantially. This will not be the case for apartment buyers in the 21st Century.
The critical time will come when banks and insurance companies have to insure the sale of older units. We'll see.
They actually banned BBQ on patios in a lot of apartments in Sydney due to complaints. Same thing was happening.Not sure where you're situated but some of the high rise 'scrapers in melbourne's southbank that have been built over the past decade or so are rapidly approaching the point of resembling old communist blocks from the soviet union.
I & the other half briefly rented one when I was living there and it beggared belief. The fumes when you stuck your head out the window/stood on the bakery at tea time were incredible as hundreds upon hundreds of meals were cooked on bbq's, woks etc on 3/4 of the balconies in southbank all at the same time.
And then there was the absolute state of some of the places when you got the occasional look (or smell) through a neighbour's door or over the road to the building opposite etc etc. It was damn near squalor.
9/10ths of the residents didn't care about any of it.
Most of them would have to be vertical ghettos by now.
Oh no you outed him now.Sorry off the topic, saw your in Melbourne @over9k you don't happen to have the same custom plates on your car do you? Saw a bmw not long ago around bayside with plates "over9k"
Oh no you outed him now.
