In my place, the pay for the carpenters vary but their pay is based on the labor law to pay laborers at 500 a day worming from 8 to 4 in the afternoon. And there's no free snacks and lunch. They have to bring their own provision.

My mum always offer those carpenters free snacks whenever they come to work for us in my house.

We also do the same. The time our flooring was changed to tiles we hired carpenters who can also do the masonry. We offered them free snacks heavy snacks for them to sustain. They're pitiful people.

Over here in my country it depends on the kind of job you are hiring them to do that is going to determine the amount they are going to charge you for working on daily basis. But it's usually within $20 to $25.

Well, inflation is very high in many countries and this is why many labours like carpenters usually charge a lot of money. Carpenters who work at huge projects charge even more on daily basis.

The rate of carpenter's fee varies from one city to another in my country. With this reason, I cannot give you the exact salary rate for these people. It is based on the acceptable rates.

Some of them will even charge more than that especially when the person is very good at it

Well, they are charging a really good amount of money because they have to deal with many expenses and other things as well. These expenses might be related to work. They may also need to consider fuel expenses as well.

Carpenters in my country don't charge for jobs daiky. They charge as a contract. You call them to roof a house, they negotiate for the whole job and do it whenever they can finish.

Majority of the carpenters in my country charge money on daily basis. They do not charge salaries rather they charge wages. They are not working as employees. They are rather working as freelancers.

That is very nice because we should always take care of people even though they come to work for us and we will still pay them

They just sum up the cost of the job and tell you. Most people are moving away from that practice of paying artisans daily. Most times, those guys just stretch the work longer to keep getting pay.

If I tell a carpenter to roof a house for me, he would tell me the cost, we negotiate and agree on a price for the job. I pay him. The number of days he wants to use and complete the work is his problem.

This is one of the aspects of African culture I love. The hospitality. If someone comes to work in your house, you must offer the person something to eat even if you are paying the person.

I believe that everything depends on the arrangement that you have with the carpenter that you are going to give the job to do for you because there are some people that would like to agree on daily pay when they are doing that kind of job instead of a general fixed contract price.
