Construction Inspector & Materials Tester prevailing wage, Carson City group, Nevada (12 counties)

Labor Commissioner sets the same construction inspector or materials tester rates, row for row, in 12 counties: Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey and White Pine. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$52.98an hour, fringe benefits included · Soils and Materials Tester

One rate, fringe benefits included (Labor Commissioner prints no split) · Non-union (survey) rate · Amendment 01, effective 2026-10-13

On Nevada public works in each of these 12 counties, a construction inspector or materials tester working as soils and materials tester must be paid at least $52.98 an hour. Labor Commissioner prints one rate with fringe benefits included, so there is no separate base wage.

Labor Commissioner 2026-2027 rates (Oct 1, 2026), effective October 1, 2026. On a bid contract, the rates in effect when bids are opened apply until the contract ends or for 36 months (NRS 338.030(9)). Checked against labor.nv.gov on October 25, 2026.

One rate, fringe benefits included: $52.98

Labor Commissioner publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $52.98. Labor Commissioner doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.
