Bricklayer prevailing wage, Bernalillo County group, New Mexico (25 counties)

DWS sets the same bricklayer rates, row for row, in 25 counties: Bernalillo, Catron, Chaves, Cibola, Colfax, Grant, Guadalupe, Harding, Hidalgo, Lincoln, Los Alamos, Luna, McKinley, Mora, Rio Arriba, San Juan, San Miguel, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Sierra, Socorro, Taos, Torrance, Union and Valencia. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$45.45an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum) · Bricklayer/block layer/stonemason

$33.41 base wage + $12.04 fringe benefits · General building

On New Mexico public works in each of these 25 counties, a bricklayer working as bricklayer/block layer/stonemason must be paid at least $45.45 an hour: a $33.41 base wage plus $12.04 in fringe. DWS prints no total, so $45.45 is our sum of the two.

11.1.2.20 NMAC rates for decisions issued from July 1, 2026; this rate, effective July 1, 2026. Each project is governed by one wage rate decision "which shall remain effective for the duration of the project" (11.1.2.14 NMAC). Checked against dws.state.nm.us on October 25, 2026.

DWS lists 4 bricklayer rates for each of these counties, from $45.45 to $45.45 an hour. See all of them.

These rates come from the rule. The DWS wage rate decision issued for the project is what binds.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $33.41 + $12.04

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DWS prints the fringe as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.

Base wage (taxable)$33.41
Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)$12.04
Base + fringe (our sum; DWS prints no total)$45.45
