Main carpenter classification in each county, Davis-Bacon wage determinations on SAM.gov, as of October 25, 2026. A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)). Checked October 25, 2026.

Questions about Tennessee carpenter pay

What is the carpenter prevailing wage in Shelby County?

$44.94 an hour: a $30.20 base wage plus $14.74 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TN20260200, modification 1. Overtime and every carpenter classification in Shelby County.

Does carpenter prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Shelby County the $44.94 total is a $30.20 base wage plus $14.74 in fringe benefits, about 33% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does carpenter prevailing wage pay overtime in Tennessee?

Davis-Bacon rates are straight time. On contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires 1½ times the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (40 U.S.C. 3702). The fringe is owed for every hour at its straight-time amount.

Do apprentice carpenters get this rate?

Davis-Bacon determinations list journeyworker rates. Apprentices in a program registered with DOL or a recognized state agency can be paid the program's percentage of the rate, within its ratio; anyone else gets the full rate (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)).

Why do some counties have the same carpenter rate?

DOL often publishes the same carpenter rates for several counties. Across Tennessee, the 96 counties with a carpenter rate fall into 77 distinct sets of rates, and 19 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 2 counties (the Bradley County group).
