Bricklayer prevailing wage, Suffolk (independent city) group, Virginia (8 localities)

DOL sets the same bricklayer rates, row for row, in 8 localities: Gloucester, Isle of Wight, James City, Mathews, Poquoson (city), Suffolk (city), Williamsburg (city) and York. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$32.67an hour, base + fringe

$22.44 wage + $10.23 fringe benefits · Residential · BRVA0001-002

On federally funded or assisted residential construction in each of these 8 localities, a bricklayer must be paid at least $32.67 an hour: a $22.44 base wage plus $10.23 in fringe benefits, under wage determination VA20260153 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $32.67 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination VA20260153, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for residential construction; rate identifier BRVA0001-002 (May 1, 2022). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

Virginia's prevailing wage for state-funded public works over $250,000, and for localities that adopt it by ordinance, uses these same rates: DOLI's wage determinations "are based on" the Davis-Bacon ones, with no project-specific determinations (Va. Code 2.2-4321.3; DOLI). Only DOLI's official copy sent to the contracting agency counts for official purposes.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $22.44 + $10.23

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe benefits 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.

Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)$10.23
