SERVICE OVERVIEW
Paydata conducts a specialist Construction Salary Survey, covering contractors in the building and civil engineering sectors. This provides construction companies with valuable, accurate and specific external market information to inform reward decisions, much of which is not available anywhere else.

High staff turnover can affect business’ ability to retain talented and experienced members of the team and can impact staff morale, placing additional pressure on your existing employees.

To avoid losing highly skilled and extensively trained staff to your competitors, our UK construction industry salary surveys help businesses like yours to not only retain, but also attract highly talented personnel from across the industry by ensuring your pay packages are competitive.
