What is the labour cost of a Carpenter doing block board cabinets per day/ per Sq foot. How do I tell if I am being overcharged.

Finishing works is delicate. I find it better to do piece rates rather than daily labour charges. If you get a good profesional carpenter, they will charge depending on materials used and complexity of the work. As a rule of thumb work with 30% to 40% of materials

Noted, is the rate still 30/40 or has it come down due to the high cost of materials?
