Anyone in construction industry? If so... (Charlotte, Raleigh: chapel, schools, wage) - North Carolina (NC) - City-Data Forum

what area of the state is good for this work. My husband works in the field and I work as an Asst Project Manager.

Where would we begin to look for this type of work? Any company names you could recommend? Right now we build mostly schools, libraries, commuity centers, etc. - prevailing wage work.

Thanks,

I work in this industry too. You will definitely want to move near or in the triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill); preferrably the Raleigh area.

Do you know about what the pay scale is for the field and/or office in that industry in Raleigh?

We are coming in April for a visit to check it out. Do you have the names of some of the construction outfits in town?

Thanks a bunch.
