2025 Wage & Benefit Survey (for Calendar Year 2024)

Wage & Benefit Survey for Calendar Year 2024

Confidential Survey Form
Welcome to SBCA’s confidential Wage and Benefit survey for Calendar Year 2024!

The purpose of this survey is to provide a means of collecting information that, when compiled, will assist SBCA members in making decisions by comparing their business practices to industry norms. It is NOT the intention of this survey to restrict competition in any way in the building component industry. While participation in this survey is strongly encouraged, it is voluntary. This survey has been pared down from previous versions to encourage participation and reduce the time and effort required to complete.

No member of the SBCA Board of Directors or other component manufacturers will have access to the identity of individual reported figures. Limited SBCA staff with confidentiality agreements in place will view individual reported figures for completion purposes only.
