re: Construction Management Salaries

In industrial (plants) construction, it is very common for all employees to get $80-$120 a day in per diem (food + housing) compensation. This goes to the time keepers on site to the project manager. Some companies charge different per diem rates depending on the position. Per diem is usually paid every day in the month. So at $80 per diem and a 30 day month, they get $2,400. But they are usually living in an apartment or camper trailer close to the site.
