FAQ Moves and Changes

 

1) Where does the data come from?

 

This is anecdotal information revised each month in discussion with our recruitment staff. In the course of their day to day activities, salary levels are constantly discussed and can be accurately assessed from real amounts offered to the candidates we place into jobs. So, while not statistical, the data is from a real source and interpreted by people actively engaged in recruitment in these sectors.

 

2) There are salaries being paid outside the maximum and minimum parameters shown in the salary survey.

 

In a sector where individual ability is paramount, there will always be examples of people who fall below or above the parameters we have given. However, the majority of salaries do fall within these parameters. Nevertheless, the salary survey it is intended as a guideline only.

 

3) Does the data take account of geographic differences?

 

To a point. The difficulty with regional variations is that while they undoubtedly exist, they are not straightforward. The traditional ‘North/South divide’ has been eroded in recent years and more importantly, there are (and have always been) variations within a region. For example, a salary of £40000 in Central London, may translate into a salary of £40000 in Central Manchester, but only £35000 in Canterbury, Kent. While cities tend to generate employment at higher salaries, the scarcity of qualified staff in more rural areas mitigates this to a degree.

 

4) What about contract/hourly rates?

 

The salary survey does not cover contract rates but broadly speaking an equivalent hourly rate can be calculated for any given role using the following formula.

 

Annual salary                              

-----------------------------------------      x 1.1

1800 (hours per annum).

 

This works to around £55K, salaries above which contractors are much rarer.

 

5) Points 1 to 4 above apply equally to MAC jobs.

 

6) For these purposes, the distinction between project managers and moves managers, is that the former oversees construction projects and thus has a working knowledge of building regulations, architectural design and CAD, while the latter is confined to demountable, items, furniture and associated services. It is acknowledged that to a point these roles can and do overlap.

 

7) We have made no distinction between those working for end users and those working for service providers.
