This is a General Decision document from the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division establishing prevailing wage rates for building construction projects in Puerto Rico.

The decision covers building construction projects (excluding single-family homes and apartments up to 4 stories) across all Puerto Rico counties, effective from the initial publication date of 01/02/2026 through the modification date of 05/18/2026. The document references prevailing wage determination SUPR1993-001 dated 10/29/1993 and establishes hourly wage rates and fringe benefits for various construction classifications. Base rates across all listed trades—including truck drivers, sheet metal workers, HVAC workers, power equipment operators, plumbers, pipefitters, painters, laborers, ironworkers, electricians, cement masons, carpenters, and bricklayers—are uniformly set at $7.25 per hour, with fringe benefits ranging from $0.00 to $0.42 per hour depending on the classification. The document provides detailed guidance on rate identifiers (union rates, union average rates, survey rates, and state-adopted rates), including examples of how to interpret the classification codes and effective dates. It outlines the wage determination appeals process, directing survey-related inquiries to the Branch of Wage Surveys and other wage determination matters to the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations at the U.S. Department of Labor, with procedures for requesting reconsideration and appeals to the Administrative Review Board.
