How prevailing wage works in Virginia
Electricians on federally funded construction in Virginia must be paid at least the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage for their classification and county. The U.S. Department of Labor publishes these rates as general wage determinations on SAM.gov, and federal contracting agencies incorporate the applicable determination into each covered contract. This page tracks 187 determinations covering Virginia.
On state-funded public works, Virginia DOLI publishes its own prevailing-wage schedules, which can differ from the federal rates in classifications, area definitions, and overtime treatment. When a project triggers both federal and state requirements, contractors owe the higher rate for each hour in each classification. Verify the controlling schedule with Virginia DOLI before bidding.
Use the determination table below as your starting point: match your project's county and construction type, then open the source document to confirm the classification definitions, footnotes, and any-Series modifications. Published rates are minimums — union agreements and tight labor markets routinely clear them — and misclassification (billing journeyman hours at a laborer rate) is one of the most common prevailing-wage violations.
Display note: we exclude rates below $12/hr base from this page. These are typically rural residential determinations at or near federal minimum wage, data-entry artifacts, or structurally non-journeyman classifications that misrepresent prevailing wage for commercial electrical work. The full dataset remains available via SAM.gov directly.

Virginia prevailing wage FAQs
What is the prevailing wage for electricians in Virginia?
Across the 151 electrician rates currently tracked, totals (base + fringe) range from $1.80 to $82.56 per hour, with a median of $50.98. Your project's county and construction type determine which row applies.
How is the electrician prevailing wage set in Virginia?
Federal Davis-Bacon rates come from Department of Labor surveys of locally prevailing union and open-shop packages, published as SAM.gov wage determinations per county group and construction type. State-funded work additionally follows Virginia DOLI schedules.
Do apprentice electricians earn the full journeyman rate?
Registered apprentices in approved programs are typically paid a progression percentage of the journeyman base rate, while fringe treatment varies by determination and program. Unregistered workers generally must receive the full journeyman package. Confirm the apprentice terms in the determination footnotes and your program agreement.
Why are rates below $12/hr excluded?
We exclude rates below $12/hr base from display. These are typically rural residential determinations at or near federal minimum wage, data-entry artifacts, or structurally non-journeyman classifications that misrepresent prevailing wage for commercial electrical work. The full dataset remains available via SAM.gov directly, and our database retains every ingested row for audit.
Where can I verify the official Virginia rates?
Start with the source-document links in the determination table — federal rows link to SAM.gov, state rows to the publishing agency. For binding answers on coverage, classification, and conformance, contact the DOL Wage and Hour Division or Virginia DOLI.
