Rates vary by certification, process, and region within the state. These ranges reflect typical shop and field rates for AWS-certified welders.
These are typical market rates — not prevailing wage on public jobs. Add 25–35% for total loaded cost (payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, tools). Add 15–25% markup on top of loaded cost as the shop's contribution to overhead and profit.
Licensing & Certification
Florida requires a State Certified Welding Contractor license (Specialty Structure) or a local county/city license depending on the jurisdiction. Miami-Dade has its own product approval process. No statewide journeyman welding license — individual certification (AWS CW or CWI) is preferred by GCs but not mandated.
AWS Code Adoption
FDOT mandates AWS D1.1 for state bridge and highway structural steel. Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) adds uplift requirements that can drive additional weld specifications on metal building connections. Coastal saltwater exposure usually bumps filler metal to low-hydrogen grades (E7018-H4R or better).
