Why Pittsfield prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 4 trades: cement masons and concrete finishers at 50%, construction laborers at 30%, carpenters at 10%, operating engineers and other construction equipment operators at 10%. Weighted together, Pittsfield wages are 1.10 times the national level. Labor makes up about 55% of the midpoint estimate (51% at national prices). BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Massachusetts statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Pittsfield is at 97.0 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,050 nationally becomes $1,000 here (midpoint, 300 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 95.1: $50 to $380.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Pittsfield. The wage table below marks each row.

Pittsfield weather and the concrete patio calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Pittsfield Muni Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For pouring concrete, the comfortable months in Pittsfield are May through September: 5 of 12. Outside them, January, February, March, April, October, November and December have an average overnight low of 40°F or below.
The 40°F line is a deliberately cautious stand-in. The American Concrete Institute's cold-weather guide (ACI 306R-16) defines cold-weather concreting around an average daily air temperature below 40°F, which is colder than our test of an average overnight low at or below 40°F, so we flag a few extra shoulder months. In cold weather crews may need heated enclosures, insulating blankets or accelerated mixes, and those measures can raise a quote.
Pittsfield gets about 44 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, September and October (4.6 inches in June). Inside the workable window, May and August are the driest, at 3.8 and 3.8 inches. The station averages about 3 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
| Month | Avg high °F | Avg low °F | Precip (in) | For this job |
|---|---|---|---|---|

What local crews earn in Pittsfield
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 4 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Pittsfield the blend is 1.10.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Pittsfield metro, so we used the Massachusetts statewide median: $30.69 an hour against $27.41 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $26.87 and $37.60 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $25.06 an hour, which is 11% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.32 and $30.23 an hour. BLS counts 350 of them working in the area, 61.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.31 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.70 and $37.40 an hour. About 430 work in the metro. That is 75.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.99 an hour, 8% above the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $23.72 and $36.05 an hour. About 150 work in the metro. That is 26.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (cement masons and concrete finishers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $170 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $95. That is a swing of roughly 3.5% to 6.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Pittsfield has 56,810 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 298th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
