Who does the work: Vineland trade wages
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 Vineland the blend is 1.30.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 50% of the weighting: a median of $29.37 an hour, 7% above the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $23.64 and $32.82 an hour. About 60 work in the metro. That is 9.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 13.3 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $40.23 an hour, which is 78% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $23.01 and $46.68 an hour. BLS counts 440 of them working in the area, 70.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $36.89 an hour, 28% above the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $28.24 and $58.94 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 28.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.50 an hour, 5% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.87 and $50.65 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 28.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (cement masons and concrete finishers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $100 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $170. That is a swing of roughly 3.9% to 2.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Vineland has 62,300 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 279th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Specs and site conditions that change a Vineland bid
Finish
A broom finish is the baseline. Stamped, stained, or exposed-aggregate finishes are priced as add-ons on top of the slab.
Thickness and mix
A 4-inch slab uses about 1.23 cubic yards of concrete per 100 sq ft; a 6-inch slab uses about 1.85. Stepping up from a 3,000 PSI to a 4,000-4,500 PSI mix adds $10-$40 per cubic yard (Estimators.us).
Base and reinforcement
A compacted gravel base, vapor barrier, and wire mesh or rebar are priced separately by some contractors and bundled by others. Ask which one your quote does.
Cost by quality level and size in Vineland
The cited range is split into basic, standard and premium bands, then scaled to Vineland. Bands overlap, because plenty of standard jobs cost as much as a light premium one. Sizes run from 10x10 pad (100 sq ft) to 30x40 foundation (1,200 sq ft).
Basic

The best months for concrete slab in Vineland
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Millville Muni Ap (10 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 Vineland are April through October: 7 of 12. Outside them, January, February, March, 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.
Vineland gets about 43 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, July and August (4.6 inches in August). Inside the workable window, May and September are the driest, at 3.1 and 3.1 inches. The station averages about 22 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 42 | 24 | 3.1 | Cold |
