Why Greenville prices look the way they do
Labor is 28% of the midpoint bill here, against 30% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is carpenters (60%), electricians (20%), general maintenance and repair workers (20%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Greenville the blended ratio comes out at 0.89.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Greenville is at 96.3 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,450 nationally becomes $1,400 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 93.3: $0 to $190.
Who does the work: Greenville trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 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 Greenville the blend is 0.89.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $24.08 an hour, 17% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.49 and $29.52 an hour. About 1,340 work in the metro. That is 30.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 20%) the local median is $28.95 an hour, which is 5% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.34 and $34.16 an hour. BLS counts 1,670 of them working in the area, 38.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $23.80 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.23 and $30.27 an hour. BLS counts 4,610 of them working in the area, 106.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $75 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $35. That is a swing of roughly 1.7% to 3.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
