Where the Odessa price comes from

We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Odessa the blended ratio comes out at 0.89.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Odessa is at 93.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,450 nationally becomes $1,350 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 93.9: $0 to $190.
Who does the work: Odessa 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 Odessa the blend is 0.89.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.12 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.57 and $28.35 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 22.2 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 $27.46 an hour, which is 10% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.88 and $29.71 an hour. BLS counts 1,030 of them working in the area, 127.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.74 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.48 and $29.07 an hour. BLS counts 770 of them working in the area, 95.2 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 $45 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $35. That is a swing of roughly 1.7% to 2.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Odessa has 80,910 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 235th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
