What is behind the Yuma number
Labor is 35% of the midpoint bill here, against 38% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is sheet metal workers (40%), roofers (30%), construction laborers (30%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Yuma the blended ratio comes out at 0.86. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Yuma is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,600 nationally becomes $1,550 here (midpoint, 160 linear ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 92.7: $0 to $190.
Data note: 70% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Yuma. The wage table below marks each row.

What local crews earn in Yuma
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 Yuma the blend is 0.86.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 40% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $24.16 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.19 and $33.14 an hour.
Roofers (47-2181) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $22.76 an hour against $26.65 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.16 and $28.43 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $20.80 an hour, which is 8% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.60 and $22.84 an hour. BLS counts 570 of them working in the area, 82.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (sheet metal workers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $130 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $85. That is a swing of roughly 3.3% to 5.0% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Yuma has 68,880 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 262nd by size among the 300 metros on this site.
