Where the Logan price comes from
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 4 trades: construction laborers at 40%, operating engineers and other construction equipment operators at 30%, brickmasons and blockmasons at 20%, plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters at 10%. Weighted together, Logan wages are 0.97 times the national level. Labor makes up about 52% of the midpoint estimate (52% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Logan is at 96.4 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $35,600 nationally becomes $34,300 here (midpoint, 450 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 95.9: $95 to $290.
Data note: 20% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Logan. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: Logan 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 Logan the blend is 0.97.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.19 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.88 and $26.60 an hour. BLS counts 650 of them working in the area, 97.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 30% of the weighting: a median of $27.39 an hour, 5% below the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $23.37 and $29.46 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 26.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021) carry 20% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Logan metro, so we used the Utah statewide median: $29.06 an hour against $29.87 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.88 and $33.85 an hour.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $29.03 an hour, 5% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.30 and $35.92 an hour. About 170 work in the metro. That is 25.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $3,000 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $2,250. That is a swing of roughly 3.1% to 4.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Logan has 66,800 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 271st by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for inground pool in Logan
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Logan Radio Kvnu (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For pouring concrete, the comfortable months in Logan 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.
Logan gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 44 inches of snow. The wettest months are March, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 35 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.
