Who does the work: Hagerstown 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 Hagerstown the blend is 0.93.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $27.21 an hour, 7% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.25 and $29.80 an hour. About 350 work in the metro. That is 32.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $29.96 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.99 and $37.57 an hour. BLS counts 430 of them working in the area, 40.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $26.50 an hour, 14% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.06 and $32.67 an hour. About 250 work in the metro. That is 23.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $310 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $720. That is a swing of roughly 8.3% to 3.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
