Where the North Port price comes from
Labor is 59% of the midpoint bill here, against 60% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is construction laborers (50%), brickmasons and blockmasons (30%), landscaping and groundskeeping workers (20%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In North Port the blended ratio comes out at 0.93.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. North Port is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,500 nationally becomes $1,450 here (midpoint, 300 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 102.4: $0 to $360.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in North Port. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: North Port 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 North Port the blend is 0.93.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $21.82 an hour, which is 4% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.18 and $23.55 an hour. BLS counts 4,260 of them working in the area, 125.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the North Port metro, so we used the Florida statewide median: $25.37 an hour against $29.87 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.33 and $30.00 an hour.
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers (37-3011), 20% of the weighting: a median of $17.89 an hour, 5% below the US median of $18.82. The middle half of them earn between $17.42 and $21.56 an hour. About 4,740 work in the metro. That is 139.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 61.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $95 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $200. That is a swing of roughly 5.1% to 2.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota has 339,940 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 75th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Paver material
Pavers alone average $2-$4 per sq ft but the full range is $1-$15 depending on concrete, brick, or natural stone (HomeGuide).
