Why Redding prices look the way they do
Labor is 53% of the midpoint bill here, against 56% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (50%), tile and stone setters (50%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Redding the blended ratio comes out at 0.92.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Redding is at 105.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $550 nationally becomes $580 here (midpoint, 1 pan). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.7: $30 to $500.
What local crews earn in Redding
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 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 Redding the blend is 0.92.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $29.47 an hour, 4% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $24.57 and $35.96 an hour. About 200 work in the metro. That is 28.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044), 50% of the weighting: a median of $23.72 an hour, 11% below the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $23.13 and $29.77 an hour. About 40 work in the metro. That is 5.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 2.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $110 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $85. That is a swing of roughly 4.6% to 6.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
