What is behind the Greeley number
The wage side of the estimate leans on plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters, who do 50% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $28.53 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Greeley is 0.98 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 57% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Greeley is at 96.1 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $550 nationally becomes $530 here (midpoint, 1 pan). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.2: $30 to $500.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Greeley. The wage table below marks each row.
Who does the work: Greeley trade wages
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 Greeley the blend is 0.98.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $28.53 an hour, 7% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.72 and $34.81 an hour. About 520 work in the metro. That is 43.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Greeley metro, so we used the Colorado statewide median: $27.74 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $17.40 and $34.59 an hour.
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 $80. That is a swing of roughly 4.5% to 5.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Greeley has 119,540 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 184th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
