Who does the work: Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville the blend is 0.87.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $28.33 an hour, 8% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.89 and $30.74 an hour. About 2,380 work in the metro. That is 31.1 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 $21.84 an hour, 18% below the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $17.49 and $27.41 an hour.

That is a swing of roughly 5.5% to 2.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
