Why Shreveport prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 2 trades: plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters at 50%, tile and stone setters at 50%. Weighted together, Shreveport wages are 0.87 times the national level. Labor makes up about 55% of the midpoint estimate (56% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Shreveport is at 93.7 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $550 nationally becomes $520 here (midpoint, 1 pan). Permits follow the all-items index of 84.8: $25 to $420.
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 Shreveport. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: Shreveport 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 Shreveport the blend is 0.87.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $28.71 an hour, 6% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $21.85 and $31.99 an hour. About 680 work in the metro. That is 41.8 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 Shreveport metro, so we used the Louisiana statewide median: $21.52 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.96 and $22.99 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $55 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $120. That is a swing of roughly 7.1% to 3.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
