What is behind the Beaumont number
Labor is 56% 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 Beaumont the blended ratio comes out at 0.91.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Beaumont is at 93.8 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 90.0: $25 to $450.
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 Beaumont. The wage table below marks each row.
