Who does the work: Spokane 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 Spokane the blend is 1.20.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $35.00 an hour, 14% above the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $27.12 and $46.27 an hour. About 810 work in the metro. That is 31.7 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 $33.65 an hour, 26% above the US median of $26.77. The middle half of them earn between $27.70 and $34.09 an hour. About 30 work in the metro. That is 1.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 2.3 nationally, so expect fewer 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 $190 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $130. That is a swing of roughly 6.4% to 9.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Spokane-Spokane Valley has 255,820 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 101st by size among the 300 metros on this site.
