What is behind the Cheyenne number
Labor is 57% 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 Cheyenne the blended ratio comes out at 0.98.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Cheyenne is at 95.4 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 96.5: $30 to $480.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a national median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Cheyenne. The wage table below marks each row.

What local crews earn in Cheyenne
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 Cheyenne the blend is 0.98.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $29.55 an hour, 4% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.55 and $36.76 an hour. About 190 work in the metro. That is 39.2 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 Cheyenne metro, so we used the national median: $26.77 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.73 and $33.76 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $120 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $120. That is a swing of roughly 6.6% to 6.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
