What is behind the Oklahoma City number
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 50% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $23.53 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Oklahoma City is 0.82 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 20% of the total.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Oklahoma City metro is 93.8 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 150 linear ft comes to $4,900, compared with $5,250 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (90.4) and land at $35 to $140.
Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 2 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Oklahoma City is 0.82 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 50%) the local median is $23.53 an hour, which is 19% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.13 and $27.60 an hour. BLS counts 1,420 of them working in the area, 21.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 50% of the weighting: a median of $18.96 an hour, 16% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.79 and $22.89 an hour. About 5,570 work in the metro. That is 82.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($27.60 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $100. At the 25th percentile ($21.13) it shrinks by about $60. The total moves by 1.7% or 1.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 677,680 jobs in the Oklahoma City area. That makes it the 44th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.44% of US employment.
