Where the Phoenix price comes from
Labor is 51% of the midpoint bill here, against 50% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is carpenters (60%), construction laborers (30%), sheet metal workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Phoenix the blended ratio comes out at 0.98.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Phoenix is at 95.0 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $8,400 nationally becomes $8,000 here (midpoint, 2,100 sq ft of wall). Permits follow the all-items index of 103.3: $0 to $0.
Who does the work: Phoenix trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 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 Phoenix the blend is 0.98.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $29.00 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.36 and $35.30 an hour. About 12,710 work in the metro. That is 53.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $22.56 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $19.79 and $24.90 an hour. BLS counts 29,230 of them working in the area, 123.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $24.63 an hour, 17% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $18.25 and $33.14 an hour. About 2,550 work in the metro. That is 10.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $1,100 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $980. That is a swing of roughly 6.0% to 6.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler has 2,375,760 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 11th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
