Why Greenville prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: carpenters at 60%, construction laborers at 30%, sheet metal workers at 10%. Weighted together, Greenville wages are 0.82 times the national level. Labor makes up about 46% of the midpoint estimate (50% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Greenville is at 96.6 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $8,400 nationally becomes $8,100 here (midpoint, 2,100 sq ft of wall). Permits follow the all-items index of 88.4: $0 to $0.
Data note: 10% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Greenville. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: Greenville 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 Greenville the blend is 0.82.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $22.47 an hour, 23% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.46 and $27.01 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 22.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $20.40 an hour, which is 10% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.36 and $23.08 an hour. BLS counts 450 of them working in the area, 55.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Greenville metro, so we used the North Carolina statewide median: $24.39 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.87 and $29.56 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $790 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $690. That is a swing of roughly 4.6% to 5.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Greenville has 80,770 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 236th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
