Why Port St. Lucie prices look the way they do
Labor is 24% of the midpoint bill here, against 27% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is glaziers (50%), carpenters (40%), general maintenance and repair workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Port St. Lucie the blended ratio comes out at 0.83. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Florida statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Port St. Lucie is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $6,800 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.2: $0 to $0.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Port St. Lucie. The wage table below marks each row.
Who does the work: Port St. Lucie 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 Port St. Lucie the blend is 0.83.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Port St. Lucie metro, so we used the Florida statewide median: $22.61 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.11 and $28.54 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.38 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.65 and $28.14 an hour. About 1,060 work in the metro. That is 62.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $21.93 an hour, which is 8% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.81 and $24.95 an hour. BLS counts 1,890 of them working in the area, 110.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (glaziers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $290 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $220. That is a swing of roughly 2.4% to 3.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Port St. Lucie has 170,820 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 137th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
