## Reading these numbers

All ranges below assume typical complexity and the reference job size shown for
each project. Complexity moves the total by roughly 0.92x for straightforward
work up to 1.32x for structural or custom work. State figures use one
representative ZIP per state (TX 78701, FL 33101) to resolve the statewide labor factor. They are statewide
figures, not city level pricing.

Planning ranges from a published, deterministic model. They are not contractor quotes, not bids, and not a guarantee of price.
