Why does the page use a state adjustment instead of a city price claim?

The page uses a published state Regional Price Parities input because it is available for a transparent, consistent calculation. A local estimate should reflect the actual home, scope, access, materials, and current contractor conditions.

Ask for fixtures, materials, preparation, plumbing or electrical assumptions, waterproofing, removal handling, timing, exclusions, and the treatment of unexpected conditions.
