Methodology: Board material + fasteners + 8% waste, all scaled by sqft. $10.50/sqft framing baseline × mid-height × frost multiplier. Footings (~1 per 60 sqft, min 4) × $180 ($260 frost). 20 ft ledger × $26. Composite stair run scaled by material. Composite railing at $65/lf. State labor multiplier applied at 42% + 40% × (multiplier − 1) of subtotal. Base permit + $0.50/sqft. 8% contingency. Labor column = state wage index relative to US average (100%).
