Notes
- Where the number comes from. The national price for foundation pier installation is $1,800 per pier — foundation pier pricing published for 2026, $1,000–$3,000 per pier installed. Labor is about 55% of that. Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers near Broken Arrow, OK average $46,260 a year against a U.S. mean of $60,050 — a factor of 0.77 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not. Source: BLS OEWS May 2025 for the Tulsa, OK metro area, SOC 47-2051.
- Why the city matters, not just the state. Trade pay moves inside a state as much as it does between states. Crews do not commute across a state to bid a job, and materials ship at national prices either way — so a metro wage is the honest input here and a state average quietly rounds four different cities into one number.
- Short pour season. 66 freezing days a year in Broken Arrow. ACI 306 cold-weather protection — blankets, heated water, or waiting — is a real line item here, not boilerplate.
- What is in the price: excavation at each location, the pier and bracket, driving or screwing to load-bearing strata, lifting or stabilising, backfill and cleanup.
- What is not: drainage correction, interior crack and drywall repair after the lift, engineering reports, and any landscaping put back. These are the lines that turn a $18,872 quote into a $23,590 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
- Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.

Why the city changes the number
About 55% of this job is labor — $10,380 of the $18,872 above. Labor is the only part that moves locally; a bundle of material costs what it costs wherever it is nailed down.
Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers near Broken Arrow average $46,260 a year, against a U.S. mean of $60,050. That is a factor of 0.77, so the labor half is scaled by it and the material half is not.

The lines that turn a quote into an invoice
Ask about each of them before you sign. On a job this size they are the difference between $18,872 and something a quarter higher.
Use it as a bid check, not a quote
This prices an average job in average condition. Access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a national average.
If a bid lands outside $10,484 – $31,453, that is not automatically wrong — but it is the question worth asking out loud.
