What moves the number here
Moderate cost of living. Columbus sits below the national baseline on both labor and materials, which makes it one of the more affordable metros in this set for a like-for-like project.
Freeze-thaw winters. Real winters mean freeze-thaw cycles that work at any weak point in the building envelope. Energy-efficient glass and a tight install pay for themselves faster here than in a mild climate.
Older neighborhoods. German Village, the Short North and other pre-war areas carry original openings and framing that can add scope once the work starts. Ask for a written allowance for what the walls reveal.

How these Columbus figures are set
Each figure starts as a national typical range for the project type, published from industry cost guides, and is multiplied by this metro's regional multiplier: one number read from a published price-level index (BEA Regional Price Parities), on a scale where the national level is exactly 1.000. The same multiplier drives the ranges the calculator shows for Columbus ZIP codes, so a figure here and a figure there cannot disagree.
Regional multiplier: Derived: BEA Regional Price Parities, all items, Columbus, OH (MSA) = 95.469 (2024) ÷ 100. Published metro price-level index (FRED series RPPALL18140) on the same national-is-1.000 scale the state tier uses; a consumer price-level proxy, not a construction cost index.
