Local factors in Orlando, FL
Sandy soil over limestone karst means fast drainage but occasional subsidence and well-system considerations. Orlando's inland-Florida heat and humidity keep cooling loads high without the coastal salt-air factor. Concrete-block construction dominates, much of it from the growth decades since the 1970s, over karst terrain where sinkhole questions occasionally surface. Florida wind-code documentation applies as everywhere in the state, with sinkhole-zone disclosure a localized factor.
Orlando, FL's mid-tier market tracks close to the national midpoint, which means the spread inside the range above comes more from the local conditions described here than from baseline labor rates.
