general contractor charges
What is a "reasonable" profit and overhead surcharge when my general
contractor has a sub-contractor do work for him? We're doing a large residential house by "time and materials". |

We're doing a large residential house by "time and materials". 10% is standard... in some areas with some generals 40% is common. T and M is a contractors favorite way to get a job... if he is good and honest its fair all around... if not you will be screwed to the wall. if you suspect the latter, be real nice to the guy then seek the best attorney you can find for advice on how to get rid of him cost effectively...that can be done but it can be tricky.

What did you agree on in the beginning? |

Reasonable? that depends on a plethora of issues. Roofers workman's compensation is higher than a plumber for example. If it's time and materials, then the subcontractor counts as "materials". Why should there be a surcharge? |

"Reasonable? that depends on a plethora of issues. Roofers workman's
compensation is higher than a plumber for example. " And what does that have to do with what a typical margin is for the general contractor? |
