Im a small general contractor. Just trying to get an idea of what others get
paid.
Rico makes a good point, for example, he gets "7 per unit" that's not bad!
haha, a unit is probably a home, and 7 is 700 thousand.
but he knows what he charges. I don't know what I charge.
Somebody asks me I always tell them, Ill call them, or get them an estimate.
around here, a home builder gets about $125 per sf for a house up to $300
per sf for a log home
a drywall contractor gets about $25.00 per sheet
electricians get $75.00 for first outlet, then $25.00 for ea outlet
afterwards, overhead light box $75.00
oh sure, demographics would have a direct impact on these numbers.
*I always use a contract, I always get money down - usually 50%, I get as
much as I can.
"get your money man"
I had a customer write me a bad check! (this just happened).
At this point I'm calling them on the balance, or I am done.
