General Contractors take

[Joseph Pichardo]

So I received a quote on a property that I was considering purchasing. (I’m no longer interested in it since the numbers don’t add up). I had the GC look at it and said it was a project that can cost me around 150k. I was just wondering how much of that is the GC’s take. Meaning, how much would I save if I subcontract everyone myself.

I would think 10-25% is typical.  Remember, GCs get better pricing from the subcontractors b/c of all the business they are giving them.  They are also making about 5-15% on the materials.
