Overhead is applied at start of production to calculate the cost of goods manufactured and to determine the total cost and profit as well.
The average profit margin is 35%.
Total Cash Flow / 5years = Average Annual profit
False
If the insured elects to do the work themselves, profit is not usually included in the estimate. Insurance policies are not in place to profit the insured. They are to make the insured whole again. Overhead would be included.
Generally a contractor who builds a house for a customer can expect to receive 15% profit and 15% overhead. Generally that is on the high end though and can vary by region.

No, there are plenty of laws and regulations that address overhead and profit. Contractors charge it and insurance companies pay it. That's the nature of the beast. The insurance company that doesn't pay it is not only an exception to the rule but runs the risk of breach of contract and bad faith lawsuits as well as sanctions by insurance departments. There has been much litigation against insurance companies that mess around with overhead and profit, including several class action lawsuits against major insurance companies.
The terms overhead and profit are used together by a business in reference to their profit and expenses. Insurance companies pay overhead and profit on property insurance claims.

Construction cost is expense incurred by a contractor for labor, material, equipment, financing, services, utilities, etc., plus overhead and contractor's profit. Costs such as that of land, architectural design, consultant and engineer's fee are not construction costs.
10%-30% depending on the client and project.

No such animal. The number of trades rule is bogus. It's part of a directive from the "Claims Bully" corner that's been used to short homeowners. Each state has a department of insurance that determines what policies may be sold with what language and at what premium. That premium was calculated by someone at the insurer's corner who factored in a general contractor when arriving at a replacement cost value (RCV)which is in turn used to calculate an actual cash value (ACV). You cannot eliminate general contractor overhead & profit in this equation without being guilty of ignorance or bad faith. Insurance adjusters are told to do this or do that depending on the company they are adjusting for at the time of your claim. The true value of your claim must include a general contractor and you should have a general contractor prepare a realistic restoration estimate... not a new construction or remodel estimate. No norms or standards apply... only what the market will bear. Get some local general contractors to write up a realistic estimate with plenty of overhead and profit because you're going to need it to put yourself back where you were before the loss and stand accountable long after the job is finished. This is why you have paid premiums. Your insurer can elect to not pay your claim in which case you need to demand, via certified mail, an explanation in writing. Don't get sucked in by slick adjusters. They are just doing a job according to directive. Get smart. Find a good lawyer if you can't adjust your own claim. Before you do make sure you have the right attitude about how this adjusting game is played.

Profit
Variations in construction contracts are typically priced based on the actual costs incurred, plus an agreed-upon profit margin for the contractor. This can include additional materials, labor, and overhead costs. The pricing of variations may also be subject to negotiation between the contractor and the client, especially if the variation significantly impacts the project scope or timeline.
