Every General Contractor operates differently. Our business charges an hourly rate of $35/hr. However, for a home build we let the home owner negotiate what is best for them. We may charge a percentage on top of materials for labour or we charge a rate per square foot, or keep the hourly rate...typically whatever works out to be cheaper for the customer

If you have a substantial project with several different independent contractors or subcontractors, it pays to hire a qualified general contractor to oversee your project. They are experienced at organizing and scheduling work, negotiating terms, and getting you the best value for your money.

How much do general contractors charge per hour to do work?

I don't think most general contractors work on hourly rates. A general contractor working on a cost-plus basis typically charges between 10% and 15% over the total project cost as her profit. A general contractor working on a fixed-bid will probably have a significantly higher margin to account for unexpected expenses. This year (2008), the general contractor building our home in Los Angeles, CA is on a fixed fee of 10% of the estimated project cost, plus $75 per hour for any additional work due to major change requests. That hourly rate is probably high for non-costal cities.


How much is the application fee for a general contractor license in Texas ?

Technically speaking, Texas does not have a general contractor license. If you are performing "specialty" work such as electrical or HVAC contracting (among others) you will need a license but otherwise, there no issue. Cities and counties, though, do have the right to require licenses. There are several types of contracting licenses, for a general contractor you will probably need all of them. For instance in Texas, the license fee for plumbers is $155, an electrician is $50, etc.
