General contractors typically charge 10–25% of total project cost as their fee (markup on subs + overhead + profit). On a $100,000 remodel, expect $15,000–$25,000 as the GC's margin. Some charge a fixed fee; others use a cost-plus model. Always get this in writing.
A GC manages subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, tile setters, framers), coordinates inspections, pulls permits, handles material procurement, and manages the schedule. You interact with one point of contact rather than 10+ trades — and the GC is responsible for coordinating all of their work.
A change order is a written amendment to the original contract when scope changes. Good GCs present change orders before doing additional work, with a price and timeline impact. Avoid any contractor who does extra work without written change orders — this is a leading cause of cost disputes.
