If your thinking of hiring a General Contractor, you must have a large project in mind.Percentage is based on the job.Since you gave no details, it is hard to say.General Contractors make sure:a. The permits are in placeb. The work that is performed meets city requirements and is inspected and is passed by the city.c. They handle the day to day problems that arise.The building plans always have flaws and need to be field adjusted.Etc.Etc.I do know that you should plan to spend an extra 20% above what the contracts come in at just for Extra s on the job.20% Total. Not for each contractor.Sounds like a lot, it is. But it will be a given.
By law only if you own the property your working on you can be the unlicensed contractor and hire subcontractors
