Q: What is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</p></div>

Q: What home projects do construction managers do?

• <div><p>In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">large renovations and major remodels</a>. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a detached garage?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/detached-garage-cost.htm">cost to build a detached garage</a> for two cars costs about <b>$26,400</b> on average. Prices range from <b>$19,200 to $33,600</b>, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay <b>$1,000 to $8,600 </b>for this essential addition.</p></div>

Q: Do home builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor&rsquo;s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm that the builder you&rsquo;re considering holds all the proper licenses.</p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
