10-25% depending on who is carrying the interest and land.

depends, mine charged less than 5% as he charges a flat fee. talk to different contractors and ask what you are getting for that price. my contractor sucked but it was fine as I did quite a bit of the work and it was worth it for the price i paid, you will have to make the decision on what you are expecting in return for the money. choose wisely.

Get your GC license and DIY..

A friend did this and saved a shitload.

The hard part is making sure everyone shows up on schedule or it fricks up everything..

8-12% is normal in my experience.

Don't listen to anyone telling you 25%. They are clearly ignorant
