It Contractor Rates
questions about contractor’s hour?
Hello, I have a question about contractors “quote”
We are remodeling our whole house; We are talking about 53.000 dollars on materials, and around 17.000 on labor
According to the contractor quote it is going to be 692 hours of labor; We don’t understand about construction, so don’t question it; What we question is that he charges different hourly rates for different parts and doesn’t seem correct.
For most of it he is charging $25 a hour, but for somethings he is charging more
example:
item 10: 3 water closets, foor-mounted, tank type, each $740 – hours of work needed 10, labor charge 300
or to install the bathroom sink faucet is going to take 4 hours at $30 each
I am not sure if it is correct to charge different labor prices for different parts of the project. the minimal he is charging is 25 an hour and the max is 30 (hourly rate).
Is it common? We are confused and want to make good use of our money
Negotiate his pay on the “draw” method. That’s where you only pay him for work done, either weekly or bi-monthly. By doing it this way, you get to make sure the work is done to spec.
ALWAYS make sure to get business cards from any and all sub-contractors he hires, so that you have record for any issues in the future.
In some areas, $45/hr is not uncommon.
