Why voice quoting works for general contractors

General contractors juggle multiple trades, materials, and timelines on every project — the quote has more moving parts than any other trade. Speaking the scope naturally captures everything without missing a line item.

Quoting tips for general contractors

💡

Break the project into phases — demo, rough-in, finish — so the customer understands the workflow and payment schedule.

💡

Always include permit and inspection costs as line items rather than absorbing them into labor.

💡

List subcontractor work separately so the customer sees what your crew handles versus specialists.

Common general contractor pricing questions

How much should I charge as a general contractor?

Most GCs charge 10–20% over sub and material costs as their management fee, or $50–$150 per hour for smaller jobs. Break the project into phases and show each trade and material cost separately so the client trusts the markup.

How to write a contractor bid

List every subcontractor trade, material category, permit, and inspection as its own line item with a cost. Group by project phase so the client understands the workflow. WrenchBid lets you speak the full scope and sends a professional bid from the job site.

What should a contractor estimate include?

A winning bid breaks out demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, materials, permits, inspections, and a timeline with payment milestones. Detailed estimates win over lump-sum bids because clients can see exactly where their money goes.
