Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
As of the U.S. market in 2025, the average cost of labor for skilled construction trades typically ranges from $20 to $50 per hour or $200 to $400 per day, depending on location, project complexity, contractor expertise, and demand.
Most general contractors don't charge hourly rates for their overall fee. Instead, their overall fee, which is 10% to 20% of the project's cost, is distributed across labor hours.
Contractors typically charge a markup above their direct cost. For example, if a contractor has a 1.50 markup, and the estimated cost for a job is $10,000, they would multiply $10,000 by 1.50 to arrive at a $15,000 sales price.
In Atlanta, GA, the typical cost for new construction is about $150 to $200 per square foot, though the full envelope can range from $3.5 to $200 per sq ft depending on the project's complexity and specifications.
