Average Home Builder Commission?

[Account Closed]

Hello,

My partner and I are building our first ground up single family home in Horseshoe Bay. We have purchased the land and have signed a contract with a builder. The house is a two bed, two bath, and is 1,490 sqft. My question is this: What is the average commission that a builder charges on a new build (their profit)? Is there a rule of thumb? Is there a certain percentage? I’d like to know so that moving forward we can negotiate better and ensure that we are getting a fair deal. Thanks, Nick

Quote from @Sebastian Marroquin:

The other way would be for you to get your own subs and do a an owner build. (much riskier but you could do it for 75% the price above). 

 At least in the 2 states ive built homes in an owner builder could only build his personal residence.  Not investment property or second home
