On a typical project, here are the contractors I'll probably use:- Demo- Roofer- Painter- Carpenter- Plumber- Electrician- HVAC- Window Company- Tile Guy- Carpet Guy- Hardwood Guy- Cabinets/Countertops Company- Termite Inspection- Landscaping- Garage Door Company- House CleanerIn addition, on many projects I'll also use:- Drywall Guys- Insulation- Surveyor- Structural Engineer- Inspectors- Concrete Company- Driveway/Paving Company- Grading- Tree Trimming- Shower Glass CompanyFor big projects, new construction:- Architect- Civil Engineer- Foundation- Asbestos Removal- Sediment Control- Excavation, Dirt Hauling- Interior Sprinklers- Stone WorkEach of those contractors will typically get between 1-4 draws, depending on the scope of the work they have for the project.Then there are materials and other non-labor costs:- Permits (0-3 transactions per project)- Porta Pottys (0-3 transactions per project)- Home Depot Materials (3-5 transactions per project)- Dumpsters (1-3 transactions per project)- Paint Purchase- Cabinets/Countertops Purchase (2-4 transactions per project)- Flooring Material Purchase (1-2 transactions per project)- Specialty Material Suppliers (0-10 transactions per project)- Utility/Service Installation (0-5 transactions per project)- Private Inspections (0-5 transactions per project)- Insulation/Airtightness Tests- AppliancesOn top of that, I will potentially write several checks to:- Title Company- Property Inspector- Appraiser- General Contractor or Project Manager- Interest Payments- Utility Payments- Tax PaymentsOn top of that, I have my general business expenses:- Accounting- Legal- Interest Payments- Tax Payments- Brokerage Fees- E&O Fees- MLS Fees- Overhead/Office (Supplies, Equipment, Subscriptions, Software, etc)- Telephone/Fax/Internet- Income from Property SalesAll of these easily add up to a couple hundred transactions on a large project or new build, meaning many dozen per month. 

some ideas: New counter-tops, paint or replace cabinets, new flooring, etc.  

75 - 300 / sq' , i couldn't tell you, are you building a storage shed or a house with quartz or granite counter tops, marble floors in foyer / baths and decorative tiles in the baths, stained hardwood trim, custom kitchen and decorative trim throughout the house ?

I also did the kitchen - cabinets, floors, paint, fan, countertops, appliances, backsplash.  

The kitchen has medium colored wood cabinets with brass hardware and green laminate counter tops.

Looking for advice on granite countertops that will look good with White cabinets, Agreeable Gray walls, and a beige-ish floor tile.

Hi @Chris Duvall, to add a little more to what @Eddie Salisbury and @Christopher Phillips said, note that in the world of new construction appraisals, and ONLY in that world, do we make believe that a $10k counter-top upgrade adds $10k in value to the home. 

@JR Nieman I'm looking at basic homes with laminate wood floors, granite countertops, standard fixtures, nothing luxury.

For example, we could buy an original 1970s condo, repaint it, replace counter tops, and put in new flooring, and probably make a few thousand dollars in profit.

They have vents that will mount flush with the countertops.
