Ranges are from public job ads posted around October 2026. When an ad's header and body disagreed, the header range is listed and the other is noted. Ads show what employers offer new hires, which can differ from what people already in the job earn.

What moves the number

Union vs. non-union: union GCs and public work often pay toward the top, and big union jobs usually have set pay bands.
GC size: large GCs tend to have fixed bands and better benefits. Small firms vary a lot, and some pay above the big names to compete while others pay well below.
Years and project type: experience counts, and so does what you've built. Ground-up high-rise, healthcare and mission-critical work often pay more than small interiors.
Bonus: many NYC offers include a year-end bonus on top of base. Job ads rarely list it, so the only way to see it is from real entries.
