Anything he wants or you negotiate. But the real question is a discount from what? His 'official ' or 'list' price. For labor and constructions all prices are negotiations, so a discount is meaningless.... the only thing that matters is the agree upon price. Also keep in mind that contractor's prices vary wildly as the housing market and demand changes. If the market is depressed, contractors lower their quotes a lot, maybe even 50% from when their is a lot or work. So the only way to determine if you're getting a good deal is to get a number of independent bids for exactly the same job, with the same materials, from reputable contractors. Check them out with your local buildling department or BBB.

A contractor is allowed to give as much of a discount as he sees fit. Normally, anywhere between 10 to 25%, but I have heard of some going higher. Just depends on how much money he wants to make on the job.

it depends upon the sweetwill of the contractor that how much discount he want to give to the customer. generally the market trend is 10-40%. in some cases it is more. it also depends upon the bargaining power of the customer that how much he can avail.
