This episode is a re-run. It was originally published in August 2024.


This one clause can bankrupt a profitable project overnight.


Consequential damages can make you liable for your client’s loss of profit, even when your own margin is razor thin.


With 65% of construction companies facing unexpected claims averaging over $500,000, this risk is far from theoretical.


In this episode, we break down why this clause is a silent company ender and how it shifts massive, unpredictable liability onto subcontractors.


Listen in.
