Episode 8 - Your EOFY Contract Review Runway
As we roll toward the end of financial year, builders across Australia are pushing hard to lock subcontractors into contracts before June 30.
And if you’re an Aussie subbie in Commercial Construction, this is the exact window where things can go pear shaped if you’re not careful.
This week on The Subbies Toolbox Podcast, Michelle Cirson breaks down the EOFY Contract Review Runway and explains why builders suddenly become more urgent, more negotiable, and sometimes more dangerous during May and June.
Michelle shares what’s really happening behind the scenes inside builder businesses at EOFY, why contract reviews spike every year during this period, and how subcontractors can use this pressure point to negotiate better terms instead of blindly signing fixed price contracts that could sink margins later.
If you’re feeling pressure to lock work in before EOFY, this episode will help you slow down, think commercially, and protect your business properly before signing anything.
