(2:58) - If you get a contract, now what they've done is they've given the standard contract to a lawyer and they say change that contract so it looks the same
(4:06) - Standard contracts don't really exist anymore. If you get it, it's just a template that they've amended
(5:01) - If your risk is lower, then you're better, you're better off ultimately
(6:14) - If they haven't amended it, if they've amended it, it's pretty hostile and you need to be fully aware that it needs to be reviewed
(7:38) - If you can stay in construction over a longer period of time, you're pretty, you're going to do well, you're going to get a better reputation
