By imparting wisdom and knowledge, we aim to inspire change and transform the industry, leading to improved cash flow and greater wealth creation and well-being for all. Our ultimate goal is to foster regenerative and sustainable communities that benefit both people and the planet.
Construction cash flow has been a major problem for 400 years and it hasn't changed much since the times when St. Paul's Cathedral borrowed funds from St Peter's Cathedral to pay for its building works; it's where the saying "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul" comes from.
There are many factors that affect cash flow in construction from unfair contract terms, cash farming, poor record keeping, poor quality, delays, missed application dates, slow payment culture, low working capital, contractors handling other people's money, the list goes on. However, one thing is for sure, whatever the reason, the consequences can be serious for the myriad of small business owners that make up the construction supply chain. Tragically, insolvency, mental health, suicide, and family breakdown are some of the knock-on effects of the slow payment culture tradition in construction.
In this episode, Rob will share his story of how he got to where he is now and what inspires and motivates him.
We'll discuss why you should keep a copy of the contract on your desk and flick through it daily. And on a deeper level, understanding the difference between defined costs and cost plus under the NEC contract is critical.
