In this episode of Taking the Con Out of Construction, Michelle Carr shares practical construction business advice for contractors, developers, and project leaders on managing finance, cash flow, and funding risks in construction projects.
She lifts the lid on one of the biggest pressure points in construction: financing. From mortgages and bridging loans to development funding and invoice factoring, Michelle breaks down the options contractors rely on — and the serious traps that often come with them.
Drawing on real-world industry experience, she explains how unexpected costs, overlooked finance charges, and poor planning can derail even the most promising projects. Michelle shows why understanding funding terms, anticipating contingencies, and managing cash responsibly makes the difference between profit and panic.
Whether you’re running a small job or a multi-million-pound build, this episode provides guidance to take control of the money side of your projects with confidence.
Essential listening for anyone wanting stress-free, profitable construction project management through clear financial control.
