About this episode

Unlock the power of smart contracting with insights from a billion-dollar construction company! Tune in for the inside scoop and start applying these strategies to your business today.


Our “Quantum Contract Advantage System” is known industry-wide for taking construction contractors from being contractually vulnerable, losing money on project administration, and appearing amateur during bidding and negotiations to instead putting that process on auto-pilot so they can secure more contracts, with better terms, for more profit, all while reducing risk.


We have done over 6,000 contract reviews and helped over 300 Construction Contractors, Subcontractors, and Suppliers across the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK & Ireland manage over $20 billion worth of contracts.
