About this episode

This episode is a re-run. It was originally published in January 2023.


Dreaming of that promotion? Discover a game-changing tip you can start using right now to fast-track your construction career. Tune in!


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.
