Today’s show discusses the current economic climate and how it impacts construction’s Supply Chain.
As a Subcontractor, what is your process when a tender lands? Do you say, “Wahey, we have a job to price! Let’s get on and do it?” Or do you hesitate and think, “This is a potential new client, which is great, but it’s a tier one; why are they suddenly coming to us out of the blue?”
Mike shares his advice on operating in today’s market as a subcontractor, considering all the risks.
