Own The Build
Own the Build is the podcast for Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Directors who want to sharpen their commercial edge and lead with confidence.
Hosted by Paul Heming, former Commercial leader and now co-founder of C-Link, each week’s conversation dives into the realities of modern commercial management — from procurement and contracts to digital transformation and leadership in construction.
Through honest discussions with industry leaders, forensic planners, and forward-thinking QSs, Paul explores how the best commercial teams deliver profit, performance, and project certainty in a changing industry.
If you’re serious about mastering the commercial side of construction — this is where you build your advantage.

Why subcontractors should never walk off site when they are not getting paid. (EP 125)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the studio today, Paul is joined by Guy Jackson, who is the Founding Partner at Overford, a chartered quantity surveying practice that specialises in problem-solving complex construction and engineering matters.
Guy is a Fellow of the RICS and the CIArb and holds a BSc in Construction Commercial Management, an MSc in Construction Law and Dispute Resolution, and a Graduate Diploma in Law.
In today’s conversation, Guy and I debate the best strategies for both Main and Subcontractors when the subcontractor threatens to walk off-site due to payment. We discuss why subcontractors should never walk off-site and, instead, what they should do while at the same time looking at things from a main contractor’s perspective too.
This happened to me a lot, so it was a great debate, and I think you will enjoy it too.
