The Construction MF'ers

Leading a successful construction or manufacturing business can be tough. To survive, sometimes you have to be a real MF'er. We get it -- we're real MF'ers, too. MF'ers do what's right, pay it forward, lead through action, and get the job done. What did YOU think we meant by MF'ers? In THE Construction MF'ers, Mobilization Funding CEO and Co-Founder, Scott Peper, sits down with construction and manufacturing leaders to learn what they are doing differently and why it works. With a focus on communication, culture, and collaboration, The CONSTRUCTION MF'ERS tackles issues like labor, mental health, diversity, and growth with purpose.

Don’t Sign That Construction Contract Until You Hear THIS! | The Construction MF'ers EP96

March 13, 2025 • Mobilization Funding • Episode 96

A bad construction contract isn’t just a headache—it can wreck your cash flow, lock you into risky commitments, and leave you exposed when things go wrong.

In this solo episode of Construction MF’ers, Scott Peper breaks down the three critical contract elements every subcontractor needs to review before signing. These simple steps can be the difference between a profitable job and a financial disaster.

🔹𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 – Learn why standard contracts aren’t always contractor-friendly, and how payment terms, change orders, and owner disputes can create major risks.

🔹𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 & 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – Your schedule of values dictates when you get paid. Structure it to match your real project timeline and avoid funding gaps.

🔹𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – If your contract doesn’t clearly define who covers change orders, delays, or scope issues, you could end up paying for work you never agreed to.

We’ve seen too many contractors sign first, regret later—don’t let that be you.

Before you put pen to paper, listen to this episode. It’s a short investment that can save you thousands.
