The Daily Dose #273 | What Your Building Contract Is Costing You (And You Don't Even Know It)

Your contract could be killing deals before they even start.This week on the Monday episode, Az is joined again by Emily Pollard from Nesta Builder Brokers — and she brings the heat. Emily has read hundreds of building contracts. What she finds inside them would surprise most builders. And what clients think when they read them? That might surprise you even more.They cover the contract clauses that are quietly blowing up sales, how provisional sums are being used in ways that cost clients tens of thousands they never saw coming, why some special conditions may not even hold up in court, and how simply showing clients your contract early could save months of wasted time for everyone.This is not about attacking builders. It's about understanding what's happening right now — with banks, with clients, with trust — and what a smarter approach to contracts actually looks like.If you're signing jobs, chasing finance approvals, or wondering why clients are pulling out late in the process, this episode is for you.Episode Co-Host Emily Pollard | Nesta Builder Brokers nesta.com.auThis episode is brought to you by MyConstruct.
