In this episode, Paul is joined by Sarah Fox, a construction contract expert and Director at 500 Words, who delivers simple digital trust-enhancing contracts to put construction companies in control.

In today’s conversation, we discussed Sarah’s book - “How to Write Simple and Effective Subcontract Agreements in Just 500 Words”. Sarah was inspired to write this book for “all the talented construction companies frustrated with horrific one-sided contracts”.

We discuss in today’s show how Main and Subcontractors should manage and negotiate Back-to-Back Main Contracts reasonably and fairly to benefit all parties involved.
