This week, Paul is joined by his close friend and QS, Chris Barber. Chris is the Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) at C-Link and Prosper and a passionate advocate for subcontractors on his YouTube channel, School of Sub.

This week's conversation centres on an article about construction procurement routes. Main Contracting, as we know it, had its origins in the 19th century, and aside from the introduction of D & B Contracts in the 1980s, not much has changed.

In this episode, Paul and Chris explore why that is, what could change and how clients can create a better project environment for all involved.
