In the Season 2 opening episode of Taking the Con Out of Construction, we get straight to the heart of one of the industry’s biggest make-or-break factors: cash flow. Michelle unpacks the real reasons contractors run into financial trouble, from mixing up profit and overheads to taking on projects with stretched payment terms that quietly drain the business.

She breaks down the practical steps every contractor should be taking: pricing tenders properly, capturing overheads with accuracy, staying on top of CVRs, and strengthening the communication loop between estimating and delivery teams.

Packed with real-world insights and straightforward strategies, this episode is your guide to building financial resilience, protecting your margins, and steering clear of the liquidation trap.
