About this episode
Tyler and Nick talk about the importance of formal subcontractor agreements—why you need them, how they protect all parties, and the hard lessons that led them to overhaul their systems. From handshake deals gone wrong to building trust through transparent work orders, this episode gives you the tools to avoid costly mistakes and elevate your professionalism.
Whether you're a GC, a sub, or somewhere in between, if you're managing teams and trades, this one's for you.
