GCs—before you sign your next contract, slow down and read the fine print.
Some “standard” contract clauses quietly push major risk onto you, including:
• No‑damages‑for‑delay language
• Broad “hold harmless” provisions
• High liquidated damages
• Site condition disclaimers
These clauses can wipe out profit fast—even when problems aren’t your fault. Catching them before signing can save serious time, money, and headaches down the road.
A profitable job often starts with a smart contract review.
