Most contractors don’t go broke from bad work, they go broke from the downside risk they never saw coming.

In this episode, Cian sits down with Kieran Moran who breaks down how he started as a teenage laborer, learned the “33/33/33” rule, and watched good operators get wiped out by one nasty contract hit.

He explains what actually happens on the client side: your claim has to survive internal approvals, and messy paperwork gets rejected fast because nobody wants to front a contracts committee looking unprepared.

If you can read drawings, you can read contracts, and that skill alone can save your margin and your sanity.

Listen up.
