What happens when a contractor undermines your pricing, disrespects your process, and goes straight to the client?
In this episode, I’m sharing a frustrating (but all-too-common) story that played out on one of our member jobs—and how we handled it with professionalism, power, and boundaries. If you’ve ever had a GC overstep or a sub challenge your role, you need to hear this.
You’ll walk away with the exact strategies to hold your shape, set clear boundaries, and protect your revenue—even in the messiest contractor situations.
Topics I Cover in This Episode:
- Why one designer lost thousands when a GC went behind her back
- The “contractor expectations” statement that protects your role
- What to do during a job if a contractor starts taking over
- The importance of presenting contracts through you, not the GC
- How to build strategic depth and vet subs before trouble starts
This episode will give you the language and tools to stay in control, protect your profit, and finish strong—even when someone else tries to hijack your project.
