As a subcontractor, you’re constantly financing your clients’ projects. You’re funding the job and doing the work before you’re paid. And getting paid isn’t easy. Only 5% of subcontractors report always being paid on time, and the average time to get paid in construction is 90 days. It’s time to buck the status quo! In this session, Claire Wilson will share best practices and strategies for getting paid faster and better managing cash flow on projects.
Date: Thursday, June 27, 2024
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm PST
