You'll learn how to: - Get paid on time by mastering Clauses 4.8 and 4.9. - Protect your scope when instructions change (Clause 3.14). - Claim what you're owed for delays and disruption (Clauses 2.29 and 4.20). - Handle payment games and unfair tactics with quiet confidence. - Stay sane and organised, even when your head's spinning.

Whether you're a subcontractor, commercial manager, or site-based QS, this isn't just a guide to the contract; it's a toolkit for survival. Learn how to read every clause before it costs you, how to push back without conflict, and how to finish every job with your integrity (and your balance) intact. Because in construction, fairness doesn't happen by accident; it's built clause by clause, person by person, project by project.
