When GCs Rely on Subs to Cover Their Cash Flow ⚠️ In construction projects, GCs take big risks. But things get messy when they don’t have the cash to handle their part of the work and start using subs to cover their costs. 💸 One major red flag? Self-performing GCs who do some of the work themselves. If they can’t finance their portion, they’ll delay payments to subs to keep their own cash flow going. This strains the whole project and damages trust. If you're working with a GC, make sure they’ve got the financial stability to cover their part without leaning on their subs. Ever experienced this?
