Tier 1 construction companies use this trick to quietly drain your cash flow, and you might not even notice it until it’s too late. Do you want to avoid it? Here’s how: When they slip in a “dispute resolution” clause, it forces expensive arbitration or court proceedings. They may also pick an out-of-state jurisdiction, making it even more costly. Here’s the fix: 1. Ensure the legal jurisdiction is where the project is. 2. Add a clause for Senior Management to meet before arbitration. 3. Push for low-cost resolution like mediation. Pro Tip: Add interest on late payments to keep cash flowing. Don’t sign anything without these protections!
