In a perfect world, a contract should include a clear set of instructions that conveys well-defined expectations to all parties concerned. In reality, it’s often a monster document packed full of legalese that no one really understands.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Today’s guest, Karalynn Cromeens, Owner & Managing Partner at The Cromeens Law Firm, joins the show to share the steps everyone can take to make contracts more straightforward and less contentious.

We discuss:

• The current state of construction contracts
• The difference between secured and unsecured debts
• How to protect yourself when it comes to contracting and payment terms
• Best practices for handling change orders
• Construction technology and the future of contracting and payments
