What happens when things go wrong on a job? When they do, what can we learn from it so that we don't make the same mistakes again? Stephen has a case study this week that contains multiple important lessons that all contractors should hear.
Topics we cover in this episode include:

• A case study in construction failure
• Breaking down the facts
• Make sure insurance covers anything your project touches - including existing buildings
• Have conversations with the architect before the bid
• If you're redoing work for a bond claim, be prepared to tear everything up
