It&#8217;s hard, dirty, sweaty, complicated work that takes time, patience, and an acceptance of some risk. That&#8217;s the biggest part of being a contractor- recognizing and planning for how to manage the risks that come with the job. Some of the biggest problems though can be avoided with proper management.<br \/>\n\tIf you&#8217;re a subcontractor the first step is making sure to fully vet your general contractor. Know where they&#8217;re coming from and don&#8217;t be afraid to fight for what you know is important to the job- in terms of payment and safety. Call out the potential problems early so they don&#8217;t blow up later.<br \/>\n\tDon&#8217;t keep working with a supply house that keeps letting you down either. If you&#8217;re missing items from order it might seem to be a mild inconvenience at first, but one day they&#8217;ll short you something that can stop work and cost you significant money.<br \/>\n\tSee more risk management tips and how you can combat the woes of them here: <a href=\"http:\/\/ecmweb.com\/contractor\/5-ways-contractors-can-manage-risk-more-effectively#slide-0-field_images-56341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">5 Ways Contractors Can Manage Risk More Effectively.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction is a risky business, but the key to it is learning how to accept and minimize the risk.
