// CLIPS FROM Iron Maple Constructors Ltd.
// LESSONS FROM Iron Maple Constructors Ltd.
Launch a new GC on relationship capital, not corporate resume — personal reputation is the startup's balance sheet.
Pursue lower-risk, relationship-driven work first (CM, design-build) before chasing hard-bid lump sum that demands a corporate track record you don't yet have.
Strong sub-trade relationships translate directly to competitive pricing — subs bid better when they trust the GC will pay on time and run organized sites.
A GC's job is risk management first; if you can't properly price or manage a risk profile, you shouldn't be doing that contract type.
P3 contracts have become progressively less attractive as risk transfers pile onto contractors while margins compress — know when to exit a delivery model.
Diversify your work mix across contract types (CM, design-build, lump sum) and project sizes so a bad run in one segment doesn't threaten the whole business.
