In this episode of The Construction Cogs Podcast, I sit down with Richard Stone, founder of Project Management Blueprint, to talk about what really happens when construction becomes a race to the bottom, and why chasing the cheapest price often creates the most expensive problems.
Richard breaks down the thinking behind Project Management Blueprint and the structured, step-by-step approach he teaches for running smoother, more compliant, more profitable projects, across refurbs, conversions, and bigger builds.
We get into:
- Tendering and pricing pressure, and why cheap usually means something is missing
- The real-world importance of solid pre-construction information
- Compliance, health and safety, and the consequences when corners are cut
- Mental health and the stress that comes with insecure, pressured work
- The line that sums it up: Nothing is as expensive as cheap advice
If you’ve ever felt the squeeze to price lower, move faster, or take shortcuts to “win” the job, this one will hit home.
