Own The Build
Own the Build is the podcast for Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Directors who want to sharpen their commercial edge and lead with confidence.
Hosted by Paul Heming, former Commercial leader and now co-founder of C-Link, each week’s conversation dives into the realities of modern commercial management — from procurement and contracts to digital transformation and leadership in construction.
Through honest discussions with industry leaders, forensic planners, and forward-thinking QSs, Paul explores how the best commercial teams deliver profit, performance, and project certainty in a changing industry.
If you’re serious about mastering the commercial side of construction — this is where you build your advantage.

How to Write Simple and Effective Subcontracts that are Back to Back with the Main Contract. (EP 157)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Paul is joined by Sarah Fox, a construction contract expert and Director at 500 Words, who delivers simple digital trust-enhancing contracts to put construction companies in control.
In today’s conversation, we discussed Sarah’s book - “How to Write Simple and Effective Subcontract Agreements in Just 500 Words”. Sarah was inspired to write this book for “all the talented construction companies frustrated with horrific one-sided contracts”.
We discuss in today’s show how Main and Subcontractors should manage and negotiate Back-to-Back Main Contracts reasonably and fairly to benefit all parties involved.
You can download Sarah’s books here.
