Do you believe construction contracts need to be more transparent, more trusting, and more human? Ray Mellor-Pike, MD at RMP Consulting, talks about the virtues of moving past the “us versus them” mentality that pervades construction contracts, in order to create a better industry overall.
Gavin and Ray discuss what makes a good contract, how improving relationships can be the key to success, and how to see the real people behind the industry. They also provide insights on humanising construction contracts to foster trust, collaboration and fairness.
