In this instructional monologue, the speaker explains that consequential loss clauses in construction contracts can hold subcontractors liable for the client’s lost profit, which may far exceed the subcontractor’s own financial capacity. He emphasizes that on complex projects, a single issue can cascade, causing the subcontractor to bear the client’s commercial losses. Consequently, he advises subcontractors to proactively limit their exposure by negotiating a clear limit of liability, treating the clause as a critical risk factor rather than fine‑print legalese.
