    Episode 7: Why Most GC and Sub Relationships Fail and How to Fix Them

    Most GC and Sub relationships do not fail because of bad work. They fail because of broken trust, poor communication, and unmet expectations. In this episode of The Build Line, Heather and Jerry sit down for a raw, unfiltered GC versus Sub conversation with no prep and no script. They openly share what drives each side crazy, why trust matters more than the lowest bid, and how respect on the job site directly impacts profit, efficiency, and long term survival. They dive into why communication breaks down on both sides of the job, where entitlement quietly shows up and erodes trust, how GCs and Subs can actually set each other up for success instead of working at odds, and why strong relationships are ultimately what carry businesses through the slow seasons and into long term stability. This is not about picking sides. It is about fixing what is broken so everyone wins. If you are a GC, a subcontractor, or a business owner who depends on strong partnerships, this episode is for you.

    Episode 4: What Entrepreneurship Really Takes

    Episode 4 of the Build Line is out now and we get into the real version of entrepreneurship. Not the highlight reel. The wins. The weight. The why.

Risk, responsibility, burnout, flexibility, pride, and the honest truth of building something from the ground up. Heather and Jerry share real stories from missed weekends, big swings, close calls, the pressure of feeding families, and the pride of seeing a project succeed.
