Paperback. Stop Being Your General Contractor's Free Loan. You're the best at your trade. You show up on time, your crews are efficient, and your work is flawless. So why are you the last one paid, the first one blamed, and the one sweating payroll while tens of thousands of dollars in accepted invoices sit unpaid?In the construction industry, the quality of your work has almost nothing to do with whether you get paid on time. Instead, it has everything to do with whether your contract, your paperwork, and your legal position were built to survive a General Contractor's cash flow problem before it became yours. The Subcontractor's Survival Guide is the definitive manual for the working trade professional-electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, framers, and concrete crews-who are tired of being "undefended". Written by industry expert Garrett O'Neill, this book provides a set of narrow, highly useful tools that let you stay exactly where you are in the construction hierarchy while making sure that position stops costing you money.Inside, you will discover: The "Cash Flow Squeeze" Learn why subcontractors occupy a unique financial spot where you carry labor and material costs first while money trickles down a five-link chain.Legal Weapons Before You Bid: A crash course in mechanic's liens and payment bonds. Learn the three critical deadlines that determine whether you get paid from the property or the bond if the GC goes quiet.Toxic Contract Clauses: How to spot and negotiate "red flag" language like pay-if-paid, flow-down clauses, and open-ended indemnification before you sign your life away.Pricing for Reality: Why winning every bid is actually a warning sign. Learn how to build a bid that accounts for overhead, markup vs. margin, and the "carrying cost" of a slow-paying client.The 3-Step Change Order Habit: Stop donating free labor. Implement a simple process to flag, price, and approve scope changes before a hammer swings.Professional Invoicing: Turn your invoices into triggers for payment. Learn the follow-up cadence that prompts action from accounts payable without making you look like a pest.Vetting Your Clients: Learn the 20-minute due-diligence process to check a GC's reputation and payment history before you ever submit a bid.This is not a book of abstract theory or management "theater". Every chapter is built around a real-world decision point-sign the clause or walk, chase the invoice or file the lien-designed to be read in the parking lot with a contract on the hood of your truck.Whether you are currently chasing money you're not sure you'll see or looking to scale your business without losing your sanity, this guide provides the checklists, templates, and systems to protect your margins. You've already proven you can do the work. This book is about making sure you get to keep what you earned doing it. This item is printed on demand.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
