Cian Brennan is a seasoned expert in the field of contract interpretation, he specialises in how to navigate these contract mazes, find the clauses that really matter, and avoid financial disasters. Originally from Ireland, Cian shares his story of why he got involved in construction. His granddad was a legend in the construction game. They used to call him "the man who built Galway." But after his granddad passed on, the company adopted a new philosophy under the new leadership and went bust. Cian went on to work for some of the biggest oil and gas giants on the planet before starting his own company, Quantum to make his granddad proud. So, join us as we uncover the secrets of construction contracts and get inspired by Cian's incredible journey in the construction world.LinksConnect with Cian Brennan on LinkedInQuantum Contract SolutionsWhere else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVegTwitter: https://twitter.com/MasterBuilderNZ

​As building contracts become more complex, resolving disputes between subcontractors and owner builders becomes increasingly challenging. Misunderstandings around payment terms, timelines or delivery can cause misaligned expectations and painful back-and-forths. Today I'm chatting with Cian Brennan, CEO of Quantum Contract Solutions, to talk about improving understanding when it comes to the business side of construction.   An award-winning entrepreneur, Cian has been working on the client side of construction for almost two decades. With unique insight into what's really going on in the construction industry, he has a deep understanding about the risks people face when entering building contracts, and how they can best protect themselves. In this episode, Cian shares his thoughts on how tradespeople and owner builders alike can better educate themselves when it comes to the fine print of building contracts.    As we tend to guide our kids towards university and away from trades, we often see a lack of sound education for tradespeople around business matters. We talk about how being good at your job alone is now simply the price of entry - developing a solid set of skills on the business side is crucial in really seeing a business grow.    The longer you're in the building business, the more likely you'll encounter a dispute. Cian emphasises the importance of clear communication and a solid contract, as well as the ability to understand the terms and conditions included.    While there's always an element of risk involved in a build, having a clear dispute resolution process in place will minimise the chance of things really going south. So whatever your role is, it's time to level up and get familiar with the nitty gritty, knowing this will set you up to see the best possible outcomes for your projects.

“I hated watching a lot of these smaller companies losing money, going out of business unnecessarily time and time again. They just didn't understand how to do the contractual part of the construction game properly. You can absolutely deliver a really, really good job, do a great, fantastic piece of work for your clients, and still come out at a loss because you didn't manage it contractually properly.” -Cian Brennan, Managing Director at Quantum Contract Solutions When many contractors start their companies, they come from a place of experience. They've built up a business from long hours on the site and a good understanding of what it takes to deliver a successful project to their clients. What they often aren't comfortable with is deciphering the contracts that come along with those jobs. This inflection point is where Cian Brennan and Quantum Contract Solutions step in to provide clarity and confidence in the contractual process. Cian started out working in construction himself and was inspired to be the help so many people need.
