Описание: This episode breaks down the early warning signs that reveal when a construction project is heading toward trouble and what great builders do to turn it around.

Through real examples and proven patterns, he shows how identifying symptoms early can save a project from chaos and restore stability, clarity, and momentum. If you want to lead projects that stay on track and protect people, this episode gives you the lens to see problems before they grow.
