  • Summary

  • "Subbies Under Fire" – A podcast series investigating sub-contractors in the building industry, and the incredible payment disputes they find themselves in. The stakes are high, and these stories are often harrowing. Our guests have chronicled stories of how construction projects have started out well, but then things start to spiral out of control as millions of dollars go unpaid. As the stories progress, things get uglier and uglier. The outcomes of these stories have included attempted suicide, broken marriages, and bankruptcy. This is a genuinely shocking podcast series about a world that rarely sees the light of day. Subbies Under Fire is hosted by Anthony Igra and Rob Kaldor and recorded in the studios of Piccolo Podcasts. Please rate and review us on your favourite listening APP.

    In Episode Three, Anthony and Rob talk to Natalie who not only works in her plumbing business with her partner but has an additional full-time job. When they won a plumbing tender, they thought they had an opportunity to scale their business. They thought this was a great opportunity to make their lives easier. But after winning the contact and commencing the work, they were told to add into scope huge stormwater works at no cost because the builder didn’t allow for it. It was a case of ‘Build it or else’!

  • Adrian and the Giant Contract Breach

    Adrian and the Giant Contract Breach
    Aug 9 2021

    In Episode Two, Anthony and Rob interview Adrian (not his real name). Adrian’s story is tragic. One word on a contract let to a cascading turn of events that pushed Adrian to the limit. Adrian runs a Fire Safety business, and his government project went completely pear-shaped. Adrian’s story shows how far a company will go to deny a variation it has previously approved. This is a must for any small business owner. If you have a story, go to subbiesunderfire.com.au
