Contractors don’t receive a single, lump-sum payment for the work or materials they provide. Instead, construction contracts typically break the full contract value into progress payments, made at regular intervals during the project schedule.
Miscommunication is a common root of conflict between homeowners and contractors during renovation or construction projects. Here are a few strategies to prevent miscommunication and manage expectations effectively:
Create comprehensive contracts that clearly outline the scope of work, payment schedules, and timelines. Ensure that both parties understand the terms laid out and any technical jargon is explained. The contract should also include details about the materials to be used, the processes to follow, and expected outcomes.
