7. Thinking there will be no problems. Weather delays, employees quitting, and more will happen. Having problems is okay, but it's not okay ifrepparttar contractor can't work outrepparttar 146536 issues to your satisfaction.

8. Expecting neatness. Believe it or not, it is sometimes efficient to leave things laying where they'll next be used. There will be messes, so prepare accordingly. Cover things if it will be a dusty job, for example. Also be clear inrepparttar 146537 contract thatrepparttar 146538 jobsite will be cleaned up atrepparttar 146539 end ofrepparttar 146540 job.

9. Not having penalties inrepparttar 146541 contract. This is important on large jobs. It's one thing to say "Work to be completed by May 2nd," but better to add, "$100 per day to be deducted fromrepparttar 146542 contract price for each dayrepparttar 146543 job is unfinished beyond May 2nd." That's what I call a motivational clause.

10. Thinking contracts will prevent problems. They help, but unreasonable people on either side of a contract can ignore them, or use "literal readings" to make things even worse. Find someone you can work with, and keep your eyes open.
