How to avoid disputes on small jobs

Most disputes are not about bad work. They come from unclear expectations.

These small habits reduce misunderstandings without adding extra admin.

Be specific about what is included

Vague wording creates room for disagreement. Clear descriptions remove it.

If something is commonly assumed but not included, say it. Silence is often interpreted as included.

A clear accept or decline avoids confusion. It also shows when the agreement actually happened.

Small changes add up. Writing them down helps when invoicing or answering questions later.

Clear communication protects your time, your cash flow, and your reputation.
