Tasks arranged remotely often become complicated because of an unclear scope and a verbal agreement. A few written sentences resolve most later disputes.

Quick answer

Describe precisely what needs to be done, agree the deadline and price in writing, ask for progress photographs and keep a record of payment. For administrative tasks, prepare a proper authorisation.

What you need to do

Describe the work
Write down what is being done, where, to what extent and what counts as the work being finished.
Agree the deadline and price
Agree the deadline, price and method of payment before work begins.
Confirm the agreement in writing
A message or a short document setting out the agreed terms is a sufficient basis for both sides.
Track progress
Ask for photographs before, during and after the work, with a short description of what was done.
Sort out authorisations
For tasks before institutions, check which authorisation is required and in what form.

Prepare

Written description of the work
Agreed deadline and price
Photographs of the condition before starting
Proof of payment
Required authorisation, if the task calls for it

Common mistakes

Paying the full amount in advance.
A verbal agreement without a single written record.
An unclear description of what counts as finished work.
