Paper Trail

Construction runs on conversations. Without records and signatures, every one of them can turn into a fight. Stories from the field, what went wrong, and the habits that keep the record straight.

The rules of the section

  1. Real stories, no real names. Clients, subs, addresses and amounts are changed or left out. Nothing about an open dispute.
  2. Told by the contractor who lived it. Stories come from Claudio. When a post combines several jobs into one, it says so.
  3. Every story ends with the record. What document, signature, photo or message would have prevented the mess.
  4. No legal advice. When it gets serious, talk to a construction attorney.
