What is a key action to take in order to avoid disputes with a contractor?

  1. Keep communication verbal

  2. Verify materials used

  3. Avoid discussing specifications

  4. Delegating all responsibility

The correct answer is: Verify materials used

Verifying materials used in a project is crucial to avoid disputes with a contractor because it ensures that the materials meet the agreed-upon specifications and quality standards. When you confirm the materials beforehand, it helps create clarity and accountability, minimizing the chances of misunderstandings or dissatisfaction with the workmanship or final deliverables. This action not only protects the interests of the property management team but also promotes a harmonious working relationship with the contractor by ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding the project requirements. Additionally, using written communication, such as emails or contracts, can further solidify agreements about materials, but the act of verifying the actual materials reflects due diligence and attentiveness to detail on the part of the property manager. By focusing on what materials will be used, it’s easier to hold parties accountable and ensure that the quality of work aligns with expectations.
