Proper communication, keeping tempers under control, allowing the other to express concepts of the situation without interruption, and exhibiting mutual respect can go a long way in handling disputes that arise. Most of which can be due to a misunderstanding on the part of one or both parties.
While it is important to deal with conflicts with the contractor as soon as they arise, avoid discussing differences of opinion in front of others. Set up a private meeting free from distractions where the two of you can discuss the situation alone.
You want to meet the contractor halfway, but remember. As long as building code, safety, and contract guidelines are met, you do have the final say. The contractor was hired by you to complete a project you are paying for, to your specifications; not the other way around.
The full scale project which commenced in July 1999, will run over a further three years and will record around three hundred interviews. The funding allocated to the Library also provides for a publication, based on the oral histories, which will make the stories more widely accessible.
If contract terms are not being met and discussing the situation doesn’t bring desired results, send a letter outlining the problem and how you would like it resolved by certified mail to the contractor; request a return receipt. If the problem continues it may be time for outside intervention. Try discussing the problem with a trusted family member or knowledgeable friend. If that doesn’t help, you may want legal advice from an attorney. You also have the option to connect with various organizations and associations that offer consumer assistance in resolving disputes with service providers. 1.
