Tie every deposit and instalment to scope, materials, milestone, completion date, variation and approval.
A transfer screenshot does not explain what was bought
Use a written scope with drawings, materials, exclusions, price, milestones and completion date. Each receipt should identify the contractor, customer, work, payment stage and balance. Number every variation and record its price and time effect before work proceeds.
Photograph concealed work and completed milestones before releasing payment. Reconcile quotations, approvals, receipts, warranties and retention in one file; confirm condo or estate permissions separately. Read the renovation-permission guide, contractor due diligence and management service.

Fact check
Receipt requirements, consumer protection, tax invoices, permits, retention, warranties and remedies depend on the work and current Thai rules. Obtain current professional advice.
