For consultants when you agree details in advance with your client, the work is completed with much less fuss and confusion as both you and your client have discussed matters in advance and have made a written agreement to that effect. This means that both you and the client know what to expect from each other within a given timetable. You can then do what you do best for your client and complete the contract on good terms.
