Rick and his wife Michonne are building their dream home in Alexandria, VA. The couple have designed a two-story craftsman style house, complete with a samurai style training dojo and shooting range on the edge of their property. They have hired Walker Construction LLC, owned and operated by Negan Walker to complete the construction of their home. Negan has agreed to complete their home in four months.

The contract has no provisions specifically dealing with payments. Rick and Michonne would like to pay Negan when the house is completed, however Negan is insisting on being paid as he works.

Structure a payment schedule that takes into account the needs of both owner and contractor.
