After discussing those you can formulate a solid payment plan which will suit both of you. For instance you have to finish the work fast, so instruct them to work on pay per hour basis plan. In case you have no hurry and want to finish it slowly tell them that you want to go for a daily basis payment or weekly or monthly if possible. Establishing these criteria’s in advance will enable the project to run smoothly without any hiccups.

Discuss all the details of the project and the time they are going to invest there. This will depend on the mode of their working style and the payment plans too. Or you might have to re-plan the payment plans in order to make the ends meet. Whichever you give more preference to.
