Post: Contractor payment, materials & labor questions

For the most cost-effectiveness & efficiency, does one usually purchase materials needed & either have the contractor pick them up or delivered to the site? And does the contractor give info on how much or size of a certain item(s), based on measurements taken beforehand?
Also, I've noticed that many contractors (at least in my area) don't take credit cards (which I'd rather use as some form of protection in case something goes left)--even the ones seemingly well-established. Is this a thing across the board?
Regarding credit cards, most contractors do not accept this payment because of the percentage they have to pay back of the use of the service.

Just wandering if anyone had any thought on what Bitcoin will do for Real Estate Transactions.
Or any digital currency for that matter.
Thanks in Advance.

First of all your great job on motivating others.
Great Question, it all depends on the business structure that you have in place to rehab your projects. Generally you won't need a General Contractors License, but if you are going to be purchasing materials and pay for labor, then you start to get into a grey area of the law.
Also, check your local municipalities to see what is required to pull permits.
Sometime you can get the permits as a owner builder and then some states require a contractor to pull permits.
