By period and or phase of project or upon monthly invoices. This should be defined in the written contract.

Even a one page contract is better than nothing, defines the work and helps prevent misunderstandings later.

Is he designing the kitchen?

Is he doing interior elevations of all major rooms or features?

Has he included structural engineer fees and his other possible costs?

The more work, the higher the fee. The more time spent in preliminary design, the more pressure to do skimpy bare bones CD's.
