For Homeowners

Your money is protected. Every dollar. If work stops, if quality fails, if disputes arise — the vault holds the line. You only pay for verified, completed work.

  • Zero risk of contractor abandonment
  • Full refund protection for incomplete work
  • Professional verification before every payment

For Contractors

The money is already there. No payment delays, no chasing invoices, no cash flow gaps. Complete the work, submit proof, get paid. Same day.

  • Guaranteed funds from day one
  • Automated payments within 24 hours of proof
  • Protection from frivolous payment disputes

Dispute Hold Mechanics

If homeowner and contractor disagree on payment, funds freeze automatically. A professional Quantity Surveyor measures the actual work completed. Their measurement determines the payout. Both parties agreed to this process before work began.

Example: Contractor says framing is 100% done, requests $24,000. Owner says it's only 60% complete. QS measures 75% completion. Contractor receives $18,000. Work continues.

Professional Measurement Settles Disagreements

1

Dispute Triggered

Either party can flag a disagreement. Funds freeze immediately. No partial releases.

2

QS Site Visit

Licensed Quantity Surveyor inspects within 48 hours. Takes measurements, photos, and detailed notes.

3

Binding Report

QS issues completion percentage. That number determines payment. No appeals, no negotiation.

4

Automatic Release

Vault releases proportional payment. Work continues. Remaining funds unlock when milestone actually completes.

"You agreed to this process — it protects everyone."

Both homeowner and contractor sign the QS dispute resolution clause before work begins. It's in the contract. No surprises, no court, no lawyer fees. Just professional measurement.
