The Vault
Every project starts with full payment held in a bank-controlled escrow account. Not a promise. Not a deposit. The entire project amount.
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.
Proof Packages
Payments release when proof is complete. Not promises. Not estimates. Verified evidence of completed work.
What Triggers a Payout
Field Operations: Proof as a Byproduct
The contractor doesn't do extra work. Every field activity creates proof automatically.
Attendance Tracking
Crew clock-in with GPS. Proves labor hours and site presence.
Job Safety Analysis
Daily safety briefings. Proves compliance and site conditions.
Concrete Tracking
Pour logs, strength tests, curing schedules. Proves material quality.
Progress Photos
GPS-stamped images at every milestone. Proves work completion.
Drawing Markup
As-built annotations. Proves deviations and change orders.
Deficiency Tracking
Snag lists with photo evidence. Proves issue resolution.
"The contractor doesn't do extra work. Proof is a byproduct."
Every normal field operation creates documentation that becomes payment proof.

Verified Pros
The barbershop concept: portfolios built from system data, not marketing claims. Real work, real costs, real outcomes.
Verified Work
Every completed project with GPS photos, inspection reports, and owner ratings. Not testimonials — system records.
Real Cost Data
Actual bids, actual budgets, actual change orders. See what similar projects really cost, not marketing estimates.
Outcome Tracking
On-time completion rate, budget variance, dispute history, QS findings. The data that matters.
Not marketing — accountability.
Every stat is pulled from escrow releases, inspection reports, and QS measurements. Contractors can't game the system. The work speaks for itself.
QS Dispute Resolution
When homeowner and contractor disagree, a professional Quantity Surveyor measures the actual work completed. No negotiation. Just measurement.
Professional Measurement Settles Disagreements
Dispute Triggered
Either party can flag a disagreement. Funds freeze immediately. No partial releases.
QS Site Visit
Licensed Quantity Surveyor inspects within 48 hours. Takes measurements, photos, and detailed notes.
Binding Report
QS issues completion percentage. That number determines payment. No appeals, no negotiation.
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.
