How It Works

  • Create a New Project

    The app guides you through the process to plan and prepare the key details of your next project. We'll then match you to your top 3 Rated Tradies and you can choose which to request a quote from.

  • View & Agree the Detailed Project Plan

    Your chosen construction firm will create a detailed project plan which sets out all of the key details for your upcoming project. Both parties will agree to this before you make your first project payment.

  • Project Begins & Monitoring Starts

    The project begins and you start to receive regular project progress updates. When a milestone is complete your contractor will send you evidence of completion for your approval.

  • Project Success!

    Once the final stage, snagging, is complete and signed off by you the project will be complete and the final payments will be made to your contractor.

View & Approve the Detailed Project Plan

Review the Plan & Raise any Queries

Once your quote is accepted and contractor chosen, you'll receive a comprehensive project plan. It'll outline each stage, key tasks, timelines, budget breakdown, and payment schedule. It'll even outline the evidence you'll receive at the end of each milestone.

Approve the Project Plan

You'll review the plan and voice any questions or tweaks you'd like to make. Then, both you and your contractor will sign to acknowledge your roles so everyone starts on the same page from day one.

Make Your First Payment

Project plan signed, start date set, it's time to make your first payment. Part of this goes to the contractor to kick-start things, with the rest held securely in a third-party escrow account. Only when you're satisfied with the first milestone, do we release it.

The Project Kicks Off

Receive Regular Progress Updates

You'll receive regular updates at a frequency set by you which will include a comprehensive list of all tasks completed and visuals to show you what's been done. No more guesswork, you'll always be in the know!

Review Milestone Evidence & Sign Off As Complete

At the end of each project milestone your contractor will submit at least 5 pieces of evidence for you to review and approve. Something not quite right? You can easily raise a concern and get any issues resolved before the milestone is completed.

Safe Payment Schedule

Our mission is to equip you with a tool that guarantees successful project completion every time, so only once you've approved each milestone will the next payment be released. Keeping you protected from any incomplete or poorly finished project work.

Project Success!

Snagging Completed

Wrapping up the project, we dive into the snagging stage, where your contractor will fine-tune all the tiny details according to your project plan. Remember, this milestone is only considered complete after you've reviewed the evidence and given your seal of approval.

Final Milestone Sign Off & Payment

And just like that, we've crossed the finish line of another successful project journey! You've given your nod of approval to the final milestone, and your contractor has received the final payment. Ready for the next one? We're ready when you are!
