A signed, evidenced agreement doesn't eliminate risk, but it turns "he said, she said" into a record both sides already agreed to, whichever side of the job you're on.

How it works

Five minutes to a protected job

Each side follows its own short sequence, and they meet in the same signed agreement.

For homeowners

1

Describe the job

Scope of work, agreed outcome, timeframe and value: structured fields, not a blank page.

2

Bring your contractor

Search verified pros, or invite someone you already trust.

3

Add before photos

Photo evidence bundled in automatically, with more storage as the job gets bigger.

4

Sign, then pay

Digital signatures, timestamped. You only pay once the agreement is finalised.

For contractors

1

Get found

A direct invite from a homeowner, or a matched job you found yourself on the marketplace.

2

Quote and arrange a viewing

Send an itemised quote, then message the homeowner directly to confirm scope on site.

3

Agree the schedule

Set out payment milestones and, once it's built, block out the job in your calendar.

4

Sign, then get paid

Digital signatures, timestamped. Milestone payments tracked in one place, not chased over text.

Pricing

One fee. No surprises.

No subscription, no listing fee for homeowners. You only pay when you finalise an agreement, not when you create one.
