BuildGuard gives owners a structured project workspace: upload scope, set milestones, fund payment gates, dispatch inspectors, capture evidence, and release payments only after confirmation.
Evidence photos, visible-scope review, issue flags, and release recommendation.
The product is not just a contractor directory. It is a control layer between project scope, inspection evidence, and milestone payment release.
Owner adds scope, contract terms, address, contractor, and payment stages.
Each milestone receives amount, release method, and inspection quote.
Inspector visits site and submits structured report with evidence.
Admin/supervisor approves payout after the inspection decision.
Transparent fees for the verification and payment-control services that sit between owner and contractor.
$150 to $500 depending on complexity, item count, and evidence requirements.
1% to 3% for e-transfer, card, bank, PayPal, or Stripe-supported flows.
$50 extra per cash event, requiring inspector plus senior supervisor, dual count, receipt, and photos.
