HOW TO COMPETE FOR THE BEST TRADES AND WIN EVERY TIME

You can trust that once your trade contractor's task is completed and all checklist items for that task is approved by the appropriate personnel, BuilderPay will immediately execute the payment process that automatically transfers project escrow funds into your trades' checking accounts.

Our streamlined payment system guarantees that your trade contractor's payment will be made with a turnaround time of 2 to 24 hours.

Your trades will love you for it...

What We Do

BuilderPay is focused on the unique requirements of distributing fiduciary funds used during the construction process (draws) that require tight governance and control, and thus is unlike PayPal or Venmo. 


How We Do It

BuilderPay can now pay at a much more granular level, typically at the completed task, and transfer task payments to a vendor’s checking account within 24 hours. 

As opposed to the weeks, or even months, it takes with the existing legacy payment process. 

PROBLEM

Slow payers will cost construction industry $136 Billion in 2021

Legacy Constructon Draws

The construction draw process works the same today as 50 years ago.

It’s done with milestone inspections at the construction site. Draws come days or weeks later. Then the trade contractors and suppliers are paid even later than that.


Cash Flow Constraints

Trade contractors need better cash flow.

Homebuilders and general contractors need a much easier way to create that trade contractor cash flow.

SOLUTION

We start with a clean slate and completely revision the entire construction draw process from the ground up.

Cash Flow as a Competitive Advantage

Faster trade contractor payments creates significant competitive advantage to the homebuilders and general contractors that provide their trades with improved cash flow.

Marginal Improvement is No Longer Sufficent

At the heart of BuilderPay's advantage...

Is its ability to incentivize the trades to commence and conclude tasks more promptly. This is achieved through a performance-based rewards system, where timely task execution is directly rewarded, thus encouraging a more efficient workflow and markedly improving the overall cycle-time performance of construction projects. The platform's utilization of blockchain technology ensures that these transactions are not only faster but also transparent and secure, offering peace of mind to all parties involved.

BuilderPay goes beyond merely optimizing payment timelines. It revolutionizes the way project progress is monitored and verified.

Traditionally, construction progress assessments are conducted by project managers or general contractors, often leading to subjective "percent complete" evaluations that can result in disputes and delays. BuilderPay eliminates this ambiguity by mandating a detailed checklist for each task, supplemented with photo and video documentation. This process guarantees a granular, task-level view of project completion, ensuring that every task is clearly defined, documented, and verified by at least two parties before payment is released.


From Periodic to Performance...

This paradigm shift from periodic progress payments to immediate, performance-based remuneration eradicates common points of contention, streamlining project execution and fostering a more harmonious working environment. The requirement for thorough documentation including photos and video related to the task, and adherence to a comprehensive task checklist process prior to payment approval further motivates the trades to allocate their most skilled crews to complete each task.

This ensures that work is completed to the highest standards, efficiently and without unnecessary delays, thus assuring accelerated payments and optimized cash flow for the trades.

In essence, BuilderPay is more than just a payment mechanism; it's a strategic tool that transforms the construction landscape. By incentivizing speed, quality, and transparency, BuilderPay not only expedites project completion but also elevates the quality of construction projects. It promises a future where disputes over payments and progress are a thing of the past, paving the way for smoother, more reliable, and mutually beneficial relationships between contractors and trades.

In 1998, a homebuilder in Atlanta grew from 300 homes to over 1500 homes a year over a two-year period.

They had a severe trade contractor shortage…
