For Builders
Same job, same money — with structure that protects your work, guarantees payment, and builds your pension.
What BuildROI Does for Builders
- Fair payment guaranteed — Money held in escrow, released when work is verified. No chasing invoices, no payment disputes
- Build your reputation — Verified track record of quality work, not just testimonials
- Professional support — Experienced ex-builder PMs who understand the work and verify milestones
- Pension contributions — Every job builds your retirement fund with government matching
- Formalized income — Documented earnings help with mortgages, credit, and protect you from HMRC
How It Actually Works
An experienced ex-builder checks your work at key milestones. Not to micromanage — to verify quality and trigger payment.
The Process
- Milestone sign-offs — PM checks in with crew boss at key stages, verifies work meets standards
- Immediate payment — When work is verified, escrow releases funds. No waiting, no chasing
- Quality protection — Independent verification protects your reputation. Nobody can claim you didn't do the job right
- Admin handled — Templates, scheduling, Building Control uploads done for you
Key point: Good work gets signed off and you get paid. The PM isn't there to interfere — they're there to verify so payment flows and your reputation grows.
Common Questions
Will I earn less?
No. You get paid the same for the same work. With growing homeowner trust through BuildROI, more jobs should mean higher earnings, not less.
Is this just more paperwork?
Not for you. The PM handles simple templates and tracking. You focus on the work.
What about cash jobs?
BuildROI tracks work transparently. Declared income helps with mortgages, pensions, and credit — and protects you when HMRC comes asking. Most homeowners now prefer certificates and peace of mind anyway.
What if we disagree on a sign-off?
The PM documents the concern with photos. You can fix it, explain why it meets spec, or escalate if needed. Nothing moves forward without resolution — which protects both you and the homeowner.
Will I be constantly checked up on?
No. The PM checks in with the crew boss at key stages — not to interfere, just to verify. Good work gets ticked off and things keep moving.
Build Your Pension While You Build
Every job you complete through BuildROI builds your pension automatically.
How Your Pension Contributions Work
When you contribute to your pension through BuildROI, you benefit from three sources of funding:
- Your contribution — Money you choose to put in from your wages
- Tax relief — Government adds 25% automatically (£100 becomes £125)
- BuildROI government match — New subsidy that matches up to £100/month of your contribution
Real Pension Examples
Here's what different contribution levels could mean for your retirement:
Age 30 • Contributing £100/month
(£617 pension + £995 state)
Age 40 • Contributing £200/month
(£610 pension + £995 state)
Age 50 • Contributing £300/month
(£440 pension + £995 state)
Age 25 • Contributing £150/month
(£910 pension + £995 state)
Key takeaway: The earlier you start, the more you get. A 25-year-old contributing £150/month ends up with £273,000, while a 50-year-old contributing £300/month (twice as much) only reaches £132,000.
