For Homeowners
Stop gambling with deposits and vague promises. BuildROI gives you structure, protection, and peace of mind from quote to handover.
Current Pilot Phase: BuildROI is currently accepting projects valued at £20,000 and above. Once full infrastructure is established, we'll be able to handle smaller projects.
Why Home Projects Feel Risky
You've saved for months, researched options, and thought through every detail — but hesitation kicks in before the first quote is even drafted.
What's missing isn't skill — it's structure:
- No formal licensing for builders — you can't verify experience or track record
- Without milestone-based payments or independent sign-offs, delays and unexpected costs pile up
- By the time problems emerge, most of your money is already gone
- Even with good builders, you feel like a nuisance raising concerns once you've paid 80-90%
How BuildROI Protects You
BuildROI replaces uncertainty with structure:
🔒 Escrow Protection
Your money sits in escrow and only moves when an ex-builder Project Manager signs off pre-agreed milestones with photos and notes.
✅ Independent Verification
Every milestone is checked by someone who's done the work and knows what matters. If something isn't right, it's fixed BEFORE payment is released.
📋 Clear Milestones
Every quote is broken into clear stages. You know exactly what you're paying for and when. No extras unless you authorize them.
📸 Digital Evidence Pack
Complete documentation with photos, certificates, and warranties. This increases property value and can help at resale.
What You're Actually Paying For
BuildROI's fee is 15% of project cost, but the government subsidizes 5%, so you pay 10%. Here's what that covers:
- Escrow protection — Your funds held safely until work is verified complete
- Independent PM verification — Experienced ex-builders verify quality at every milestone
- Digital evidence pack — Photos, tests, documents proving compliance (increases property value)
- Payment guarantee for builders — No chasing invoices means focused work
- Dispute prevention — Clear documentation eliminates "he said, she said"
- Project management — Platform tracks materials, milestones, and trade sequencing
