For Offsite & MMC Manufacturers
Offsite manufacturers face a cashflow crisis: 70-80% of costs upfront, but homeowners won't pay until they see results. BuildROI solves this with factory verification that unlocks early payment while protecting homeowners.
The Cashflow Problem Blocking Offsite Adoption
Traditional milestone payments don't match offsite manufacturing economics:
- You incur 70-80% of total project costs upfront (materials, labour, factory overheads)
- Modules are completed in your factory weeks before the homeowner sees them
- Delivery and installation represent only 15-20% of your total cost
- Homeowners won't release £60-80k before seeing any work
Result: Cashflow stalemate prevents offsite projects from starting. Your capital is tied up, homeowners are protected but suspicious, and offsite adoption stalls.
How BuildROI Solves the Cashflow Problem
BuildROI moves quality verification into the factory — creating verified milestones during production that justify earlier payment while protecting homeowners.
The BuildROI Difference
- Independent PM verifies quality at your factory during production
- Verification triggers escrow payment release — you get paid as work progresses
- 50% paid after production milestone verified, 80% before delivery — matches your actual cost profile
- Homeowners protected by independent sign-off — quality verified before it's built into their home
Modified Milestone Payment Schedule for Offsite
BuildROI's factory verification model enables a payment structure that works for manufacturers and homeowners:
| Milestone | PM Verification | Payment Released | Cumulative Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract + specs finalized | PM reviews manufacturing specs, factory certification, delivery timeline | 10% | 10% |
| Production 50% complete | PM visits factory, verifies components, materials, quality standards mid-production | 40% | 50% |
| Factory completion + QA pass | PM inspects finished module at factory before transport, full photo documentation | 30% | 80% |
| Delivery to site | PM verifies module arrives undamaged and installation-ready | 10% | 90% |
| Installation complete | PM verifies proper installation, integration, weatherproofing, final sign-off | 10% | 100% |
Why This Works for Everyone
✅ For Manufacturers
- 50% payment after initial production verified (covers materials + early labour)
- 80% paid before delivery (matches your actual cost profile)
- Faster payment than traditional contracts
- Independent verification proves quality to homeowners (increases sales)
✅ For Homeowners
- Independent PM verifies quality at factory before it's built into their home
- Photo/video documentation shows production progress
- Problems caught in factory cost £200-500 to fix vs. £2,000-5,000 on-site
- Still protected by escrow — payment only released after PM sign-off
