This site contains comprehensive documentation for the BuildROI concept. The current design is intentionally minimal—think 'one step above wireframes'—to keep focus on the substance. If this project gets the green light, professional design and development would follow.

Start here — 2-Minute Brief

BuildROI is: the process layer for construction projects — staged, escrowed payments released only when experienced ex-builders verify the work with photo evidence. Homeowners get confidence their renovations and retrofits actually work. Builders get paid on time and respected for quality. Retired builders become verifiers earning pension top-ups.

One platform that protects homeowners and public money, respects builders, delivers quality — and tackles the £17.5bn crisis in construction quality and builder pensions.

The Feasibility Ask

To run a 6–12 month proof of concept across 10+jobs in an agreed area. Government supports the process layer + independent evaluation (not the build costs). Budget: £150k–£300k.

How actual jobs work (in 4 steps)

1
Scope → milestones
Agree clear scope with 3–4 milestones per job.
2
Escrow funds
Money sits in escrow. No release without checks.
3
PM verification
Ex-builder PM signs off each stage with photos. Any variations are flagged and resolved before release
4
Release & evidence
Payment releases and an audit-ready evidence pack is created.

Homeowners - Get work done right

Stop gambling with deposits or vague promises. Your money sits in escrow and only moves when an ex-builder Project Manager signs off pre-agreed milestones with photos and notes. If something isn’t right, it’s fixed before payment is released.

You also get a builder track record you can trust: a privacy-safe history of jobs signed off through BuildROI, plus an optional homeowner note. Thin or negative notes are a warning; strong notes build confidence. Instead of a ballooning contingency, you have a clear contract with a transparent fee capped at up to 15% (But better yet 5% of that figure is subsidised by the Government reducing what comes out your pocket to 10%). Result: fewer disputes, no extras unless you authorise them, safer payments, and a certificate/evidence pack that can help at resale.

Builders - Secure your future

Same job, same money — with structure. A BuildROI Project Manager works with your crew lead; nothing is paid until the milestone is signed off as satisfactory. Good builders shouldn’t worry — checks are common sense, not box-ticking.

You get predictable cash flow, fewer callbacks, less admin, and proof of good work. We’re also building a career path for trades: pension support and bonuses for completed retrofits. Everyone gives to get — our only ask is a good finish.

Government - Build better Infrastructure

The problem isn’t policy — it’s process. BuildROI adds the governance layer: escrowed payments, ex-builder verification, and audit-ready evidence packs. It protects public money, reduces complaints, and raises grant redemption — without funding the builds.

With retrofit, new homes, pensions, and workforce aims aligned, every £ spent will reduce charges for what should be avoided rework, fewer disputes, and better delivery. We’ll surface issues early, fix them fast, and publish results. Start: /summary → Evidence: /Sources & Methodology → Talk: /contact.
