Trust built into every transaction.

BuildLedger is designed for transparency and accountability at every stage of your construction project.

✅Contractor Verification

Every contractor on BuildLedger goes through a verification process:

  • Identity verification (government ID)
  • Business verification (EIN, entity)
  • License verification (state/local)
  • Insurance verification (COI)
  • Background check readiness

Verification badges are displayed publicly on contractor profiles and in bid comparison views.

💳Secure Payments

All payments flow through Stripe, the same platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.

  • • Milestone-based payment schedules prevent overpayment
  • • Invoices are tied to specific work completed
  • • Change orders require explicit approval before affecting the ledger
  • • Automatic receipts for every transaction
  • • Contractor payouts via Stripe Connect

📝No Work Without Approval

BuildLedger enforces a strict approval workflow. Change orders cannot proceed until the homeowner reviews and approves the scope change, cost delta, and timeline impact. This creates a clear audit trail that protects both parties from “he said / she said” disputes.

⚖️Dispute Resolution

If a disagreement arises, either party can open a formal dispute. BuildLedger automatically compiles the project timeline, approvals, change orders, and communications as evidence.

  • • Categorized dispute types
  • • Evidence upload for both parties
  • • Admin mediation available
  • • Resolution notes become part of the permanent record
