Simple for everyone.
Secure by design.

Whether you're hiring or doing the work, BuiltInTrust makes every renovation payment transparent, protected, and fair.

Step 01

Agree on milestones

You and your contractor agree on project milestones and payment amounts using our simple template. No lawyers needed.

Step 02

Deposit into escrow

Send your deposit to BuiltInTrust's secure trust account. Your contractor gets instant confirmation the funds exist — without touching them yet.

Step 03

Work gets done

Your contractor completes each milestone. You review, approve, and release the corresponding payment — all from your phone.

Step 04

Project complete

Once all milestones are approved, the final payment releases. Dispute? We mediate fairly — no courts, no stress.

Built for both sides
of every project.

Security you can
actually feel.

We've built every layer of BuiltInTrust around one idea — no one should lose money on a home renovation.

Licensed Trust Account

Funds are held in a FSRA-compliant trust account — not our operating account. Your money is always ring-fenced and protected.

Milestone-Gated Payments

Money only moves when you say so. Each milestone release requires your explicit approval — there are no automatic transfers.

Fair Dispute Resolution

If there's a disagreement, our neutral mediation team steps in — not courts, not lawyers. Fast, fair, and human.
