FAQ

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Does an ID badge guarantee the work?

No. It records a completed identity check. Review the contractor’s experience, work photos and proposed scope when deciding who fits your project.

What if the work needs changes?

Describe the changes when you review the stage photos. Your coordinator follows up with the contractor, and the stage stays open until you approve it.

What happens if I miss a review?

The stage waits for you. Stages are never approved automatically, and your coordinator follows up so the work doesn’t stall.

How are payments handled?

Payments are recorded manually by your coordinator against each stage, so you can see what has been paid and what is still due.
