Wediate: The impartial third party to small construction projects.
Overview
Wediate is a specialist escrow provider, designed to address the critical payment issues
prevalent in the small-scale construction sector. With a focus on supporting works under $1
million, Wediate offers a seamless and secure solution to ensure that contractors,
subcontractors, and property owners experience transparent, timely, and dispute-free
transactions. Our mission is to foster trust and reliability in the construction industry,
eliminating financial uncertainties and promoting smooth project completion.
The Construction Payment Challenge
The construction industry, particularly at the smaller scale, often grapples with significant
payment-related challenges. Delayed payments, disputes over project milestones, and
financial mistrust between parties can lead to project delays, increased costs, and in some
cases, project abandonment.
Our Solution:
Wediate addresses these challenges head-on by providing a robust escrow and superintendent
service. The platform acts as a neutral facility where contractors and clients can implement
professional and clear work agreements. Wediate claim, hold and disburse funds based on
predefined milestones, ensuring that all parties adhere to the agreed contract.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Secure Transactions: Funds are securely held in a segregated escrow account,
ensuring that payments are only released when specific project milestones are
achieved and verified by both parties. This eliminates the risk of non-payment and
provides financial assurance to contractors and subcontractors.
2. Transparency and Accountability: With Wediate’s contract tool, every transaction
is transparent, meaning parties agree upfront on the scope of work, cost of work and
timeframes. If variations are made, these can be agreed upon and logged on the spot,
ensuring both parties are protected.
3. Dispute Resolution: In the event of a disagreement, Wediate provides a structured
dispute resolution process. Firstly, acting as an intermediary giving both parties the
channel to communicate elevating difficult conversations. Secondly, our panel of
construction and legal professionals can swiftly and fairly review disputes to resolve
issues, ensuring that the project can proceed without significant delays.
4. Cost-Effective: By minimising the risk of payment disputes and project delays,
Wediate helps save time and money for all parties involved. Our competitive pricing
model ensures that the benefits far outweigh the costs, making it an attractive option
for small-scale projects.
Our service is perfect for:?
- Contractors: Who want to guarantee timely payments and remove the risk of non-payment.
- Subcontractors: Who need a reliable and transparent payment process to ensure they
are compensated for their hard work.
- Property Owners: Who seek to ensure that their builders are held accountable for
their agreement and workmanship.
