The Situation
Lisa wanted to install a custom outdoor deck and pergola. The builder she chose asked for a 50% deposit upfront to lock in materials and schedule.
The Problem
Lisa had heard horror stories of contractors doing a poor job after taking deposits. She wanted to move forward, but not without protection.
The Solution
Lisa suggested using a Wediate Holding Account. The builder submitted their quote with payment instructions and Wediate was copied into the approval thread.

Ensuring the safety of your money is our top priority. We've taken proactive steps to protect your investment, including securing appropriate cyber insurance policies.
Absolutely! Simply attach your own contract or terms of service to either the Job Booker or Pro Registration form and submit it to your client for approval and signature.
When you create a login, you gain unlimited access to our Minor Works Construction Contract, along with other free-to-use contracts, templates, and forms.
We release payment to you when:
A. A deposit milestone is selected in the Project Registration form. This payment is released to you on the commencement date specified by you.
B. You send an invoice or payment claim to your client via our platform, and the client either approves the invoice or it exceeds its due date without action.
C. For retention payments, when the defects liability period ends, and no claim is made against you for the remaining funds.
Using our service provides extra protection for your client. If you don't fulfil your duties under the contract, your client can pause fund release by raising a dispute on the platform. Clients who prefer not to use our service may want control over you and your money. Direct your client to the client page on our website: https://www.wediate.com.au/client, or have them call our team for reassurance.
Either the contractor or client may cover the cost of the fee; If the client has opted to pay the fee, the contractor should add said fee to the first milestone of the project. If the contractor has opted to cover the fee this will be deducted from the first milestone of said project.
Our tiered pricing ensures even the smallest jobs are protected. For example, our Job Booker service has a flat 3% transaction fee, meaning a $400 job incurs a $12 fee.
