Long jobs shouldn't leave you carrying huge amounts owed. wlbr lets you stage a build into escrow-backed milestones - each one funded before work starts and released the moment it's approved.
Deposit, rough-in, completion - fund each stage into escrow before the work starts and release it on sign-off. Cash flow stays steady across the whole build.
Clients happily fund large deposits when the money's held on trust rather than handed over - so you can order materials without carrying the risk alone.
You're never exposed for the entire job value at once, which limits the damage if anything goes wrong.
Each milestone has a clean record of what was funded and released - simple for you, the client, and your accountant.

Released
Balance paid to the provider's bank
If something goes wrong: either side can raise a dispute. The funds freeze in the trust account - neither side can touch them - while both add evidence. Resolution releases, refunds, or splits the money. Unresolved disputes can escalate to FSCL, an approved independent scheme.
