For homeowners
Stage-by-stage payment clarity for the work you're commissioning.
Assurr gives you a clear picture of where your project stands, what evidence has been logged, and what is approved, without making your builder feel watched.
Building work is stressful, but the stress is rarely about the building.
Most issues come from missing context: unclear scope, unrecorded changes, late conversations. Assurr keeps the structure visible so neither side has to guess.
Scope drift
Small changes accumulate into uncomfortable conversations. A clear scope per milestone keeps both sides aligned.
Hidden progress
Without an evidence record, you rely on memory and goodwill. Photos, certificates, and signoffs make progress visible.
Late questions
Concerns raised at handover are harder to resolve. The query process keeps the conversation timely and in writing.
What you do at each milestone.
A short, predictable rhythm, even on a long project.
- 01
Agree the milestone
Confirm the scope and amount before the stage begins.
- 02
Watch the evidence build
Photos, certificates, and signoffs appear in your evidence record as the work progresses.
- 03
Review and approve
When the milestone is complete, you confirm before payment moves.
- 04
Raise a query if needed
If something doesn't look right, the query process keeps it timely and in writing.
What you get as a homeowner.
Plain-English milestones
Each stage is described in everyday language. No jargon, no opaque schedules.
Evidence record
A running record of what's been done, by whom, and when, in one place.
Approval that matters
Releasing a milestone is a deliberate step, not a reflex. The structure protects you from rushing.
Query process
Concerns are logged, time-bound, and written down, so nothing depends on a chat at the door.
Inviting your builder in
Assurr is built to be used together. Your contractor sees the same evidence and approvals you do.
Project summary you can share
A clean record you can show your architect, surveyor, or lender.
What's on the record, and what isn't.
Scope
What the work covers, and the standard it's judged against. Referenced, not invented, from four layers: Building Regulations as the legal floor that applies to every project; relevant British Standards (such as BS 8000 for workmanship); manufacturer specifications for products and materials; and the project-specific drawings and contract clauses you and your contractor have agreed.
Standards scale with the project. A kitchen refit in a 3-bed semi sits at one end of the spectrum; a heritage refurbishment sits at the other. The bar above the floor is set by what you contract for. The floor itself doesn't move.
Evidence
What shows the work was done. Photos, certificates, invoices, signoff documents, third-party verification where it exists. Logged stage by stage as work progresses.
Quality
Whether the work meets the agreed standard. Customers raise queries when they don't think it has. Resolution references the original scope. Assurr does not adjudicate.
Evidence in practice
Certificates
Building control sign-off, electrical certificates, gas safe records, structural calculations.
