Testimonials

I will never do a project without using ClearVault again. During a remodel, we discovered plumbing and electrical issues that didn't match the plans, which forced a significant change order for the client. ClearVault helped mediate, we got paid, and the client was reassured by having a third party verify the changes and work.

William Gold · Owner, Artyx Construction

ClearVault was incredibly easy to use. Everything was laid out clearly, so I always knew what was happening and what came next. Approving payments only took a few clicks, and I loved knowing the money was only released after the work was completed. It made the entire project feel simple, organized, and stress-free.

Answers to common questions

Get clear, direct answers about payments, dispute resolution, and platform use. For more details, contact our support team.

How does the platform prevent payment disputes?

Our system holds funds in escrow and only releases payments when project milestones are independently verified. This ensures all parties are protected and payments are tied to actual progress.

What types of projects are supported?

The platform is designed for all construction projects, from small renovations to large-scale developments. It supports contractors, owners, lenders, and investors seeking secure, transparent workflows.

How are inspections managed?

Independent third-party inspectors are dispatched at each milestone. Their verification is required before any payment is released, ensuring quality and accountability throughout the project.

What happens if a dispute arises?

If an issue occurs, our built-in mediation tools and documentation allow for rapid resolution. Most disputes are resolved within hours, minimizing delays and legal costs.

Is the platform secure for handling funds?

All funds are managed through a secure escrow system. Transactions are transparent, auditable, and protected by industry-standard security protocols.

How does the platform charge for its services?

There are no upfront subscription fees. A 2.5% fee is applied to project funds processed through the platform, aligning our success with your project's outcomes.
