About us

A company built on trust, entirely at the service of project owners.

Our mission fits in one sentence: put everything at the disposal of those who build — the professionals, the materials, the furniture, the site inspections and the safety of the money. PontBat is not one more listing site: it is the trusted third party that was missing between the diaspora and the building site.

“Ebnili b'Thiqa” — build it for me, with trust.

Where PontBat comes from

Born from a drama the whole diaspora knows

About 1.5 million Tunisians live abroad. Many dream of building back home — and far too often, that dream ends badly. Three scenarios, always the same:

💔

Money entrusted to the family

Expenses without invoices, sums diverted “in good faith”, works without control. In the end: savings lost — and families broken over building-site stories.

🏚️

Advances paid to a developer

Specifications ignored, cut-rate materials, endless delays. From 2,000 km away, with no leverage, the client sees nothing and can do nothing.

✈️

Vacations turned into a building site

Managing it yourself, remotely: sacrificed leave, costly trips back, blind decisions over the phone. No rest, no family time — and a disappointing result.

The real problem is neither a lack of craftsmen nor a lack of money: it is that no mechanism protects the client's money or guarantees the quality of the works. PontBat was born to be that mechanism.

Our conviction

Trust is not a promise. It is a mechanism.

You do not fix mistrust with slogans. You fix it with concrete, contractual, verifiable devices — the four pillars PontBat is built on:

  • 1Escrow — the money is ring-fenced and nothing is paid upfront: every payment requires a milestone reached, an inspection, your approval and reconciled invoices
  • 2Verification — business licence, social security, insurance, references: no professional appears on the platform without being verified
  • 3Inspection — every milestone is checked on site by an independent expert, never paid by the company being inspected
  • 4Traceability — time-stamped, geolocated photos, every dinar linked to its invoice and milestone, tamper-proof audit log

These mechanisms are detailed, proof by proof, on our guarantees page.

Our ambition

Tunisia first, then the Maghreb diaspora

PontBat is designed multi-country, multi-currency and multilingual from day one: adding a country or a language is a configuration, not a rewrite.

Today

Tunisia, the pilot country

First professionals verified by hand, first pilot projects under full management in Greater Tunis. Five real diaspora stories served impeccably are worth more than any promise.

Next

The Maghreb diaspora

Expansion to Tunisia's main cities, additional languages for the diaspora in Italy and Germany, then preparation of Morocco and Algeria — same trust mechanism, new countries.

Tomorrow

The complete ecosystem

The junction with our sister project for participatory financing: I fund, I build, I rent or I sell — the full chain of trusted real estate, in one place.
