How it works

How PontBat works

Two offers — secure matchmaking and full project management — and one single trust mechanism: your money in escrow, released milestone by milestone, against verified proof.

No upfront payments. Every dinar is traced: expense ↔ invoice ↔ milestone ↔ photo.

The two offers

Stay in control… or hand it all over to us

Two products in one. Either way: verified professionals, escrowed payments, an inspected site.

🤝

Secure matchmaking

You drive: publish your project, compare standardised quotes, choose your professional.

  • Verified professionals (licence, social security, insurance) rated by real clients
  • Standardised quotes, comparable line by line
  • Payment through simple escrow — never hand to hand
  • Light follow-up and mutual rating after the works

Start with matchmaking

The diaspora signature offer

Full project management

You delegate: a PontBat project manager runs everything, and you approve every step from your phone.

  • Specifications drafted with you, tendering across the network
  • Bank performance bond required from the contractor
  • Materials purchased at the network's negotiated prices
  • Weekly reporting: geolocated photos, progress, expenses

Discover full management

Your money, under lock

Escrow in 4 locks

You pay into a dedicated escrow account — never the contractor. A milestone payment is only released once all four locks are cleared, in order:

1

Physical milestone reached

Time-stamped, geolocated photos taken through the app, with a progress report.

2

Expert inspection

Compliance visit by a PontBat expert or a partner architect, backed by a checklist.

3

Client approval

You approve in one tap in the app, wherever you are in the world.

4

Invoices reconciled

Every dinar is linked to its invoice and its milestone before funds are released.

On top of that: a bank performance bond posted by the contractor before work starts, and a 5–10% retention released only at final acceptance.

The journey

The journey in 8 steps

From the first video call to your keys — every step leaves a trace in the app.

Step 1

Scoping & land verification

Scoping call, budget, and legal verification of the land (title deed, building permit) — a blocking checkpoint before any commitment.

Step 2

Specifications

Drafted together: material grades, areas, deadlines — signed electronically.

Step 3

3D design

Call for proposals to design offices: plans + 3D modelling. You choose.

Step 4

Tendering

Published to the network, standardised offers comparable line by line, shortlist and selection with you.

Step 5

Contract & bond

Three-party contract client / contractor / platform, performance bond, milestone schedule and delay penalties.

Step 6

Inspected execution

Budget in escrow, network purchases, weekly photo + expense reporting. Every change order goes through the app — never “we'll sort it out”.

Step 7

Acceptance

Joint provisional acceptance, defect resolution, then final acceptance: retention released and the as-built file handed over.

Step 8

After-sales

Warranty period, furnishing via the marketplace — and tomorrow, rental management and concierge services.

For professionals

For professionals too

The same mechanism that protects the client guarantees the professional: a project through the platform is a project that gets paid.

🛡️

Zero unpaid invoices

The client's budget is already ring-fenced in escrow before work starts: every approved milestone is a paid milestone, without chasing the client.

Payment within 48 h

As soon as the four locks are cleared, the transfer goes out within 48 h — and the statement reconciles every payment with its milestone and invoice.
