Quick Answer

An escrow payment in construction means your money is held by a trusted third party (like Biddaro) and only released to the contractor when you confirm a milestone is completed satisfactorily. This eliminates the risk of contractors taking advance payments and disappearing.

How Biddaro Escrow Works — Step by Step

1
CLIENT deposits project funds into Biddaro's secure escrow account at the start of the project.
2
CONTRACTOR starts work knowing the funds are secured and will be released on milestone completion.
3
MILESTONE COMPLETED — Contractor requests milestone payment.
4
CLIENT INSPECTION — You inspect the completed work within 48 hours.
5
RELEASE or DISPUTE — If satisfied, you release payment instantly. If not, raise a dispute — Biddaro's team mediates.
6
PROJECT COMPLETE — Final payment released after snagging period. Both parties protected throughout.
