How to grow your payments app with demolition contractors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Demolition contractors take down garages, sheds, outbuildings, old extensions and shop interiors so building work can start. Many also sort and remove the waste. Jobs usually start with a deposit to book the crew and machines, with the rest paid when the site is cleared. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win demolition contractors, and every homeowner, builder and business that pays them sees your app.
Talk to demolition contractors
Ask local demolition contractors:
- Do you take a deposit to book the job?
- How do customers pay the rest when the site is cleared?
- Do builders or homeowners usually pay you?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the contractor can book the crew, machines and skips.
Get paid when the site is clear
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once the site is cleared, so the contractor isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through building trades
Demolition contractors work alongside builders, asbestos surveyors and skip hire firms. When those businesses take payments through your app, each contractor can bring more of them onto it.
