Groundworkers prepare the ground before anything is built. They dig and pour foundations, lay drains, build concrete bases for garden rooms and sheds, and level sites for driveways and extensions. Jobs often start with a deposit so the groundworker can book machines and order concrete and stone, with stage payments as each part is finished. A payments app that handles deposits and stage payments can win groundworkers, and every builder and homeowner that pays them sees your app.

Get paid at each stage
A link sent as each stage is finished, such as foundations or drainage, lets the customer pay straight away, so the groundworker isn't waiting weeks for money.
Grow through building trades
Groundworkers work alongside builders, plant hire firms and skip hire firms. When those businesses take payments through your app, each groundworker can bring more of them onto it.
