Solutions · Construction
Stop financing the project with your own cash while you wait for sign-off.
Contractors and developers: release against inspected, verified milestones — not on faith and not after a 90-day delay.
The friction today
Cash tied up waiting for milestone sign-off.
Disputes over whether a stage was actually completed.
Retention held with no transparent release trigger.
How Pontis resolves it
Conditions most used here: Accredited verifier · Document hash.
Inspector attestation
An accredited verifier attests the stage is complete; the milestone releases.
Document-hash proof
A signed completion certificate matching an agreed hash releases funds.
Transparent retention
Retention releases on a clear, audited condition — not a phone call.
A worked example
Staged build, inspector-verified
A developer funds staged escrow. Each stage releases when an accredited inspector attests completion — captured as a signed attestation in the audit chain.
