The renovation you want — without the risk and hassle.
Foreman is the independent expert on your renovation. We check every trade's work against the National Construction Code and only release payment once it's right. You get the renovation you were promised — without managing any of it.
Why Foreman?
The quality is all in what you can't see
Footings, framing, wiring, plumbing, waterproofing — the work that decides whether it lasts gets covered up. If it's wrong, it shows up years later as leaks or cracks, and fixing it means ripping out finished work at many times the cost. Foreman checks each stage before it's covered, so problems are caught while they're cheap to fix.
A warranty you can't actually claim
Trade warranties usually last only a few years — far less time than you'll own the home — and product guarantees only hold if the work was installed to the maker's specification. Foreman records every stage, giving you the proof to claim and a record that stays with the home.
Don't pay before you know it's right
Today, stage payments go out long before anyone knows the work was done properly — and by the time you find out, the money's spent. With Foreman, you only pay once each stage has been checked and passed.
Work verified.
Before payment.
A clear check of each agreed stage, backed by evidence you can see.
- Evidence captured at the right timePhotos and measurements record the work as it happens — including the stages that get covered up.
- Checked against the requirementsEach agreed stage is reviewed against the National Construction Code, the relevant Australian Standards and the product maker's installation instructions. You see what was checked, what passed and what needs attention.
- Disputes managed by ForemanIf something falls short, we raise it with your trade and manage it through to a fix. You never have to step in or argue it out.
- Payment released once verifiedWhen the stage passes, your trade is paid. Until then, your money stays on hold.
You keep the relationship.
We handle the hard conversations.
If something isn't right, you never have to be the one to raise it. We take it up with your trade, bring the evidence, manage the back-and-forth and see it through to a fix. No awkward conversations, no arguments on site, no stress — and you stay on good terms with the people working in your home.
- 01We raise the issue clearlyYour trade receives the photos, the relevant requirement and a clear explanation of what needs attention.
- 02We follow up with your tradeQuestions, responses and agreed next steps stay together. You can see what's happening without chasing every update.
- 03We check the fixUpdated evidence is reviewed before the stage is approved for payment. You keep the record of the issue and its resolution.
If there's a disagreement, we help both sides work through the evidence and document the next steps.
Home improvement the smart way
Funds are held safely and released only once each stage is complete and correct.
We visit site and inspect each stage for you, then send photos and notes — you stay across every detail without taking a day off.
If something goes wrong, we step in with the evidence and sort it out — no arguments.
How Foreman works
Your trade sets the plan
They break the job into stages the way they'd work it anyway, and name the products they're using. We turn that into a checklist from the standards behind it — and you both sign it off before anyone starts.
LOGGED
Evidence captured against the standard
Each check names what it needs before the trade starts — the membrane height, the fall, the film thickness. What gets logged on site is proof against AS 3740 and the product's own datasheet, not just a photo.
We do the checking
Every check is a number against a limit — the turn-up height, the dry film thickness, the cure time before a flood test. Measured against AS 3740 and the membrane maker's own datasheet.
You review, payment moves
A short summary lands in your inbox: passed, queried, what happens next. One tap to release the stage payment.
Built with good trades, not against them
The trades we've spoken to are tired of being lumped in with cowboys, chased for snags they didn't cause, and paid sixty days late. Foreman is a record of work done properly — and a faster route to getting paid for it.
- Stage payments released the day the work passes — not when the homeowner gets round to it.
- A standards-backed record that settles snag disputes before they turn into arguments.
- Evidence logged from your phone in minutes, not an evening of paperwork.
- A verified track record that wins you the jobs price-only competitors can't.
“Winning work used to mean talking people into trusting me. Now the quality is guaranteed and the risk is off the table, so the quote sells itself. I spend my time building, not convincing.”
