What is it?

ContractorClear™ is a risk-intelligence and verification platform that protects homeowners, general contractors, lenders, and insurers from the legal and financial consequences of hiring unlicensed or uninsured contractors. The platform aggregates fragmented licensing, insurance, bonding, and violation data from across U.S. states and delivers it through a unified contractor risk report and score.

Why we built it.

The product was conceived under the BuildWell Industries (BWI) Charter to solve a painful, urgent, and expensive problem with minimal regulatory overhead and high defensibility via data aggregation. ContractorClear™ aims to reduce project risk, fraud, and legal exposure at the pre-hire stage—before liens, delays, or litigation occur.

Verify before you hire.

ContractorClear™ saves you from liability, lost payments, and shady operators.

• For homeowners: Protects against hiring unlicensed or underinsured contractors (which in some states makes them ineligible to collect payment or exposes the homeowner to lawsuits).

• For GCs and lenders: Enables faster subcontractor vetting and reduces insurance risk.

• For realtors/title companies: Adds value at closing by ensuring all contractors meet licensing and insurance thresholds.

"Homeowners who hire unlicensed contractors can be sued—and may lose every dollar paid."

In California and several other states, contractors without proper licenses cannot legally collect payment, and homeowners may sue to recover all payments.

"Hiring a contractor without verification is like skipping a background check before hiring a babysitter."

ContractorClear™ costs less than 1% of the average fraud loss—and delivers peace of mind before any money changes hands.
