Shortlist vetted contractors liked by architects

Frequently asked questions

• What’s new since I last used Weaver?

  

  We took 6 months out to rethink how we could do things better. Contractors are now vetted on their individual past projects, so we obtain a reference & confirmed images for each piece of work they’ve completed. We've listened to architects like you and made the platform so much more intuitive.  Finally, we've changed our business model so we don't charge contractors a success fee, but a monthly subscription for ready-to-go tenders.

• How many quotes can my project expect?

  

  Having helped over 1,800 projects so far (most architect-led), we’ve learnt that getting your client 3 quotes from quality contractors is the magic number. One quote just doesn’t give you a price comparison. Too many though, and the best quality contractors drop out to avoid a messy bidding scenario.

• What is Weaver?

  

  Weaver is a platform that matches projects between £50k and £1.5m to main contractors mostly used by other architects. We verify each builder’s company information and call up their prior work references (you can read more on how we vet here) so you can be sure that they are the real deal.

• What kind of projects do you service?

  

  Projects usually come to us with sufficiently detailed information that allows a contractor to price accurately. To get your client a good market price, we recommend that your documents include detailed technical drawings, a schedule of work and structural engineering calculations.

• Who is Weaver?

  

  Weaver is a venture-backed startup whose purpose is to celebrate the work of quality renovation contractors and inspire them to grow a super successful business. We do this by continuously evolving an easy-to-use platform that enables such builders to find projects that are ready to start on site. Read more here about Weaver's story & founders.
