Defects Registry

Before you sign, check the record.

Every designer on the registry has a public grade for one thing: whether the defects on their projects get fixed.

There is no list to browse. Search by name — nobody can pay to be on top.

Start here

Two ways in.

Homeowners are protected and never pay. Businesses pay for the tools — never for the grade.

I’m a homeowner

Free, always. Log defects at key collection and after your renovation, with photo proof for every fix.

I’m a firm, designer or checker

Get listed, get graded, and get the tools — per-scope checklists, printable evidence records, and a sign-off record that protects you.

The problem

The last 5%.

Most renovations end the same way: with a list.

The job finishes, the defect list is agreed, and then it goes quiet. Nobody counts what happens next. There’s no complaint worth filing over one chipped door, which is exactly why nobody built for it.

How it works

Two moments that matter.

The same tool, twice — once for the handover from the builder, once after the renovation.

Key collection.

Your new home has defects. Log them before renovation starts — the clock on your defects liability period is already running.

After renovation.

Log what your designer left behind. They have to send back a photo of every single fix.

The record stays yours.

Both lists, timestamped, in one place — so nobody can argue about what was there before.

The method

Why the grade is worth trusting.

We don’t ask you what you thought. We count what they did.

The evidence is the firm’s own

The grade is computed from evidence the firm submits itself — the proof photo is uploaded by the firm, the acknowledgement timestamp is the firm’s own action. There’s no sentiment to inflate.

The only way to improve it is to do the work

Same formula for every firm, published in full — the weights, the bands, and the handicap that stops one soured relationship in twenty from sinking a good firm.

Independence

What we refuse to sell.

These are the refusals the business model is built on. They are cheap to say and expensive to fake, so we say them everywhere.

  • We never sell leads.
  • We never sell placement, ranking or a “featured” slot.
  • We never take a percentage of your renovation contract.
  • Homeowners never pay us anything, ever.
  • There is no list to browse, because there is no top to sell.
