More building.

The admin is eating your nights

Residential builders lose nights and weekends to paperwork — variations, progress claims, sub compliance, TPAR. And when payments do come, they arrive late. Sabeam takes the admin off your desk.

15+ hrs

a week on admin instead of building

Variations, claims, sub paperwork, TPAR. Most of it should be drafted for you.

82%

of contractors face payment delays past 30 days

Cash flow is the number one killer of construction businesses in Australia.

$3.1B

lost to construction insolvencies annually

Late payments, missing paperwork, and disputes that should never reach lawyers.

Sabeam takes it off your desk.

Capture once, drafted for you, approved with a swipe — and optionally paid through funded escrow.

Premium module

Secure payments

Add funded milestone escrow to any project. Money is held in a segregated trust structure and released the moment a milestone is approved.

How secure payments work

Three steps. No new software to learn. No complicated processes.

01

Set up your project

Builder creates the project, defines milestones and payment amounts, then invites the homeowner. Takes five minutes.

02

Funds are secured

Homeowner deposits funds into a segregated Australian trust structure. Money is held securely — visible to both parties, accessible to neither until work is verified.

03

Complete and get paid

Builder completes a milestone, homeowner reviews and approves. Funds release instantly via NPP — directly to the builder's bank account. Same day.

For Builders & Contractors

Get paid in hours,
not months

Stop chasing payments. With Sabeam, funds are already secured before you pick up a tool. Complete a milestone, get approved, and the money hits your bank account the same day.

Instant NPP payments

Milestone approved? Funds land in your account within hours via Australia's New Payments Platform.

Clear milestones

Define exactly what work each payment covers. No ambiguity, no arguments, no scope disputes.

Xero integration

Payments auto-reconcile in your accounting software. Your bookkeeper will thank you.

Guaranteed funds

Money is held in trust before work begins. No more wondering if the client can actually pay.

Segregated trust structure

Your money is held in a segregated Australian trust structure — not by the builder, not by Sabeam.

Full visibility

See your escrow balance, milestone progress, and every transaction — anytime, from any device.

You approve every release

No money moves without your sign-off. Review milestone completion evidence, then approve or raise a dispute.

Dispute protection

Not happy with the work? Raise a dispute with one click and funds are frozen until it's resolved.

For Homeowners

Your money is safe
until the work is done

Building a home is the biggest investment most Australians will ever make. Sabeam makes sure every dollar is protected in a segregated trust structure and only released when you're satisfied with the work.

Not your grandfather's escrow

Traditional escrow is slow, expensive, and opaque. Sabeam is none of those things.

Built for trust. Built for regulation.

Sabeam's escrow architecture is designed to operate within Australia's financial services and construction trust account frameworks.

Segregated trust structure

Funds are held in a segregated Australian trust structure, not by Sabeam. The architecture is designed to operate through a licensed Australian payments partner.

AML/CTF Aligned

Sabeam’s AML/CTF program is built to AUSTRAC Tranche 2 standards (effective 1 July 2026). KYC via Australian DVS-integrated identity verification.

Bank-Grade Security

256-bit encryption, multi-factor authentication, and fraud detection on every transaction. Your data is as secure as your bank's.

Complete Audit Trail

Every deposit, approval, and release is recorded with timestamps, amounts, and parties. Full transparency, always.

Sabeam's escrow structure is designed to align with Queensland BIF Act Project Trust Account requirements.

For Construction Platforms

Embed escrow into your platform

Add milestone-based escrow to your construction software with our REST APIs. White-label UI, real-time webhooks, and a revenue share on every transaction.
