Our take
Large construction projects take a long time to finish, and subcontractors can get caught up in the flow of money, waiting up to 80 days to be paid by general contractors. Such situations not only lead to project delays but also impose the burden of financing their project segments onto subcontractors. However, Constrafor has set out to change this through its SaaS construction procurement platform.
The platform streamlines information and documentation for how general contractors work with subcontractors, and assumes the risk for the subcontractor invoice - freeing up cash flow. The general contractor then reimburses Constrafor for the invoice, with the company making its money by taking in about 2% of the value of the invoice.
Its a valuable offering, and Constrafor finds itself in substantial demand, standing out for offering tailored solutions that are designed and developed on behalf of these companies. With good funding at its back, the company can continue elevating its operations as it continues to support pivotal aspects of the construction process.
