Customer verification for construction & subcontracting

Verifento is a shared customer verification network: before the contract is signed you check the customer against a common database of documented incidents, and within two seconds you know whether anyone in the industry has reported them. For construction & subcontracting the network knows 16 incident types, and typical damage in this industry falls in the 2 000 – 200 000 € range.

What happens most often in this industry

This list is not invented – these are the categories a company in this segment actually picks when reporting an incident. Each one shows the damage range companies report.

  • Missing the completion deadline5 000 – 100 000 €
    The subcontractor repeatedly pushes back the handover date without objective reasons, causing penalties for the main contractor toward the investor.
  • Substandard workmanship5 000 – 80 000 €
    The subcontractor handed over the work with latent defects – poorly fitted windows, cracks in the concrete or a leaking roof discovered only after the first rain.
  • Non-payment of a subcontract invoice10 000 – 200 000 €
    The general contractor accepted the finished work but did not pay the subcontractor's invoice for materials and labor, citing a claim from the investor.
  • Billing for work not performed5 000 – 50 000 €
    The subcontractor billed for work that was not actually performed or was done to a lesser extent than the bill of quantities states.
  • Use of substandard materials3 000 – 60 000 €
    Without approval, the subcontractor replaced the specified material with a cheaper alternative – for example thinner insulation or low-grade concrete.
  • Damage to existing structures5 000 – 100 000 €
    During demolition or construction work the subcontractor damaged load-bearing walls, utility lines or the neighboring property without reporting it.
  • Falsifying certificates and licences0 + právne €
    The company presented invalid or forged certificates (e.g. ISO, welding licences), endangering the safety of the construction.
  • Abandoning the site without finishing10 000 – 100 000 €
    The subcontractor abandoned the unfinished project without warning and stopped communicating. The main contractor must urgently find a replacement.

What a company has to document

Without evidence a record cannot be created – that is the difference between a documented incident and defamation. In this industry the system offers these types of evidence:

  • Contract / order – Contract or order number
  • Signed handover protocol – Signed handover/return protocol
  • Photo documentation – Photos of the condition at handover and return
  • Damage assessment – Damage assessment by a workshop/insurer
  • Unpaid invoice – Invoice number and due date
  • Internal record – Reference in the company's internal system
  • Witness statement – Written statement by an employee/witness
  • Court decision – Court decision number

How it works

You enter a phone number, e-mail or ID number. The system turns the value into an irreversible cryptographic fingerprint, matches it against the shared database and returns a traffic-light colour together with how many companies and what kinds of cases stand behind it. You never see other companies’ records, and no names or contact details are in the database at all. The decision to rent stays with you – the system does not make it for you.

Why a network, not an internal list

Your list protects only you. A customer who has never been to you is invisible to it – the network sees them, because someone has already reported them. The value grows with every company that joins: the denser the network in an industry, the sooner a problem is caught.
