Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I submit an enquiry to Cavass?
The how does Cavass work process depends on the services you need and the stage of your project. Typically, you can start by assessing your builder or contractor through relevant verification and credit checks. Once you are comfortable proceeding, the appropriate agreements can be put in place to establish clear terms for the project. If finance is required, Cavass can also help introduce or match you with relevant finance options where appropriate. As your project progresses, additional support may be available if circumstances change or a dispute arises, including mediation where suitable.
How long does the whole process take from enquiry to protected build?
The timeframe depends on which Cavass services you choose and how quickly the required information is provided. Credit check reports can typically be available within minutes, while relevant bridging finance matches may be available within 24 hours. The contractor vetting process and putting agreements in place can vary depending on the checks required, the information available, and the circumstances of your project. Cavass can advise you on the expected timeframe for your specific requirements.
Do I have to use all of Cavass's services, or can I pick one?
You can choose the Cavass services that are relevant to your project. You do not have to use every service. Individual documents, agreements, and checks can be purchased separately through the Agreements section, allowing you to select the protection you need. For example, if you are researching how to vet a builder in the UK, you can choose the relevant builder verification or credit check service without purchasing a complete Care Pack.
What information do I need to get started with Cavass?
The information required depends on the service you are interested in. You may need to provide details about your building project, builder or contractor, or the type of protection you are looking for. For services involving builder verification or credit checks, relevant information about the contractor may be required. If you are unsure what you need to provide, contact Cavass and the team can explain the next steps for your specific enquiry.
