How it works

Three steps. No paperwork.

  1. 1

    Tell us your trade

    Trade, postcode, mobile. That is all.

  2. 2

    We text you a job

    Work near your home. You say yes or no.

  3. 3

    Work and get paid

    Check in on site. Your invoice is made for you.

Twenty seconds, no sound

A day on site.

From walking on site to the money landing. Watch it, or read the four steps under it.

  1. Tap in when you get there. GPS confirms you are on site.
  2. Your hours log themselves. Nothing to write down.
  3. Your hours become the invoice, built from what you worked.
  4. See exactly when you get paid.
Two films, no sound

What it looks like on your phone.

One is how your record gets you booked. One is how your hours get you paid. Tap either, or read them underneath.

Proof gets you booked.

  1. A job goes round a group chat. Someone half-remembers who did what.
  2. Your record answers it: days verified, sites worked, hours disputed.
  3. Every site on it is signed off. Not what you told them — what you actually did.
  4. You share the record. You get booked.

Tap in. Tap out. Get paid.

  1. Friday. The boss has you down for fewer hours than you worked.
  2. So you tap in. The clock runs, and the site is verified.
  3. Your day goes on record: hours, location, photos, signed off.
  4. The invoice builds itself from your hours. You send it, and you can see where the money is.

Example records and figures, to show the screens. Yours are your own.

Vladimir Castravet, who founded VORDO
Who built this

The man who built this started on the tools.

Vladimir was a tradesman before he ran a construction company. The reason you are never charged is that he remembers being on the other side of it.

Hear it from him
Your protection

Check in. That is your proof.

He says four days. You know it was five. Without proof, he wins.

One tap when you arrive. One tap when you leave.

The time and the place are saved. Not your memory.

The company sees the same hours as you.

Questions

How much does it cost me?

Joining is free. Finding work is free. Logging your hours and getting your invoice are free. There is no fee when you get a job, and no commission out of your day rate. Later we will sell paid extras, like deeper reporting. Those are extras, and you choose them.

Do you take money from my day rate?

No. The company pays our fee on top of your rate. If you agree £220 a day, you invoice £220 a day.

Am I employed by VORDO?

No. You stay self-employed. Your CIS and your tax stay the same. We only keep the record of your work.

Do I have to stop my other work?

No. Take the jobs you want. Say no to the rest. There is no minimum.

Do I need a CSCS card?

Most sites ask for one. Add it when you join and we send it with you.

What if the company does not pay me?

Your hours are saved with the time and the place. That is proof. It does not force a company to pay, but you can show exactly what you worked.

What if there is no work near me yet?

Then we tell you, and you stay registered for nothing. We are early. Work is thickest in the cities listed above, and bricklayers are what we place first. You will not get texts about jobs two hours away, and you are never charged for waiting.

Who is behind VORDO?

Vladimir Castravet. He was a tradesman before he ran a construction company, and he still runs one. He built this because he could not buy it. That is why the company pays and you do not.

What do you do with my number?

We text you about work near your postcode. That is all. We never sell it, and you can stop the texts at any time by replying STOP.
