Everything VIP Partners Get

Half the Wait,
Same Price

Your standard turnaround drops from 10 working days to 5 — at no extra cost. Your projects move two weeks faster through building control.

Priority Rapid
Pricing

Next-working-day calculations at a VIP rate instead of the standard premium — saving you at least £175 on every urgent job.

Curate Your
Clients’ Options

Decide which delivery services your clients are offered when they quote with us — for example, “all my clients get the two-week service”. Set it once; it applies to every quote.

Director-Level
Account Manager

A named senior account manager with a direct line. No call centres, no handoffs — one person who knows your practice.

VIP-Marked
Quotes

Your clients’ quotes carry VIP status — they can see they’re a priority account, powered by our engineering.

Your Price,
Locked In

The price your instant quote gives is the price you pay — honoured as quoted even if the scope wasn’t spot on, in all but exceptional cases. No re-pricing, no haggling.

VIP FAQs

The questions partners actually ask.

What does VIP cost?

£250+VAT per month, billed in arrears — and automatically waived in any month your account bills £1,000+VAT or more (roughly two typical jobs). Hit the target and nothing happens at all: no charge, no refund, no paperwork. Payment is authorised at signup; money only moves in a missed month. Three-month minimum term, then rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice.

My clients instruct you directly — can I still be a VIP?

Yes. Work your clients instruct off the back of your referral is attributed to your account, so it counts toward your monthly waiver — your fee can be waived every month without you ever paying an invoice yourself. Your clients quote through your partner link and automatically get your curated services and terms.

What happens in a quiet month?

The fee bills — that’s the deal, and it’s deliberate. VIP works like a retainer: it holds your rates, your turnarounds and your account manager open, and in return we count on a consistent flow of work. Two jobs a month waives it entirely, and most practices sending us regular work never see a charge. If your volume has genuinely changed, you can cancel any time after the initial term and return to Basic — no arguments, no reviews.

Can I lose my VIP status?

Only if you cancel. There are no reviews, no demotions and no judgement calls — as long as your subscription is active, you’re a VIP, and any month you send us two jobs it costs nothing.

What does “curate your clients’ options” actually mean?

When your clients get an instant quote from us, you decide which delivery services they’re offered. Want every client of yours on the two-week service? Set it once and it applies to every quote on your account — your clients get exactly the service you’d have specified, without you touching the transaction.

Is Basic really free? What’s the catch?

Really free, no catch, no time limit. Basic partners get instant quotes, the PD Hub, and our full engineering service. VIP simply rewards the practices that work with us consistently — and the door is always open.
