Clear, fair terms for clients, architects, and contractors using Projinn. No hidden clauses — just how estimates, bids, payments, and conduct work when you build on our platform.

Clause 01
Who uses Projinn
Clients commissioning estimates or bids, architects onboarding their practice, and contractors joining the verified network — together, the 'Users' of this agreement.
By creating an account or submitting a project, you accept these terms and confirm the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Clause 02
The Technical Estimate
A Technical Estimate is a third-party cost document prepared by a qualified QS and reviewed by a civil PM. It is a benchmark — not a binding quote and not a guarantee of final build cost.
Estimates are valid for 90 days from issue, based on the rate-database version stated on the document. Actual market rates and site conditions may cause the final cost to differ.
Express delivery (48 hours) and standard delivery (5 business days) timelines begin once complete drawings are received and payment is confirmed.
Clause 03
Payments & refunds
Option A — Document Package is payable upfront at the published fee. Option B — Bids Only is free for clients; contractors pay to unlock full estimates and bid.
If a critical error is confirmed by PM review, we re-issue the corrected estimate at no charge. Refunds for document packages are available before PM review is completed; after that, the work product has been delivered.
All fees are inclusive of applicable taxes as shown on the invoice.
Clause 04
Bidding & escrow
Bid invitations go to verified contractors with matching trades and capacity. The same scope and deadline apply to every bidder; awards are made by the client.
For escrow-protected projects, client funds are held upfront and released on milestone completion. Milestone terms are defined before the build begins and require written confirmation from both parties.
Projinn facilitates the process but is not a party to the construction contract between client and contractor.
Clause 05
Verification & conduct
Contractors undergo GST validation, document review, and portfolio assessment within 48 hours. Misrepresentation of credentials results in immediate removal and forfeiture of bid access.
All Users agree to act in good faith — no bid rigging, no kickbacks, no sharing of another user's drawings or data without consent.
Projinn reserves the right to suspend accounts under investigation and to permanently remove users who breach these terms.
Clause 06
Intellectual property
You retain ownership of the drawings, documents, and information you submit. We hold a limited licence to use them only to deliver the services you requested.
The Projinn estimate format, rate database, and platform are our intellectual property. You may not resell, redistribute, or reverse-engineer them.
Clause 07
Limitation of liability
Projinn provides estimates and matchmaking in good faith but cannot guarantee the performance of architects or contractors, nor the final cost of any build.
Our liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific service that gave rise to a claim, except where law provides otherwise.
