Whether you’re a lender, homeowner, builder, or contractor, these inspections provide an essential layer of oversight that helps keep projects on track and ensures that funds are released appropriately. Let’s dive deeper into what these services entail and why they’re essential for your construction project.
What Are Construction Draw Inspections?
Construction draw inspections are a critical part of any construction loan process. These inspections ensure that the construction progress aligns with the budget and timeline set at the outset of the project. Here’s how they work:
On-Site Inspections: A certified inspector visits the construction site to assess the current stage of the project and compare it to the scheduled draw request.
Progress Monitoring: The inspector checks that the work completed matches the budget and timeline, helping to ensure that funds are disbursed accurately and appropriately.
Accountability: These inspections add an extra layer of accountability, ensuring that subcontractors are paid for completed work and preventing any discrepancies in the payment process.
Communication with Stakeholders: Inspectors gather information from contractors and homeowners to provide a comprehensive report that keeps all parties informed.
Why Construction Draw Inspections Matter
Construction draw inspections are essential for anyone involved in a construction loan, whether it’s the homeowner, lender, or builder. Here’s why they are so important:
Ensures Project Stays on Track: Regular inspections ensure that the project is moving forward as planned, reducing the risk of delays or cost overruns.
Prevents Overpayment: By ensuring that funds are only released for completed work, these inspections help prevent overpayment and safeguard your investment.
Lender Oversight: For projects financed by lenders, construction draw inspections act as the lender’s eyes and ears on the ground, ensuring that their investment is protected.
What Are Final Inspections?
A final inspection is conducted once the construction project is complete, verifying that all work has been done according to the original plans and specifications. This inspection confirms that the project has met all local building codes and regulatory requirements before the final payment is made. Here’s what we check during a final inspection:
Compliance with Plans: Verifying that the completed project matches the original architectural plans.
County Inspection Review: Ensuring all county inspections have been passed and any necessary permits have been approved.
Work Completion: Confirming that all contracted work has been finished to the agreed-upon standards.
What Are Disaster Inspections?
In the unfortunate event of a natural disaster, disaster inspections are necessary to assess any damage to a property and determine its current condition. These inspections are often required by lenders or insurance companies to assess the level of damage and the necessary repairs.
Damage Assessment: We assess the extent of the damage caused by events such as hurricanes, floods, or fires.
Compliance with Insurance or Lender Requirements: These inspections provide essential documentation to ensure that any claims or repairs are handled in accordance with lender or insurance requirements.
