Our Process
STEP ONE
Initial Consultation and Loan Preparation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your construction goals, budget, and financing needs. During this phase, we review your project plans, discuss timeline expectations, and identify the best financing options for your specific situation. We help prepare detailed cost estimates, construction schedules, and documentation packages that lenders require for construction loan approval. Our team can recommend local lenders familiar with our work or coordinate with your chosen bank to ensure all pre-construction requirements are met efficiently.
STEP TWO
Pre-Construction Coordination and Setup
Once your construction loan is approved, we coordinate directly with your lender to establish draw schedules, inspection requirements, and communication protocols. We review all loan documents to understand specific requirements and milestones, then align our construction timeline with funding availability. This phase includes obtaining necessary permits, scheduling initial inspections, and ensuring all parties understand the coordination process. We establish regular communication schedules with your lender and prepare initial documentation that will be needed throughout construction.
STEP THREE
Active Construction with Integrated Loan Management
During construction, we manage both building progress and financing coordination simultaneously. We submit draw requests with detailed progress documentation, coordinate required inspections at each milestone, and maintain regular communication with your lender about project status. Our team handles all paperwork, schedules inspector visits during optimal construction phases, and resolves any questions or concerns that arise. You receive regular updates covering both construction progress and financing status, ensuring complete transparency throughout the process.
STEP FOUR
Final Inspections and Loan Conversion
As construction nears completion, we coordinate final inspections with both local authorities and your lender, ensuring all requirements are met for successful loan conversion. We prepare final documentation, coordinate final draw requests, and handle all closing coordination between contractors, lenders, and other parties. Our comprehensive approach ensures a smooth transition from construction loan to permanent financing, with all documentation properly completed and all parties satisfied with the finished project.
