If you are financing a construction or major renovation project with a construction loan, your lender will require draw inspections before releasing funds at each stage of the build. These are known as construction progress inspections — and they have to happen on time to keep your project funded and on schedule.
What Is a Construction Draw Inspection?
A draw inspection is an on-site visit by a qualified inspector who verifies that the work completed matches what was reported in the draw request. Lenders use this to confirm that funds are being released for work that is actually done — not work that is planned.
Who Orders Draw Inspections?
- Construction lenders (banks, credit unions, private lenders)
- Hard money lenders on fix-and-flip projects
- SBA lenders on commercial construction
- Portfolio lenders managing multiple borrower projects
What We Verify During a Progress Inspection
- Percentage of completion for each construction phase
- Work quality and code compliance at current stage
- Consistency between draw request and actual on-site progress
- Material deliveries on site
- Photos documenting current conditions at all key areas
