Building inspection company assists lendersBy Scott Hamele, DBIA President and founder of Nationwide Commercial Inspections, LLC (NCI) and Construction DesignWorks, LLC A great deal of commercial lenders find themselves in a bit of a dilemma when approving invoices from construction companies. A building inspection company can assist commercial lenders in monitoring construction bank draws by using a property inspection checklist. A draw, according to bankrate.com, is a payment taken from construction loan proceeds made to material suppliers, contractors and subcontractors. This means the borrower doesn't have to pay them from personal funds while the project is ongoing. Draws also keep vendors happy because they're getting regularly paid. Commercial lenders may be experts in the world of finance and lending but often lack the knowledge to understand the percentage of completion of a construction project. Most often the project architect is engaged in providing the service of inspecting the project, assessing how much has been completed and comparing it to the draw amount, also known as a pay application (pay app). The most commonly used and accepted pay app is the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Document G702™–1992. Helpful forms for the contractor and business inspection company AIA Document G702™–1992, Application and Certificate for Payment, and G703™–1992, Continuation Sheet (https://www.aiacontracts.org/ AIA Document G703-1992 breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor as required by the general conditions.
