Residential Construction Draw Inspections
It is a proven fact that 3rd party inspections will save you time and money.
We offer several different levels of pricing that are based on the volume of
inspections. Our pricing is based on what you need, but is a great deal
less than sending a productive officer or bank employee to perform this
important inspection! We have provided services for Regions (AmSouth), Trustmark, Bancorp
South and Wachovia banks in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
During the construction process we will inspect the residential job site and furnish a report on the status of the project. Our report includes percentage complete of all phases of construction and the total percent complete. We also provide comments concerning any problems noted and pictures.
Most of our residential inspections are made on pre-designed
forms using percentages of construction based on industry averages. We can use
your forms or ones designed by our company. The percentages on our forms are
based on actual local averages for your market area and national industry
averages.
On larger residential or remodeling projects we can also work from the
contractor's original cost projections and create an inspection form based on
their numbers.

Pre-Construction Reviews and Cost Analysis
Prior to construction we will review all construction documents including plans,
specifications, cost projections, contracts, engineering, environmental, time
schedules, zoning, permits, and licenses. In the cost portion of our analysis we
compare the projections to other similar projects to try and determine if all
phases of construction have been addressed and if those costs are adequate to
complete the project. The comparisons used are taken from our extensive database
of local projects as well as national averages. We provide this service for
residential, commercial, and development construction projects.

Quite often you or your customers would like an extra level of assurance on

detailed invoice verification. In this process we check each line item to
determine if the material and labor you have been billed is justified.
