Fraud is an unfortunate cost of business in the construction industry—and you're exposed to more of it when processes are slow and paper-based

Accelerate Draw Inspections: Borrowers can become desperate when money gets tight. When they need to pay contractors and vendors weekly—and their credit cards and personal savings are maxed out—they may resort to fraud. Slow draw inspections can encourage borrowers to inflate their draw requests, manipulate spending records in their project documentation, and mislead field inspectors about completed work.
•
Create Predictability: The current method of processing draws in the industry is often unpredictable, leading to significant distrust among borrowers. They may feel unsupported by their lender, reducing the relationship to a mere transaction. By implementing predictable and swift draw processing, lenders can reduce fraud exposure by 50%.
