Best Practices in Funds Control Since 1936
Step 1
Project Set up
- Provide us a line-item budget, contact information for the parties, and number of draws.
Step 2
Draw Process
- One party, typically a property owner or borrower or general contractor, submits a draw request using the online portal. A draw request includes funds being requested by line item, invoices and appropriate lien releases.
Step 3
Inspections
- An inspector will confirm progress at the site.
Step 4
A site inspection
- A reviewed draw request with invoices and lien releases are sent to the approving party.
We are a fully bonded and audited Joint Control Escrow company (96DBO-50315) regulated by the California Department of Business Oversight.
Communications
Independent Third Party acting as a Liaison between the General Contractor, Lender, Insurance Company and the Owner.
Fraud Protection
We help prevent potential fraud or financial abuse by General Contractors by budget tracking, job site inspections, lien release monitoring & invoice collection.
Job Site Inspection
We provide a status report of the construction budget every time funds are released. This status report tracks the cost by individual line items, indicating the original budget amount, changes to the budget amount, the amount of funds released to date by dollar amount and percentage and compares it to the total percent completed on the job site by line item.
Lien Release Monitoring & Invoice Collection
Mechanics Liens can be filed by vendors or subcontractors and can cause financial difficulty for the property owners. We help prevent the filing of mechanic’s liens by collecting Invoices and Lien Release and making sure everyone who works on the property gets paid.
