RESPONSIBILITIES
Construction Project Assessment & Evaluation
You will evaluate construction progress using on-site photographs, inspection reports, and supporting documentation to verify that project execution aligns with the approved scope of work, budget, and applicable building codes and regulations.
You will assess construction progress across different trades and assign appropriate percentage-of-completion ratings to support accurate evaluation of borrower draw requests.
You will critically review project documentation to validate the status of completed work, identify discrepancies, and determine whether the reported progress reasonably supports the requested reimbursement.
You will evaluate construction methods, labor requirements, and project costs to assess their reasonableness against approved budgets and project specifications.
You will identify potential construction delays, cost overruns, incomplete work, and other project risks that could affect the property's completion or financial performance.
Construction Draw Management & Project Monitoring
You will support the Draw Management team in assessing construction reimbursement requests and determining whether requested disbursements are supported by verified project progress.
You will review construction schedules, project milestones, and estimated completion dates to assess whether projects are likely to be completed before the associated loan maturity dates.
You will evaluate project budgets and cost estimates to identify potential funding shortfalls, unexpected expenditure, and deviations from the approved construction plan.
You will provide clear, evidence-based assessments to support appropriate construction funding decisions and maintain consistency with established draw management procedures.
Risk Assessment & Stakeholder Communication
You will communicate project status, assessment findings, recurring concerns, and potential risks to leadership and relevant stakeholders to support timely decision-making.
You will coordinate with loan originators, borrowers, developers, contractors, and other external stakeholders to obtain additional information and clarify construction-related discrepancies.
You will maintain accurate assessment records, supporting documentation, and project updates to ensure transparency and facilitate effective monitoring.
You will contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring project assessment issues and recommending improvements to review procedures and reporting practices.
