Is Your Construction Project Ready for a Loan Review?
A construction file depends on more than credit and income. The lot, plans, builder, contract, budget, contingency, liquidity, occupancy, and timeline must work together. This short screen identifies what is ready and what still needs definition.

What makes a construction file reviewable?
Qualified builder
Builder experience, licensing, insurance, financial review, and contract form may matter.
Complete scope
Plans, specifications, budget, allowances, contingency, and draw schedule need enough detail for review.
Documented liquidity
Equity, down payment, closing costs, reserves, overruns, and lot value must be separated.
Workable income path
Self-employed and complex-income clients may need earlier documentation analysis.
Realistic timeline
Permits, appraisal, builder approval, underwriting, and closing rarely fit an emergency schedule.
