WHAT WE HELP WITH
Know what was built before you pay
Private lenders, investors and owners need an independent check before each draw is released. We visit the site, compare the work in place with the budget and the draw request, and send a clear photo report. Our founder runs a licensed Virginia Class A contracting company and knows how projects are built and billed.

Construction Draw Inspections: Frequently Asked Questions
USLaw Group LLC provides construction draw inspections, progress reports and budget reviews for lenders, investors and property owners. Based in Manassas, Virginia, we serve Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.
​
What is a construction draw inspection?
A draw inspection is a site visit that confirms how much work is in place before a lender or owner releases the next payment. We compare the work with the budget and the draw request and document it with photos.
​
Who needs draw inspections?
Private and hard-money lenders, banks, real estate investors and owners who fund a renovation or new build in stages use draw inspections so they do not pay for work that is not finished.
​
Is a draw inspection the same as a home inspection or appraisal?
No. A draw inspection reports on construction progress and budget. It is not a home inspection, an appraisal or an engineering evaluation.
​
Can you review the budget before the loan closes?
Yes. We review the construction budget, scope, contractor bid and schedule and point out missing items or unrealistic numbers before funds are committed.
​
Do you track lien waivers and change orders?
Yes. We can collect lien waivers, invoices and change orders from the contractor and include them with each draw report.
​

We cover Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland. Contact us about projects in other areas.
