Fund Control by Granite Loan Management

The Experts for Construction Lending

Owners

Building your dream home, though exciting, presents many challenges. Although you may be familiar with the traditional mortgage process, a construction mortgage includes additional elements of risk. GLM works on behalf of the financial institution to mitigate these additional elements of risk.

In a typical construction project, the contractor will request funds when work is completed. GLM's role is to ensure all subcontractors and suppliers are paid in timely fashion in accordance with the approved budget. In order to confirm the work is in place, GLM will request a site inspection from a local, approved inspector, as it considers necessary to protect the financial institution's interest. This process is important and will assist the financial institution in substantiating the collateral value of the home you are building. As the experts in construction lending, GLM is able to manage the most difficult projects while meeting your contractor's needs. GLM understands the importance of quickly turning around draw requests.

Many times a homeowner will build their dream home without the use of financial institution funds. This presents unique challenges for the homeowner. The homeowner must manage the additional responsibility of ensuring all subcontractors and suppliers are paid in a timely fashion. The homeowner must also understand the statutory documentation requirements in their state. If the draw process is not properly managed and the contractor does not pay the subcontractors and suppliers, the homeowner may be subject to mechanics liens. To mitigate your risk throughout the fund control process, consider directly contracting with GLM. The construction process is a complicated one and GLM's fund control services will ensure all subcontractors and suppliers are paid so that you don't have to pay the bill twice.
