Construction Progress
Monitoring – Inspection
Construction lenders frequently mandate us to serve as their on-site representatives and provide updates on project advancement. Through Construction Progress Monitoring, HPP CARES conducts routine or monthly assessments of construction progress at the site to ensure alignment with contractual obligations. We verify client-provided data, evaluate project status, construction operations, and collateral status. Our assessors visit the site as directed or according to a predetermined schedule, producing written reports to ascertain completion of required improvements and adherence to the client's scope of work.
