Direct answer

When clinic construction or leasehold improvements are financed in stages, the lender may require evidence that eligible work has been completed before releasing the next draw. Requirements vary, but the project team may be asked for invoices, proof of payment, dated progress photographs, change documentation, inspections or milestone confirmation. The lender—not the contractor—determines eligibility and authorizes funds.

01

Why financed construction needs an organized record

Practice financing can cover eligible setup, expansion, equipment or leasehold-improvement costs, depending on the program and approval. Because the work and spending occur over time, some facilities release funds through scheduled advances rather than one payment.

A clean construction record helps the owner and lender understand what has been completed, what has been invoiced and what remains. It also reduces the risk of searching for supporting information when a draw is already time-sensitive.

02

Information a lender may request

Every financing agreement is different. Depending on the project and lender, a progress package may include:

  • Contract, accepted scope and budget
  • Invoices and evidence of eligible project costs
  • Dated photographs of completed work
  • Milestone or percentage-complete summary
  • Approved changes and updated cost information
  • Permit, inspection or consultant records when applicable
  • Equipment invoices or delivery confirmation
  • Owner authorization and lender-specific forms

03

How Build In York supports the process

For Build In York design-build projects, we can coordinate reasonable construction information requested by the owner’s authorized financing contact. This may include progress records, photographs, invoices and supporting milestone information generated through our work.

This coordination is a complimentary project service; it is not financial advice or a promise of funding. The lender retains control of program eligibility, valuation, inspections, approvals, draw timing and the release of funds.
