Our Services in Austin

Construction Loan Monitoring in Austin

From South Congress to Round Rock, we help lenders manage draw requests with monthly site observations, G702/G703 application reviews, and detailed construction progress tracking. We understand the pace of Central Texas development and keep you aligned with project milestones.

Plan & Cost Reviews for Austin Projects

Whether it’s a downtown mixed-use build or a suburban multifamily site in Pflugerville, our third-party plan and cost reviews evaluate budgets, schedules, and documentation to support sound lending decisions.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)

Austin’s rapid redevelopment, especially near Mueller, South Lamar, and The Domain, requires detailed environmental due diligence. Our ESA reports follow ASTM E1527-21 standards and are tailored for agency lenders and institutional buyers.

Property Condition Assessments (PCAs)

From aging retail on Burnet Road to luxury towers in the Rainey Street District, our PCA reports provide actionable insights for acquisitions, refinancing, and insurance purposes. All reports align with ASTM E2018-08 standards.

Sustainability Consulting in Austin

From Title 24 and LEED to Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) requirements, we help you meet sustainability goals through smart, future-ready design reviews and documentation.

Additional Services

We also offer Completion Cost Reviews, Construction Risk Management, and Draw Inspections customized for Austin’s unique zoning, permitting, and development environment.
