Construction Loan Monitoring for Central PA
From downtown infill to hospital expansions and Penn State-adjacent student housing, we help lenders and equity groups manage draw requests with monthly site observation reports, AIA application reviews, and payment verification. KOW’s insights protect timelines, budgets, and funding integrity.
Plan & Cost Reviews for Local Projects
Whether you're building near Innovation Park or expanding in Ferguson Township, our plan and cost reviews analyze budgets, timelines, and key construction documents to provide confidence before closing. Our experience supports both local banks and national lending institutions.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
As State College continues to grow, environmental due diligence is essential. Our ESAs meet ASTM E1527-21 standards and are tailored for transactions involving agency lenders, medical campuses, and commercial real estate. We identify environmental risks and compliance gaps before they impact your deal.
