Construction Loan Monitoring in Washington, D.C.
From major redevelopment projects in NoMa and Capitol Hill to new government and mixed-use buildings along the Anacostia waterfront, our Washington, D.C. construction consultants provide reliable Construction Loan Monitoring. We manage draw requests, perform monthly site observations, and verify AIA G702/G703 applications to help lenders mitigate risk and maintain transparency throughout each phase of construction.
Plan & Cost Reviews for D.C. Projects
Whether you’re developing multifamily housing in Navy Yard or renovating institutional buildings in Georgetown, our Plan and Cost Reviews deliver detailed evaluations of budgets, plans, and schedules. These third-party reviews give lenders and equity partners the insight they need to make informed, data-driven financing decisions.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
Environmental due diligence is vital in the nation’s capital, where historical land use and urban density often present hidden risks. Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments comply with ASTM E1527-21 standards and meet Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD guidelines—supporting safe, compliant real estate transactions.

From historic federal properties to modern commercial towers downtown, our Property Condition Assessments identify physical needs, maintenance priorities, and capital requirements. Each report adheres to ASTM E2018-08 and supports acquisitions, refinancing, and asset management strategies for institutional clients.
