How Funds Control Works

Who This Serves

Commercial Lenders Surety Companies Real Estate Developers General Contractors

01

Funds are escrowed

Project funds are secured in a dedicated, FDIC-backed account — never commingled with other projects.

02

Draw requests are reviewed

Every draw is verified against Dayhill’s control checklist before a single dollar is released.

03

Lien releases secured

All lien releases are properly obtained from subs and suppliers on a timely basis.

04

Weekly reporting

Stakeholders receive comprehensive, transparent reports covering all account activity and project status.

common questions

The cost of funds control varies based on the project size, complexity, and level of oversight required. Dayhill provides a tailored fee structure so lenders can understand the cost upfront while protecting project funds throughout construction.

VERIPAY is designed specifically for construction funds control. Rather than simply holding funds, it adds an active layer of oversight by reviewing draw requests, verifying supporting documentation, and helping ensure funds are released for approved project expenses.

Yes. Funds control can be introduced after a project has already started. Dayhill can review the project’s current status, documentation, and remaining funding before establishing the appropriate controls for the remainder of the project.

Commercial Lenders Surety Companies cre developers

02

Monthly Site Inspections

04

Ongoing Risk Communication

Immediate notification of schedule, budget, or quality concerns as they arise.

common questions

Site inspections are typically performed at key stages of the project and before each major draw to verify progress and ensure the work completed aligns with the approved construction budget. The frequency may vary depending on the project, lender requirements, and construction schedule.

A monitoring report provides a detailed assessment of the project’s current status. It typically includes the percentage of work completed, progress compared with the approved budget and schedule, observations from the site inspection, draw recommendations, and any potential issues or risks that could impact the project.

Yes. Construction monitoring can be combined with funds control to provide lenders with a more comprehensive level of oversight. This approach allows the lender to verify construction progress while also ensuring that loan funds are properly managed and disbursed in accordance with the project’s budget and completion status.

common questions

Ideally, an owner’s representative should be involved as early as possible—preferably during the planning and pre-construction phase. Early involvement allows the owner’s rep to help establish the project budget, review plans and contracts, coordinate with the project team, and identify potential risks before construction begins.

A contractor’s project manager represents the contractor. An owner’s representative represents you — independently managing your contractor, budget, and schedule so your interests come first at every stage of the project.

Yes. Owner’s representation pairs naturally with Dayhill’s construction monitoring. Your owner’s rep manages the project on your behalf, while independent monitoring verifies progress and conditions in the field — giving you a complete, unbiased picture of your project at every stage.
