Capstone Draw Process:
- Draw Requests are due no later than 3pm on Mondays in order for an end of week disbursement. We typically disburse on Fridays by 5pm based on inspector findings. Please note that any draw submitted after 3pm on Mondays will NOT be accepted and will be delayed until the following week.
- Please complete the draw form completely according to the approved budget we have on file, including draw request #, access codes, or any important notes. Please attach the required supporting documents with the online draw form, see next line for details.
- Draws are to be submitted for completed work only (material deposits and reimbursements are the exception) and you must also provide backup documentation at the time of submission. See next line below for details. Any draws that do not follow our draw process will be placed on hold until the request is considered complete.
- Please attach paid receipts, check copies (cleared check front & back), invoices, and/or statements that correspond with each line-item request on your draw. Venmo, Cash App, etc. are acceptable forms; however, your project address must be referenced in the correspondence. Quotes are only accepted for material deposits only. There is an option on the above-mentioned draw request link to attach documents. Please be sure to indicate if any part of the draw is specifically for labor and/or materials. Failure to include the supporting documentation at the time of submission will cause the draw request to be incomplete or denied until items are received. This will delay disbursement.
- Receipts from or payments to Vendors may be required from time to time at our discretion. In some cases, we will pay vendor invoices directly. See your Construction Loan Agreement for more information.
- Capstone will only pay up to 50% of a line item for any material orders, deposits, etc. The remainder of that line item will be paid based on install of materials/completion and must include back up documentation of that line item for final payment.
- Funds for approved draws will be disbursed based on our review and/or the inspector’s funding recommendation.
- Draw funds may be disbursed in one of the following forms: check by standard mail, wire ($35 wire fee applies), and by ACH (direct deposit). Please note that all ACH transactions could take up to 24 hours to post in your account. A request to complete the wire/ACH form will be sent to you.
- Aside from third party inspections, we will request periodic detailed updates from you regarding your project. This is important information we send to the lenders who are funding your loan.
- You have an option to request a Rush draw, only when a rush is truly warranted, and pre-approved by management. Typically, a borrower should only have one to two requests per project. Additional rush fees will apply.
- Contingency funds will be released at lender discretion. Contingency percent (%) disbursed shall not exceed the total budget percent (%) disbursed. Backup documentation supporting Contingency request must be provided at the time of draw submission. Please see your construction loan agreement for more details.
- Project Management funds will be released at lender discretion. When requesting funds for project management, an invoice will be required at the time of draw submission. Please note that 15% retainage will be withheld upon the start of the project and will be released upon completion of the project.
- You may use a standard lien waiver for partial or completed payments to trades. Final unconditional lien waivers may be requested by Capstone at any point.
- If your loan is Stage Funded, see next line item for details:
Capstone will begin stage funding in increments of $5,000.00 minimum for all incoming draw requests that require stage funding.
Example #1: If you are requesting $3,000 for a draw, and the construction escrow accounts needs funds in order to fund this draw, we will stage fund $5,000.00.
Example #2: If you are requesting $29,000 for a draw, and the construction accounts needs funds in order to fund this draw, we will stage fund $30,000.00; and so forth.
- Capstone Servicing will no longer change draw requests, per borrower request (line items/disbursement amounts) from what was originally submitted. For any change request to a draw, you must resubmit your draw request with the changes on Monday (no later). These requests, though may seem small, have a ripple effect on our draw process from beginning to end, including inspector schedule and inspection report. Capstone has increased the number of construction accounts serviced; therefore, we kindly request your cooperation.
