Built around a comprehensive 11-month residential construction project, this course utilizes actual construc- tion draw sheets, detailed cost breakdowns, and both aerial and ground-level documentation to provide a step- by-step analysis of the construction lifecycle. The case study begins from initial budgeting and loan structuring to final completion and disbursement. Participants will gain practical insight into how construction funds are allocated and controlled, how progress is verified through inspections and draw requests, and how each stage of construction influences overall cost, risk, and value. The course further delivers a detailed, real-time analysis of the construction process, equipping participants with the ability to identify construction components, recognize finished products, and evaluate completion at each stage of development. Bridging the gap between theory and real-world application, this course equips attendees with the tools to interpret construction budgets and draw schedules, identify potential red flags, and better understand the financial and operational dynamics that shape residential development. This course is designed for real estate appraisers, construction loan professionals, builders, investors, and other industry participants seeking a deeper, practical understanding of construction finance, project execution, and inspection methodology.
