A plain walkthrough of construction escrow for property managers: how funds are held, how milestones get verified, and how the whole thing becomes a report your owners can read.
A property manager’s guide to paying contractors and vendors across a portfolio without becoming the one who absorbs the risk: verified releases, lien protection, and a structure that keeps owner funds separate and accountable.
A commercial tenant’s guide to the TI allowance: why the money usually arrives last, what that does to your build-out, and how escrow puts the landlord’s contribution and your contractor’s draws on the same verified schedule.
A homeowner’s checklist for the hour before you sign: the nine things to verify in a construction contract, and the one clause that decides whether your deposit is ever at risk.
Most builder problems are visible before the contract is signed, if you know where to look. Here is how to evaluate a home builder on licensing, money, and structure, plus the terms no homeowner should accept.
Your money is in one state and your project is in another. A verification stack that tells you what is actually built, and a payment structure that acts on it.
One sentence in your subcontract decides when you get paid, and most subs sign it without reading twice. What a pay when paid clause really means, and the structure that makes it irrelevant.
The payment schedule decides who carries the risk on your renovation. Structure it around verified milestones and the biggest check of your year stops being a leap of faith.
