Frequently Asked Questions
-
A funders' quantity surveyor (funders' QS) is an independent consultant appointed by a lender — typically a bank or private equity provider — to monitor a construction project on their behalf. The funders' QS verifies that the project is progressing as reported, that costs are in line with the approved budget, and that drawdown requests are accurate and properly supported before the lender releases funds.
-
Bank drawdown reporting involves preparing a regular, independent report for the lender that confirms the current status of a construction project, verifies the value of work completed to date, and certifies the amount of funding the lender can safely release to the borrower. BPM's drawdown reports are detailed, compliant with lender requirements, and reflect the project's real-time financial position
-
Lenders require an independent monitor because they need an expert third party — one with no financial interest in the development — to verify that their security is being protected. Without independent oversight, lenders are reliant entirely on the borrower's own reporting, which creates significant risk. BPM's independence is what gives banks and investors confidence in the numbers.
-
BPM's construction loan monitoring covers: verification that works are progressing in accordance with the approved programme and budget, assessment of payment claims and variation requests, review of contractor documentation and compliance, cashflow forecasting, identification of emerging risks to the project's financial position, and certification of drawdown amounts aligned with lender conditions.
