Construction Resources

We have been in the building business for more than half a century and along the way, we have built up resources to make financing your construction project as easy and stress-free as possible. 

Inspections

We partnered with Northwest Construction Control (NWCC) in order to provide timely and qualified inspections for your construction project. To schedule an inspection, please visit NWCC's website

Vouchers

Construction Vouchers allow you to control your budget as you match your construction budget to actual dollars spent.  Vouchers are used to disburse funds for your construction project to your vendors. This payment process provides a system of controls as you match your construction budget to the actual dollars spent for the work. 

Here's how our Construction Voucher program works: 

  1. Before you begin work on your construction project, please inform your suppliers that they will be compensated using our Construction Voucher program.
  2. An inspector will visit your job site at your convenience to document completed work.
  3. We will then issue a cashier's check for each voucher at our office for only materials or labor marked complete on the inspector's report. An invoice stating the entire cost of the materials or bid must accompany these vouchers.
  4. You may present our Construction Vouchers to a wide variety of contractors and merchants. 
Our Construction Voucher program is a convenient way to disburse funds for your project to your vendors. Please call or email your request to our Construction Draw Department by 4:00 PM PST, Monday through Friday, for same day processing.
