Funds Administration for Developers
You Build Projects. We'll Run the Back Office.
Independent invoice review, lien waiver management, and lender draw submission — handled by a dedicated financial partner so you can focus on the development, not the documentation.
You Didn't Get into Development to Process Lien Waivers.
You found the site, structured the deal, lined up the capital, and got the project approved. Now you're stuck reviewing pay applications you're not equipped to audit, chasing lien waivers from subs you've never met, and re-formatting draw packages every time your lender asks for them a different way.
The back-office work is eating your time, slowing your draws, and pulling you away from the work that actually moves projects forward.
You're approving pay apps without the time — or the cost-engineering expertise — to verify them line by line.
Tracking conditional and unconditional waivers across dozens of subs and tiers is a full-time admin job you didn't budget for.
Every lender wants documentation in a different format. Each draw becomes a multi-day exercise in repackaging.
The longer documentation takes, the longer subs wait, the more friction shows up on your jobsite.
A Financial Partner That Sits Between Your Contractors and Your Lender
We become the financial layer on your project — independently verifying costs, managing payments, handling waivers, and packaging draws for your lender. You stay in control of the deal; we run the administrative engine underneath it.
We Review Every Invoice
Independent cost verification on every pay application. Overbilling, double-charges, and inflated unit costs get flagged before payment moves.
We Manage Lien Waivers
Conditional and unconditional waivers collected, tracked, and matched to every payment.
We Package Lender Draws
Draw requests assembled to your lender's specifications, with every supporting document attached. Faster approvals, less back-and-forth.
We Inspect On-Site
Boots on the ground verify completion progress matches what's being billed — before any draw goes to your lender.
The Administrative Engine, Handled.
Here's the work you stop doing — and we start doing — the day Upside comes onto your project:
Invoice & Cost Review
Lien Waiver Management
Lender Draw Submission
On-Site Inspections
From Loan Close to Project Close — Every Draw, Managed
Here's what happens once Upside is on your project:
-
Loan Proceeds Flow Through Escrow
Your lender's construction loan draws are deposited into an Upside-managed escrow account. Funds don't move to the contractor until verified.
-
Contractor Submits Pay Application
Your GC submits their monthly pay app with supporting invoices, schedule of values, and conditional lien waivers.
-
We Inspect and Verify
Our team inspects the work on-site and reviews every invoice, validating costs against actual progress and contract terms before any money moves.
-
We Package the Draw for Your Lender
Verified pay application, sworn statements, AIA forms, lien waivers, and inspection documentation — assembled to your lender's specifications and submitted on your behalf.
-
Subs and Suppliers Paid Directly
Once the lender funds the draw, we pay subs and suppliers directly from escrow — and collect unconditional lien waivers as payments clear.
-
You Get a Clean File at Close
Every payment, every waiver, every inspection — documented and organized. Your project closes with a complete audit trail ready for the title company, your lender, and your own records.
You Run the Deal. We Run the Documentation.
Your time back
The hours you were spending on invoice review, waiver tracking, and draw packaging go back into deal-making, leasing, and project oversight.
Faster draws
Lender-ready documentation, submitted on the first try, means draws fund on schedule — and your subs stay paid and on the job.
A stronger lender relationship
Clean, independently verified draw packages signal sophistication. Your lender sees a borrower who runs a professional operation.
Real risk reduction
Independent cost verification, direct sub payment, and complete lien waiver coverage protect you from the financial failures that derail projects.
Let us handle the back office so you can build the project.
