Services

Eight service lines.
One trusted partner.

Every service line is designed to serve the same core client pool — lenders, developers, and owners — across multiple engagement types. A single relationship can generate value across five service lines simultaneously.

Construction Draw Review & Pay App Analysis

Independent third-party review of contractor payment applications on behalf of construction lenders. Includes AIA G702/G703 review, percent-complete verification against site conditions, lien waiver compliance, retainage tracking, front-loading detection, and a written recommendation memo delivered within 48–72 hours.

Permit Expediting

Full-service permitting management across DFW municipalities. Submittal package preparation, city and county liaison, plan review tracking, fire marshal and utility coordination, and Certificate of Occupancy facilitation — reducing costly project delays caused by permitting friction.

Feasibility Studies & Pre-Construction Risk Review

Independent pre-construction feasibility analysis assessing cost reasonableness, schedule viability, entitlement risk, and contractor qualifications. Delivers a written report with findings and recommendations — giving decision-makers an independent second opinion before capital is committed.

Loan Monitoring Retainers

Ongoing monthly portfolio oversight for lenders with multiple active construction loans. Includes monthly draw review across the portfolio, project health dashboards, site inspection attendance, early distressed loan identification, OAC meeting attendance, and on-call availability for loan officers.

Distressed Project / Workout Advisory

When a construction loan goes sideways, SCC provides on-site assessment of construction progress vs. draw history, independent cost-to-complete estimates, contractor financial and performance assessment, subcontractor lien exposure review, and a formal workout advisory report with recommended resolution paths.

Budget & Bid Leveling Review

Independent evaluation of GC bids and budget packages for cost reasonableness. Division-by-division analysis, identification of missing or under-scoped line items, allowance adequacy review, and a written bid leveling memo with negotiation recommendations.

Change Order & Claim Analysis

Independent evaluation of change order packages and contractor claims. Assesses validity of basis, pricing reasonableness, schedule impact legitimacy, and cumulative change order trends — a natural upsell from existing draw review relationships.

Project Health Analysis

A structured, independent assessment of a construction project's overall condition. Offered in two tiers: a Quick Review (desktop analysis of RFIs, submittals, pay apps, change orders, and schedule) and a Full-Depth Analysis (drawings, site visit, subcontractor interviews, independent cost-to-complete, and formal report with risk matrix).

Surety & Carrier Field Services

Independent field assessment and progress reporting for sureties and bonding agencies.
