Eight service lines.
One trusted partner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When a construction loan goes sideways, SCG 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.

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.

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.

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).
