DrawFlow
Construction Capital Readiness Infrastructure
DrawFlow coordinates the people, documentation, compliance, inspections, financial reviews, payments, and reimbursements required to move construction capital through an affordable housing project.
Workflow
From submission to the next draw
Each step carries its own requirements, owners, and documentation — and each one feeds the compiled package the next participant receives.
