Construction lending requires trust — but trust should always be verified.
Sentinel Home Inspections provides Draw Verification Inspections across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex for lenders, investors, and builders who need independent confirmation of progress before releasing construction funds.
Our Sentinel Shield 360™ process delivers clear, photo-documented reports that validate completed work, confirm materials on site, and ensure funds are being used as intended — protecting all parties throughout the build.
The Dallas Fort Worth real estate market moves fast. Multiple offers, waived contingencies, and compressed timelines are the norm. In this environment, a thorough real estate inspection isn't just recommended—it's essential for protecting all parties in the transaction.

Why Draw Verification Inspections Are Essential
Every phase of construction carries financial risk.
A draw verification inspection confirms that each milestone is complete and compliant before additional funding is approved.
We verify:
Stage completion (foundation, framing, mechanical, finish-out)
Quantity and quality of materials on site
Percentage of project completion for lender release schedules
Conformance with approved plans and specifications
Builder progress vs. payment requests
For lenders and investors, this means confidence that funds align with actual, documented progress.
Comprehensive Draw Verification Services
Construction Progress Verification
We evaluate the current phase of work, comparing on-site progress with the builder’s submitted draw request.
Material Confirmation
We confirm materials purchased with prior funds are present and properly stored for the next stage.
Photo & Documentation Reporting
Each report includes detailed, timestamped photos and notes organized by construction phase.
Builder & Lender Coordination
We work directly with builders, contractors, and financial officers to streamline communication and funding release.
Multi-Phase Tracking
For ongoing projects, we provide consistent documentation across every draw cycle to build a complete project record.
Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:
Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils
Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration
Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms
Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs
We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.
