CLA Integration for Residential Draw Inspections
Lenders evaluating inspection workflow modernization often start with the same question: Will this require replacing our CLA platform?
No. RAZE integrates with Presidium and works inside the construction loan administration (CLA) workflow you already run.
Inspection requests align with your existing loan administration process. Deliverables flow back into your established operating environment. Your core systems stay in place.
Disclosure
RAZE and Presidium are affiliates. RAZE is owned by Codefi, the company behind Presidium, so we have a financial interest in both.

Where coordination breaks down
Many residential construction programs still run on email-based inspection ordering, inconsistent vendor documentation, and disconnected audit records. As a portfolio scales across branches and geographies, that variability grows.
The inspection itself may be sound. The coordination and documentation around it are where risk and friction come in.
How the integrated workflow runs
The integration puts every inspection through the same four stages, whichever fulfillment model you use.
Order
Draw inspection requests start in a structured workflow aligned to your CLA process.
Dispatch
Inspections are fulfilled through Marketplace (RAZE-managed) or Direct Request (your own staff or contracted vendors).
Capture
Inspectors work through a mobile-first, structured capture process that standardizes evidence collection.
Deliver
Consistent deliverables and reports return through the workflow to support review and recordkeeping.
Lenders keep institutional control
Standardizing the workflow doesn't mean outsourcing control. Lenders keep:
Configured workflow rules
Reporting standards
Vendor model decisions
Oversight and review authority
Auditability in existing CLA flows
Inspection documentation has to withstand internal audit, external review, and regulatory scrutiny. The integration supports that with standardized evidence capture, centralized deliverables, and clear traceability across the inspection lifecycle.
A modernization layer, not a system of record
The goal is better visibility and defensible documentation, without adding system fragmentation or replacement risk.
Why residential draws come first
Residential draw inspections are typically higher volume, more geographically dispersed, and more sensitive to borrower communication timing. For many institutions, that makes them the most practical place to start.
Once residential processes are stable, commercial draw inspections can follow on the same operating model and the same four stages, without a separate system.
What this means for CLA providers
The Presidium integration reflects a broader strategy: RAZE is built to integrate with established CLA software providers, not displace them. That gives lenders a path to operational improvement without a system overhaul.

Where to start
Evaluating inspection workflow modernization? Start with three checks:
- Map how inspection requests are initiated and tracked today
- Review documentation consistency across branches
- Evaluate how coverage and fulfillment vary across your current vendors
