Draw Inspections in 5 Unique Places, August 2026

The market

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city in the continental United States, and it sits in St. Johns County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. Those two facts describe the construction market: infill and renovation inside a historic core with its own architectural review, and large new residential development pushing out along the county's corridors.

How RAZE ran it

A coastal draw inspection in St. Augustine has to show what the code requires: elevated foundations, flood zone compliance, wind-borne debris protection. The photo set is the proof. If a lender already has an inspector it trusts in Northeast Florida, Direct Request runs that inspection through the same workflow as a Marketplace order, and the report comes back in the same format.

The market

Davis sits at the top of West Virginia, the highest incorporated town in the state, on the edge of Canaan Valley and Blackwater Falls State Park. The construction is cabins, second homes and small resort development, driven by ski season at Timberline and Canaan Valley and a summer trail economy. It is a town of a few hundred people with more building activity than that number suggests.

How RAZE ran it

Much of Davis is a long way from a reliable signal, so the inspector works in the RAZE Mobile App's offline draft mode: the full capture, photos and structured responses included, is completed on site and syncs when the phone finds a connection on the drive out. The lender receives the same record it would get from a suburban site with five bars.

The market

Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing large cities in the country, with master-planned communities filling in the north side and a deep fix-and-flip and ground-up market across the metro. For a private lender, it is not one inspection but a reinspection every month on every active loan.

How RAZE ran it

Volume is where a standardized workflow earns its keep. Every order in Fort Worth follows the same path, every inspector captures against the same criteria, and every report lands in the same format, whether the lender routes the order to its own inspector by Direct Request or lets the Marketplace fill it. Across dozens of draws in one metro, that consistency is what keeps the portfolio reviewable.

The market

Bullhead City sits on the Colorado River where Arizona, Nevada and California meet, across the water from Laughlin and about a hundred miles south of Las Vegas. It is a retirement and second-home market with active new subdivision construction, a long drive from Phoenix or Las Vegas. Summer highs run well past 110 degrees, and because Arizona doesn't change its clocks, this Mountain Time market keeps Pacific hours in August.

How RAZE ran it

A lender without an inspector of its own out here doesn't need one: that is what the Marketplace is for. The lender orders through RAZE as usual, RAZE sends a background-checked inspector from the RAZE Inspection Network, and the field capture, geo-stamps, timestamps and report come back through the standard workflow. Nothing changes in how the lender administers the loan.

The market

Eugene is one of Oregon's largest cities and the anchor of the southern Willamette Valley. Since the city adopted its middle housing code in 2022, lots that were single-family only can carry duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, cottage clusters and townhouses. That has shaped the residential pipeline: more small multi-unit infill, more ADUs, more projects with several structures on one parcel.

How RAZE ran it

A cottage cluster is four to eight buildings behind one budget, so the photo evidence has to land on the right line items for the right structure. RAZE links photos to draw sheet line items and returns the history of who captured what, and when. Eugene joins Portland from the June report: one workflow up and down the I-5 corridor.
