Draw Inspections in 5 Unique Places, June 2025

The market

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and the seat of Fulton County, and part of the city lies in DeKalb County. Its metro, Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, spreads across 29 counties in north Georgia and is the sixth-largest in the country, with about 6.3 million residents in 2023. Over the first ten months of 2024, it ranked fourth in the nation for single-family building permits.

How RAZE ran it

For a lender, metro Atlanta means draws spread across 29 counties, from intown lots to subdivisions in the outer ring. RAZE keeps that book reviewable by keeping every order identical: placed in the Ordering Engine, dispatched, captured in the RAZE Mobile App against the draw sheet and delivered in one report format. A draw in Fulton County reads like one in any other county of the metro, whether the lender's own inspector took it by Direct Request or the Marketplace filled it.

Panama City Beach is a Gulf beach city in Bay County. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael came ashore near Mexico Beach, to the east, as the first Category 5 storm on record to hit the Florida Panhandle, and the county has rebuilt and kept growing: the Panama City-Panama City Beach metro grew 3.8 percent from 2023 to 2024, second in the country. New communities are going up north of the beach along State Road 79, and FDOT began widening Back Beach Road, U.S. 98, from four lanes to six in 2023.

How RAZE ran it

A lender financing a new home in a county that knows what a storm can do wants the draw record to show each stage it pays for. The RAZE Mobile App stamps every photo with GPS coordinates and the date and time and links it to the draw sheet line item it supports, so a reviewer sees the foundation, the framing and the roof documented in order, with where and when each was captured.

The market

Celina straddles Collin and Denton Counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, where the growth that started in Plano and moved north to Frisco has reached it. From July 2022 to July 2023, Celina grew 26.6 percent, the biggest gain of any U.S. city with 20,000 or more residents, and Census estimates put it at about 51,700 people in July 2024, more than three times its 2020 count.

How RAZE ran it

Growth that fast means new subdivision streets a map may not know when the first draws come due. Whatever the order calls the address, every photo the inspector captures in the RAZE Mobile App is linked to its draw sheet line item and carries GPS coordinates and date and time stamps, so the record shows which lot and which work each draw is paying for.

The market

Pinehurst is a village in Moore County, and much of its center, resort included, is a National Historic Landmark District, designated in 1996 for its landscape design by Frederick Law Olmsted and its place in the history of American golf. Pinehurst No. 2 hosted its fourth U.S. Open in 2024 and is the USGA's first anchor site, with U.S. Opens scheduled there in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047.

How RAZE ran it

Orders here have come in as lot numbers, before a street address existed. A lot number alone can't show a reviewer where the house stands, and the photos can: every photo captured in the RAZE Mobile App carries GPS latitude and longitude with date and time stamps and is linked to its draw sheet line item. The lender sees where the work is as well as how far along it is.

The market

Mount Pleasant sits across the Cooper River from Charleston, linked to the city by the eight-lane Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, completed in 2005. It counted 90,801 residents in the 2020 census, the fourth-largest municipality in South Carolina. Growth came fast enough that the town has rationed residential building permits through an allocation system since 2019, to slow growth while its roads and other infrastructure catch up.

How RAZE ran it

Getting to a Mount Pleasant site can mean the Ravenel Bridge from the Charleston side, and a lender based elsewhere may have no inspector of its own in the Lowcountry. That lender can order through the Marketplace, which sends a background-checked inspector from the RAZE Inspection Network. Every photo comes back with GPS coordinates and a time stamp, linked to the draw sheet line item it supports, and the report reads the same as one from anywhere else in the Lowcountry.
