AI and Construction Draw Inspection FAQs

AI can accelerate review and reduce administrative work in draw inspections, but funding decisions remain with the lender. This page explains where AI helps, how exceptions should be handled, and why field observation still matters.

How can AI be used in construction draw inspections?

AI can help identify incomplete submissions, organize photographs, summarize observations, compare documents, detect inconsistencies and prepare reports. It should support the inspection and review process rather than independently determine whether funds must be released.

Can AI determine construction progress from photographs?

AI can assist by recognizing visible construction stages and identifying potential inconsistencies. However, photographs may lack context or complete site coverage. Progress estimates should remain supported by structured field capture and appropriate human review.

Can AI approve a construction draw?

RAZE does not position AI as the final funding authority. The lender or authorized reviewer remains responsible for draw decisions. AI can organize evidence, surface exceptions and accelerate review within lender-defined controls.

How should AI exceptions be handled?

When information is missing, contradictory or outside established rules, the system should route the case to a human reviewer. The exception, supporting evidence, recommendation and reviewer decision should remain documented.

How can AI-assisted draw reviews remain audit-ready?

Every AI-generated observation or recommendation should be traceable to source information such as photographs, responses, budgets or project documents. Human approvals, corrections and overrides should also be recorded.

Does AI replace the field inspector?

No. AI can reduce administrative work and improve consistency, but it cannot automatically replace physical access, situational judgment and independent field observation for every inspection.
