Advising
Guidance before funds start moving.
Stronghold Funds helps establish the structure, expectations, and documentation standards needed to keep construction funds accountable from the start.

- Help owners and lenders understand common payment risks before they become disputes.
- Provide practical guidance around lien waivers, verification steps, and reporting expectations.
Planning
A clear process for every draw request.
Planning turns funds control into a repeatable workflow. Each draw request is supported by invoices, proof of work, required documents, and verification before money is released.
-
Document intake
Collect draw requests, invoices, budgets, and required supporting materials.
-
Progress review
Confirm that requested payments align with actual project progress.
-
Payment approval
Release only approved amounts to the right contractors, suppliers, and vendors.
-
Reporting
Maintain a documented record for owners, lenders, audits, and accountability.
Stewardship
Ongoing oversight that protects every party.
Strong stewardship keeps project funds tied to verified work and documented obligations. The goal is to reduce confusion, prevent misdirected payments, and give every stakeholder a clearer view of where the money is going.
For lenders
Funds are released only for verified work, reducing exposure to overpayments and project defaults.
For owners
Project dollars stay protected until milestones are met and documented.
For contractors
Clear payment processes help support cash flow, documentation, and subcontractor confidence.
