Templates
Prebuilt invoice templates with mortgage-specific fields, payment schedules, and optional line-item groupings so designers can produce consistent documents that meet lender review expectations and reduce back-and-forth requests.
A clear, verifiable invoice improves lender confidence by documenting project scope, costs, and approvals; it reduces underwriting delays and supports accurate loan-to-value and draw disbursement calculations.
The Project Manager prepares the invoice, compiles supporting receipts and photos, and coordinates with subcontractors. They ensure the invoice accurately reflects project milestones and that deliverables match the lender's draw schedule and documentation requirements.
The Mortgage Officer reviews submitted invoices to verify costs align with underwriting criteria, confirms supporting documentation, and manages disbursement approvals or requests for additional information from the design team or borrower.
