Construction & Infrastructure

Construction draws are being released on photos that don't show what you think.

Progress photos from contractor-held phones can show last week's work as today's milestone. Lenders and project owners release funds based on documentation they have no way to verify. Supershot changes that.

TL;DR

Supershot guides on-site inspectors or contractors through milestone documentation in real time. Every required area captured, confirmed at the construction site, streamed directly to the lender or project owner. Draws are released on verified proof — not contractor-submitted photos.

What construction lenders achieve with controlled capture

Verified milestones

Proof that work is actually complete — on-site, in real time — before draws are approved.

No recycled photos

Sessions timestamped and location-confirmed. Last month's framing photos can't be submitted for today's drywall draw.

Complete site coverage

Every required milestone area captured. Contractors can't show completed sections while hiding unfinished work.

Why can't construction lenders trust progress photos submitted by contractors?

Contractors control their own documentation — and have a direct financial incentive to advance draws as quickly as possible. Progress photos submitted from a contractor's phone can be taken days or weeks earlier than the draw request, show only the completed portions of a partially finished milestone, or recycle photos from a previous phase of work.

Construction loan fraud and overbilling is a persistent problem in the industry. Beyond outright fraud, even honest contractors often photograph selectively — showing what's done, not what isn't. Lenders are making draw decisions based on documentation that was never designed to be adversarially robust.

As remote and drive-by inspection products expand — offering lower costs than full on-site visits — the documentation gap between what lenders think they're approving and what's actually on site is growing wider.

How does Supershot work for construction draw inspections?

1

Inspector or contractor opens session

At the construction site. GPS confirms the correct location before capture begins.

2

Milestone-specific guidance

The app guides through exactly what the draw requires: framing, mechanical rough-in, sheathing, exterior cladding — each milestone has its own required photo set.

3

Real-time streaming to lender

Documentation streams directly to your draw inspection platform or LOS. No waiting for photo uploads. No "I'll send them later."

4

Draw-ready documentation

You receive a complete, location-verified, timestamped milestone package. Your team approves draws based on verified evidence.

How does Supershot reduce construction loan losses from fraudulent draws?

The most effective fraud prevention in construction lending is making it impossible to misrepresent milestone status at the documentation stage. When every draw requires a live, location-confirmed, guided photo session — not a batch of contractor-submitted photos — the opportunity for documentation-based fraud disappears.

For legitimate contractors, Supershot is frictionless: they open the app, walk the site, and the documentation is done. For anyone trying to advance draws ahead of completed work, the controlled capture process removes the mechanism they'd use to do so.

What construction lenders and project owners get with Supershot

On-site verified documentation

Every photo confirmed at the construction site address. Photos from the wrong location are flagged automatically.

Milestone-specific capture protocols

Configure exactly what each draw requires. Supershot enforces complete coverage before the session can be submitted.

No recycled or backdated photos

Sessions timestamped at capture. Last month's progress photos can't be submitted for today's draw.

Real-time draw documentation

Documentation arrives in your system as the inspector walks the site — not days later.

Reduced on-site inspection costs

Verified remote capture means fewer expensive in-person visits for routine milestone draws.

Complete audit trail

Every draw inspection fully documented: location, timestamp, sequence, and session history.
