The problem

Where construction underwriting loses time

The work that eats analyst time today.
01

The budget is the collateral

Until the building stands, the lender is underwriting a schedule of hard costs, soft costs, and contingency. Checking it line by line against the request takes days.

02

The sponsor carries the risk

Guarantor cash flow and liquidity matter more here than on a stabilized loan, and they sit in personal returns and statements that someone has to spread.

03

Two cases in one file

The memo needs the construction period and the stabilized takeout. Keeping both cases in step by hand invites errors.

04

Concentration is watched closely

Construction and land development loans count toward the interagency CRE concentration guidance, so every new loan has to be tracked against the 100% threshold.

Frequently asked questions

Still deciding? Talk to our team.

Can vishwa.ai underwrite construction loans?

Yes. Vishwa AI reads the construction budget and the sponsor and guarantor financials, computes loan-to-cost, tests stabilized DSCR and debt yield on the pro forma, and drafts a credit memo that covers the construction period and the takeout.

How does vishwa.ai compute loan-to-cost?

Loan-to-cost is the loan amount divided by total project cost from the budget, with hard costs, soft costs, and contingency included. The budget lines and the formula stay visible, so a reviewer can see exactly what was counted.

Does vishwa.ai analyze the guarantors on a construction loan?

Yes. Guarantor returns and personal financial statements are spread and rolled into global cash flow, so the credit memo shows what stands behind the completion guaranty.

Does vishwa.ai track construction and land development concentration?

Yes. As part of portfolio monitoring, construction and land development exposure is tracked against the interagency CRE concentration guidance, with drill-down to the loans that drive it.

Is AI underwriting auditable and explainable?

Yes. Every figure links to the source document and the calculation behind it, so when an examiner, an auditor, or an LP asks how you got a number, you can show them in one click. Vishwa AI applies the same logic to every deal and keeps a complete audit trail, which is usually the part manual spreading cannot reproduce six months later.

How accurate is the extraction, and is there human review?

AI extracts, our experts verify, and your analysts review the exceptions. In practice that turns a multi-day spreading exercise into a quick validation, with people focused on the cases that need judgment rather than re-keying a T-12 into Excel.
