What is a bank drawdown report?
A bank drawdown report is an independent assessment of construction progress and project value at a specific point in time.
It confirms that work has been completed in line with the building contract and funding conditions. This allows lenders to assess risk and approve staged payments.
At CM-NZ, we treat drawdown reporting as a key part of financial control and project governance.
