Financial Continuity

Banks and other lenders require information to ensure that the lending corresponds to the value of the project at each stage.

Failing to satisfy lending requirements can bring your project to a grinding halt, therefore bank drawdowns are essential to help ensure financial continuity.

CM carries out the following steps to help ensure that necessary lending requirements can be undertaken:

  • Review contract documents, drawings, specifications and prepare a basic report with any recommendations.
  • Provide confirmation to the bank once recommendations have been actioned. CM bases the report in accordance with the NZIQS Construction Financing Reports guidance document. (New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors, V2 October 2019) Monthly progress payments drawdown certificates, includes site visit, progress report and certification of the claim.
CM is currently working with:

ANZ Bank

ASB Bank

Westpac Bank

Kiwi Bank

ASAP Finance

BNZ Bank
