Both Sides of the Financing Table

Why you Can't Miss This Webinar on Development Debt and Financing Management

What You’ll Learn:

• How developers are structuring deals in the current environment and what rising construction costs and tighter lending standards mean for managing financing.
• Where the developer-lender relationship breaks down during a project and what leading teams are doing to keep things on track from origination through completion.
• What lenders actually need in a draw package and how developers who submit cleaner, more complete packages get funded faster.
• How developers are managing budgets, change orders, and cash flow across multiple active projects without adding headcount.
• How automation is reducing the back-and-forth between developers and lenders on compliance, lien waivers, and documentation before payments go out.
• How AI is cutting draw assembly time by automatically mapping payables, lien waivers, and compliance docs into a lender-ready package.
• How both sides are using shared data and real-time visibility to replace the phone calls and status update emails that slow every project down.
• Where AI is making a real difference right now in invoice processing, document management, and reporting, and where it still requires human judgment.

Why This Matters:

Development loans are among the most complex transactions in commercial real estate, and the relationship between developers and lenders has rarely been more consequential, but it often comes with friction. Rising construction costs, shifting underwriting standards, and a tighter lending environment have changed how deals get done. Meanwhile, the financial side of a construction project involves a lot of moving parts across multiple parties. Draw packages, compliance documents, budget updates, and lien waivers still move through siloed systems, email chains, and several different spreadsheets for most companies, and when something slips it costs everyone.

This panel brings developers and lenders to the same table to talk honestly about how that relationship works in practice, where it breaks down, and what leading teams are doing differently with today's technology. Panelists will share what they're seeing on both sides of the table, what's changed in how they structure and manage deals, where they see opportunities as market conditions evolve, and how AI and technology tools are helping both sides move faster with fewer errors.
