Why Washington Investors Work With Direct Private Capital Group

Washington Ground-Up Construction Financing
Own land, need to acquire a lot, or need to refinance existing land debt into construction financing?

DPCG can review the scenario and help organize the project information for potential financing sources.
What We Review
- Land basis or acquisition price
- Plans and specifications
- Permit status
- Hard and soft construction costs
- Builder/contractor information

Washington Contractors & Construction Requirement
Washington construction projects may require contractor registration, trade-specific licensing, local permits, inspections and other approvals depending on the work and location. Before closing or construction draws, confirm the project’s contractor, permit, zoning, insurance and inspection requirements for the specific jurisdiction. Washington Labor & Industries provides contractor registration and verification resources that can help confirm whether a contractor is properly registered. Borrowers can also verify a contractor or tradesperson through Washington Labor & Industries before proceeding with a project. Washington projects are also subject to applicable state building-code requirements and local permitting rules. The Washington State Building Code Council provides information regarding the statewide building-code framework.

Common Borrower Questions & What to Expect
