Broadview Funding lends on construction and renovation projects, but it does not publish how its draws work. There is no stated draw request method, inspection type (physical or virtual), draw schedule, or per-draw turnaround.
What Broadview does emphasize is front-end speed and simplicity: it advertises a 1 to 7 business day closing period, describes a straightforward process without endless paperwork, and says it can often give an answer on a deal as soon as the next day. As a direct lender using its own capital, it controls funding decisions in house. Because the draw mechanics are not documented, investors financing a build or rehab with Broadview should confirm the draw request steps, inspection method, and reimbursement timing directly before closing.

Ratings are based on the following criteria:
Platinum & Gold Lenders
Platinum and Gold lenders are committed to delivering a modern, streamlined draw experience. These lenders typically support fully digital draw requests combined with virtual inspections across a wide range of project types. Their goal is to provide the fastest possible turnaround times without compromising risk management or construction oversight.
Silver & Bronze Lenders
Silver and Bronze lenders are still strong lending partners and have automated portions of their draw operations. However, the borrower experience may vary depending on the project type, inspection method, or capital partner requirements. In some cases, additional approval layers or third-party capital sources can increase reimbursement timelines.
About Virtual Inspections
Virtual inspections allow borrowers to skip scheduling a field inspector. They are typically reviewed within hours of submission. Borrowers must still document work thoroughly, including cost evidence (receipts) and lien waivers where applicable. Every lender listed on Lenderly offers virtual inspections and automated draw requests. The majority utilize independent construction experts for remote review, or they review submissions in house.
A draw-friendly lender is one that prioritizes speed, simplicity, and reliability when it comes to funding your project. They make it easy to request draws, minimize friction in the process, and get you reimbursed quickly so your project keeps moving.
The best draw-friendly lenders combine digital draw request tools with virtual inspections, allowing you to submit, verify, and receive funds often within 24 hours.
