Construction Lending for Windows

CL4W is a construction loan project management and fund control system designed to meet the needs of most construction lenders. The capabilities of CL4W equal or exceed other systems that cost much more.

This system is easy to learn and use. Operations and reports are selected from pull-down menus and speed buttons. Payees can be found by name, even if misspelled. It's easy to get the information you need using our point-and-select record selection method.

Reduce fund control accounting problems while providing better service. You can have up-to-date information and respond to voucher requests and inspection demands.

Key Features

bulletEmploys a Client-Server SQL database that provides the highest level of data integrity, low license fees, and has very low maintenance requirements.
bulletMulti-lender capable. You can process for multiple organizations: the bank and a subsidiary.
bulletProvides predefined and custom check formats, 1098, and 1099-MISC forms. Use your existing checks: continuous or laser. Multiple payments for a payee can be combined on one check. Facsimile signatures can also be printed on checks.
bulletProvides California independent contractor reporting.
bulletAny transaction, posting or check can be reversed with automatic generation of reversing transactions.
bulletCritical data is fully edited and validated. Data entry is assisted by pick-lists of valid entries from which an entry can be found and selected. New payees can be added to on the fly as voucher requests are processed.
bulletProject budgets can be as detailed as desired with an unlimited number of budget accounts. Employ user-defined project budget templates.
bulletProvides total fund control. Advance funds in draws to a fund control account that is used to pay vouchers. Or, advance funds directly, as vouchers/invoices are submitted.
bulletFunds can be calculated and advanced automatically based upon the budgets’ available balance and percent complete.
bulletA full range of retention accounting is available: percentage or amount for the loan, percentage or amount for each budget account, and final retention until complete. Retention can be selectively released or reduced at any time
bulletThe fund source (loan, borrower funds, or side loan) can be automatic based upon available funds and fund usage priority or selected by the user for each disbursement.
bulletIncludes a complete check register and reconciliation system. Check register data can be exported to other systems. Paid items and checks issued are cross-referenced.
bulletTransactions can be batch posted or paid instantly. A "Fast Check" feature will post an individual payment and print a check in less than 30 seconds.
bulletInterest can be accrued at fixed rates or variable based upon multiple prime rate tables. Prime rate loans can have ceiling and floor rates. Interest is accrued daily on a user defined day basis (360, 365 or actual) and accrual base (principal balance, loan disbursed, or undisbursed). The daily interest accrual can be rounded or calculated to six decimals.
bulletLoan status can be tracked from underwriting, to funding, to reconveyance and payoff. Matured and closed loans are accounted for with the ability to post or correct data for these loans.
bulletAutomated loan fee accounting is based upon user defined Fee Types. One of the key features of loan fee automation is the application of a fee when a triggering event occurs. There are seven triggering events: bill once, bill each, commitment, extension, reconveyance, inspection, and manual.
bulletAn archive add-in module is available. Closed loans and their activity can be transferred to an archive database. Users can easily switch to/from the archive database.
