What is DrawSat?
DrawSat delivers an independent satellite evidence report that confirms visible site progress before a construction lender releases funds. A lender sends one project address; we source dated imagery of that parcel from licensed commercial satellite operators, analyse what visibly changed, and return a PDF that can go straight into a draw file.
We sell reports. We do not sell a software seat, a subscription dashboard, or a data feed. There is no self-serve signup.
Imagery is typically around 30cm optical resolution, with synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) as a fallback when cloud blocks the optical capture. A human reviews every panel. Every report carries a provenance block: capture date, satellite source, resolution, processing chain, and the scope disclaimer.
Who does DrawSat serve?
Private and hard-money construction lenders, and fund-control vendors — the parties that hold the disbursement decision.
- Private and hard-money construction lenders funding draws on sites they cannot visit
- Fund-control vendors administering disbursements across scattered or out-of-state projects
- Counsel and claims teams that need a dated historical reconstruction of a site
What we will never claim
We publish this list because the fastest way to lose a lender's trust is to overstate what a satellite can prove.
- We will never overstate what orbit can prove. Satellites confirm visible exterior work. Interiors, quality, and code stay with the people on the ground.
- We will never claim to see inside a building. Interior framing, MEP, drywall, and finishes are invisible from orbit. If a draw turns on interior work, the answer has to come from someone standing in the building.
- We will never claim to verify workmanship, permits, or lien status. Those are documentary and professional judgements, not observable physical facts.
- We price the screen against the cost of a bad draw — not against an inspection invoice. A $399 Quick Draw Screen in 24–48 hours sits next to a 3–7 day inspection cycle and a wire you cannot pull back. The first report is $0 on a live file. We compete on speed, independence, and remote reach. Price is part of the offer.
- We will never present a clouded capture as a clean one. If optical imagery is obscured, we flag it and fall back to archive imagery or SAR, and the report states its confidence level.
